Hello all
I’ve just acquired a sirio 827 one question I have though
Do I have to use the radials or can I just leave it without?

designed to have radials so Id say it will hamper performance without them.

Re: Sirio 827
the radials on the 827 are quite long and have a tendency to vibrate. you can get a reinforcement ring

Re: Sirio 827
Thanks for all your replies, I’m having an absolute mare tuning it, I’ve set the tuning whip at 400mm which is 27.185mhz but my swr is 3, do I need to reduce or increase its length?

Re: Sirio 827
No idea. If SWR grows along with ch number antenna is too long.
But the most important question is: where is the resonance? SWR is less important.
