Check out my new Diamond X5000a antenna. I ran about 60’ of LMR-400 from my basement all the way up to my higher attic. which puts the antenna about 30’ above the ground and at an overall elevation of 950’.
Factoring in line loss and antenna gain, I am expecting a max wattage output of about …
220 Watts on 2M
400 Watts on 70CM
60 Watts on 23 CM
KC9AAP and myself were testing with the local repeaters and we were very impressed with both the antenna and IC-9700.
