Happy to hear the video was helpful. Let us know if you have any questions.

My HG3 QRO is roof mounted. Is there a method to swap between 10-40m and 30-80m? I really don’t want to climb up on the roof every time I want to switch bands. 😊

Yes, that is the current price of the HG3 QRO. You can order it on the website: preciserf.com/shop/hg3-qro-1-5-kw-stepper-mag-loop-antenna/

If it came with 80m as standard it would be. Price is insane though...

John, Sorry you are not satisfied. A user manual is included with the HG3 and is also downloadable from our website. If you have any other questions, please contact us via our customer support form on the website.

John, We're sorry you are not satisfied. We've never said that the units are waterproof. The enclosures are not meant to be used in weather conditions that would allow water to penetrate the units. We do offer customer support via our website using the customer support form. Happy to answer additional questions if you have them.

That is correct. Another antenna tuner is not needed.

Thank you.

Ok what?

@@lizzyfan1986 Sorry I didn't complete it I want to know if I can run 1.5KW power in FT8 mode

@@bx6abv677 According to user manual, for 30%duty cycle the ma is 800W. If you operate FT8 or RTTY (50% duty cycle) the max would be 450W.

ciao Vincenzo, Ti hanno risposto?

It's on their website

@@lizzyfan1986 link? There is the pro and express, not the QRO

@@lizzyfan1986 Yes, I did see that subsequently. Good luck to them at that price point.

de Howie WA3MCK - The price is fair considering the engineering and quality components used in construction. I shall buy one!

I don't think mentioning their price was done with disrespect. I would agree the $1,200 for a magnetic loop regardless of the quality of the build seems rather High because you still have to add the rotor on and the 80m and 60m and still the question of performance has to be asked. What's the angle of radiation or the take-off angle? How does it compare to a log periodic it's the same altitude? I have an expensive steppir and I can't see a magnetic loop outperforming my steppir. I say this certainly was no disrespect. The inventor is obviously quite a bit of time into this. I did notice an inconsistency in the Q St review and that it talked about how the remote tuner only covered 7-30mhz. What about 80m? No automated remote tuning? I'd really like to see one of these and operation before I spend that kind of money. Reviews on a ham for example don't show the great success that this video might suggest.

@@justanotherguy3850 The manual for this antenna says it will cover 80 metres with an external resonator. But I am fully expecting it to be quite inefficient on that particular band. You may very well need the amplifier to work any SSB on 75 metres.

@@justanotherguy3850 $1200 ! That's an absolute bargain ! for the amount of engineering that went into this. As for the Low bands, you would need a HUGE Loop for that. There is a Ham in Australia that has a 160 through 40 Loop. It is at Least 10 feet across. It is Huge.. I have made several loops. They work great. The difficult part is the implementation of the capacitor and the box to run it easily. Dx Engineering sells Italian Loops that are $3600. They are Home Station Antennas, and these loops more portable. You could probably mount this in a permanent location too. I would be interested in seeing the loop design of this use a Fractal Antenna conductor design, for a permanent placement which has increased frequency capability and reduced size. I am happy this company is building these and especially for QRO..

@@user-ss6zt2mo1l I guess I'm spoiled because I use a steppir. I see the new model has come out and the operator said he can get a pretty good copy of stations if they're an S7 or better. Frankly, that's not good enough for me. I want to be able to dig them out of the dirt. But for some people this may be a very viable option depending on the circumstances or maybe they're going to a Mountaintop or something. I'm certainly not trying to knock the product. I haven't even tried it. I don't think there's anything wrong with the price either. A lot of time energy and money went into developing it and with the small pool of people that might purchase it he needs to make his money back.

Seth, no, the RJ45 is not compatible with media converters. The HG3 uses a proprietary signal between the controller and the tuner. We use it as it's a commonly available electronics part.

Totally agree. You defeat the purpose of the high Q match , something is amiss in the demonstration, if the cap is not flawed and the antenna is away from objects at least 3 feet then you should easily get a match. I have owned several loops including the Precise RF loop and getting a match to near 1 to 1 was always easy. 73 Jim

Correct! You should not use the antenna tuner in the transceiver while tuning the HG1.
