Should be the MB8719, do you have the pin info for this pll? If not, I can send you what I have. edit: Also, make sure the reference 10.240 is reaching and you have something (1.43-1.87MhZ) coming from the vco downmix for the phase detector input. If those are okay, check the truth chart and...

Glad it made it, do you have a link to where you bought it? That price point is hard to argue.

That's awesome! I intend to put my beam on the vertical side soon. Then maybe I can reach you from the home 20. I find it difficult to work Memphis from home, but I'll try for you again next trip in the mobile for sure. 73s!

I do, and I spoke to you briefly while I was commuting from a job Thursday. Hello again!

Off topic, hey Smoke check, are you around Memphis, TN?

LC, I don't know how you do it, but I sure thank you.

Hey J.J. I hope you are well. I've found an auction with all the pots for a 2kgtl, but $40+ is too much, I just want the 1 pot. I was hoping they still made them like that, but most of what I'm seeing is log or stereo pots. I see what I'm looking for elsewhere, but the values are wrong. I don't...

Has anyone a source for above? Need one for a dx959, changing from a single 1k pot clarifier after expanding slide range. Thanks!

I do, but some only replace them if failed. They dont come in a recap kit so you will need to order them. As I understand, when tantalums were in their infancy, they were prone to failure due to manufacturing processes and electrolytic composition. I don't know what years that timeframe...

I check mating surfaces with a flat edge or razors edge (hey yo!). A thick pane of glass, some fine grit sandpaper assortment and elbow grease can get you a mirror finish, perfectly flat. That's how I deck processors and heatsinks. A small drop of thermal compound will cover a large area of...

Desire to learn, humility, modesty and some thick skin. These boys 'round here CAN be brutal, but that's usually the exception and not the rule. It's like a big family, assuming you can get invited to the reunion.

I don't seem to hear Columbia for some reason but Everytime I swing the beam around I stop on your azimuth and call out on the usual channels. I'm still trying.

I followed your link, saw it offered a $6 off coupon. I just bought one. (I'm a sucker for cheap anything) ((I need help)) I will let you know what I think of it.

I bought the PDF direct from Sam's some years ago.. looks like Brandon has you covered tho. If what you need isn't in there, I can upload the PDF for that radio. edit: I had 2 copies, the first they sent was too dark so I asked them to rescan the document and they obliged. I've included both.
