Hello, Will this send rf signals or do you need the powerblaster? What do you think?

It sends RF signals and infra-red signals. The Power Blaster receives the RF signals and converts them to infra-red for the devices you hope to control. Those devices are controlled by IR, not RF, therefore you need the Power Blaster to control devices that are not in the IR line of sight from the RF-20.

The literature says that it sends rf signals, but I couldn't make it work right where I needed rf. I ended up using it in a different room where I didn't need rf signals.

As far as I recall, the transceiver is not RF based so I don't think that you will have problems.

Yes, it has RF input/output. If you have more questions, do what I did and check the PDF version of the manual here: http://ec1.images-amazon.com/media/i3d/01/A/man-migrate/MANUAL000065138.pdf

The antenna has a "reverse RP" connector that matches the removable antennas on most equipment such as routers, repeaters, amplifiers and the like. This device is passive, so it does not need any power supply. The only connection is the RF Coax connection. Adding a splitter may be possible, but you would have to work out things like correct impedance matching, as well as preventing the overload of one device on the splitter while it was receiving, while the other device on the splitter was transmitting. Adding a splitter should be done only by someone with expertise in handling RF signalling devices. On the other hand, using this antenna with just one device is very easy and almost foolproof.

Yes you can use CHIRP. It supports the radio also beofeng software works as well. Dont forget to install the USB cable driver software.

Should work fine but check your receiver by going to remote setup and see if it will toggle between ir and rf. If so, just follow the on screen instructions.

The LX2 model includes an RF dongle, the LX1 does not. RF is supposed to be a better signal than IR.

this will not work, you need a powered converter, they sell them on here for like $30. i needed to do the same thing, got this, it didnt work, got a powered converter and it did. it will not convert the signal on its own, needs power!

Yeah, you need two and two adaptors. I'd look for a better antenna setup if I were you. I have this and it really didn't do much at all (I'm a ham radio operator too, so I know what a 9 dBi boost does...) It might be fairly cheap and easy, but is not much gain. a planar setup with booster would be light years better.

If you want to have a splitter between the preamp and the power inserted, you need to use a "power passing" splitter. I used this one from Amazon Eagle Aspen 500303 P1003ap+ 1000 Mhz Splitter (3 Way) You may choose a different one depending on the number of connections you need at the splitter.

There should be no problem with powering either a VHF or UHF transceiver. (or a CB either!)

Does not need power inserter but does need b-band converter for full HD reception

No, only to replace battery. Rubber isn't something that would interfere with a rf signal. Do follow specific instructions how to use it. Great tool.

That's worth a call to BRK/1st Alert. Since the interconnect I've wire runs from unit to unit, the battery-powered units should be able to send the signal, but I don't know for sure.

our's goes through a factory installed amp. with the amp, it must be on for even the original antennae to work. the coax is wired that way but i don't see why the new antennae wouldn't work without an amp. either way the rvw- was a good buy for us.

Receiving a signal will neither the need to measure "swr's" or power since all the activity on your antenna is incoming. Here is a good article from "Radio Reference" about random length long wire antennas. This site is a great reference for anything radio. Good luck and happy listening. http://forums.radioreference.com/hf-mw-lw-general-discussion/176209-longwire-shortwave-antenna-help.html

You shouldn't. First and foremost, ensure that your computer has the necessary power to run the program. RF7 is pretty fast moving, and needs a fair sized graphics card. If that criteria is met, charge your radio battery, leave the power switch OFF, plug the supplied interface cable in and rock out.
