I just purchased the AH8000 Discone for my Icom R-8500 Receiver.
I removed my Comet DS150S Discone and installed the AH-8000 in its place. (60’ mast above ground).
Went from a good +40dB (ds150s) to a an extremely poor 4dB (ah8000) on all local stations.
And yes I used the supplied 5D-2V cable. I also tried it with my RG/8-U coax.... same difference.
What is this all about ???
