It is I think the first 2 tuner version Silicondust made.
They can still be had on ebay too. HDHR-US is what it says on the unit and on the LAN. Oh and I have a 8 1/2 foot 1 inch tube from the broken VHF antenna I was pondering using for a really long UHF antenna using the corner reflector and dipole from my 3672. Not sure what it will do but I'm assuming it will have a really narrow beam with that long of a boom. I just haven't had time to get the a hang of 4nec to model it.

Ok what is wrong with this model?

For one thing, thats a lot of 3/4" tubing, heh. On wire size, you input the radius, which is 1/2 the diameter.
Since the antenna is modeled in free space, theres no need to lift the antenna higher in the Z coordinate. Having the antenna centered on the Z and X coordinates is fine and simplifies things. Youre catching on very well in Geometry edit.

OK I input 3/8" because that is what I will be using from the old antenna elements that I have acquired. It keeps spitting out an segment error when I run the far field pattern.
So what your saying is I input half the wire diameter? Quote:

Some NEC2 "shell" programs use Diameter, but 4nec2 as well as the underlying
NEC2 Engine expect to see RADIUS. After changing GW1-7 and GW107-131 to Radius, AutoGainTest was still WAY OFF. I adjusted Radius of GW132 (simulated SOURCE wire) to 0.006 (feet) for AGT=1.0. No ERRORS or Warnings after rerunning the file. AGT adjustment procedure: http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/show....php?p=1301430 There are several different wire sizes in GW8-106, small wires forming and surrounding the Bow-Tie element....it might help if more were the same size. The SOURCE wire size may need to be readjusted for AGT=1.0 if you change any of these other wire sizes. Minimum Gain = 10 dBi with a fairly broad Gain peak of 18-19+ dBi on Ch40-51, corresponding to the best part of the SWR curve. Everyone starts with Geometry Editor....but I've found that it is EASIER to "see" what you have if you use SYmbols to define "universal" antenna models and then simply read through the SYmbol definitions to review the various Reflector and Director Lengths, Radii, X-Axis placements, et. al. You can also define a Rescale Factor (e.g. "SY F=1.05"), where "F" is multiplied against ALL of the X, Y, Z variables to change the size and thereby recenter the overall frequency response until the performance is a "best fit". SYmbols are also a pre-requisite for using nikiml's python optimization scripts.... |

I see I didn't know it was using radius...so 3/8" diameter aluminum elements would be 3/16"?
I can't change the bowtie unless I make a whole new dipole. I'm using the bowtie that came off my CM3672 UHF section. The pictures and dimensions of which are in my Picasa album. I need it to peak around channel 23. I'm not really good with the math so not sure how to setup the symbols to optimize this antenna. I can wrap my head around the X, Y & Z for placement and initial sizing but that is as far as my middle aged brain can handle.  I have what is left of a boom from an old Channel Master VHF antenna which is 104 inches long less the 4 1/2 inches where I'm going to put the mount which is going to behind the reflector. I'm going to use the the aluminum support rods that came off that antenna to support the antenna sticking out from the mast. My thought is that this will keep the mast out of the zone of the directors and help the antenna perform better. So I ended up with right at 8ft of antenna unless the spacings are better at less than 3 1/2 inches apart. Thanks holl_ands and 300ohm

On a corner reflector yagi antenna, the reflector controls the lower channels gain and the yagi controls the upper high channels range. My summary from other sites on the web: * basic 90 degree corner reflector yagi design guidelines: Design the yagi for the high frequencies, design the corner reflector for the low frequencies. The distance from the CR apex to the driven element should be between 1/3 wavelength and 2/3 wavelength of the lower frequencies. This is where the tweaking comes in. Too small a distance and the SWR is high. Too large a distance and the antenna produces lobes, which take away directionality. The width of the CR should be 1.2 to 1.5 times the width of the driven element. (more is better, but the law of marginal utility applies) The length of one side of the CR should be approx 2 times the CR apex to driven element distance. The Law of Marginal Utility. Its not just a good idea, its the LAW.

Ok but is there a way to move the dipole as a unit with a SY card so the position on the boom can be optimized?
holl_ands did you happen to save the resulting nec file so you can upload?

Thanks holl_ands I will remember that for next time.
I appreciate the help.

Here is an example of what I have recently been working on.
It's an 8-Element Yagi (without the extra Reflector Rods) 4nec2 file that is setup to find an "Optimized" solution by randomly picking a bunch of "trial" antennas where the elements Lengths and Spacing between Elements are random variables within the specified "Min, Max" ranges. Download & instructions for nikiml's python scripts are found here: http://clients.teksavvy.com/~nickm/scripts.html The scripts conveniently take care of AutoSegmentation, including reassignment of the "center" segment for the EX Card....NOT sure re TL Card.... Once you see the pattern, it should be easy to add more Directors and Reflector Rods. If you use a single variable to make most of the Directors the same size (as you have), the search will run faster, however, I would make the first one (or two) Directors individually variable, since they have a big influence on SWR. BTW: Python optimization for the below file ran for about 1-1/2 DAYS on my Triple Core Phenom II processor...and some are "only" 12-hours. Most (not all) of my models use SYmbols: http://imageevent.com/holl_ands ======================================================== This particular 4nec2 file has an unusually large (40+ dB across Ch13) Front/Back Ratio, although at the expense of Raw Gain (only 10-11 dB across Ch14) and Front/Rear Ratio. I have many more runs, using different target-functions...my best is 13.7 dBi, but with some minor detriment to F/B & F/R.....so I'm getting closer to K6STI's.... Compare to K6STI's 8-Element Ch13 Yagi (up to 13.3 dB Raw Gain with high F/B & F/R): http://imageevent.com/holl_ands/yagis/ch138elk6sti I'll (probably) be posting detailed results for the fol. 4nec2 file sometime "soon": Code:

Also, in this particular run I did NOT include f2r in the target-function and the relative "importance" of gain error needs to be much more than for f2b.

Cool
Figured out what didn't look right. Was missing corner reflectors. Still can't get the AGT to 1 though. Code:

Just so you all know I'm running 4nec2 in Linux under wine.
I do have the python-necpp installed.

Ok I went back to a CM3671 file that I think 300ohm supplied somewhere.
I removed all but the UHF dipole. For some reason there are alot of odd radii in the nec file. I can't get this resulting model to produce a AGT of 1. I figure that is part of the problem with my model above, because I used this for the dipole in that model. I figured why reinvent the wheel when that is the dipole I'm trying to use on my new antenna. Code:
