Due to particular interest on 75 Meter AM am lookin' for a built (well built-not superbowl box) amplifier w/ a pair of 4-1000's or something in the ball park... Step-start switch, excessive grid shut-off etc... something that is well built, not slapped together with minimal effort and sold...

I was wondering if anyone could tell me of a ALC modification for allowing the Icom 718 to swing forward with modulation rather than the ALC circuit clipping the power before decent modulation is achieved? I have pulled out the service manual but before clipping/removing any part I thought I...

Just picked up a MINT Yaesu FT 2100b and man what a little beauty.... Sure blows those sweep tube amps I'd been running right out of the water... I run exclusively AM with this particular Amp since I have had it... Those 572 B's really do a fine job... Much more reliable thus far than the KLV...

On my 2950DX I have detected a slight carrier not even detectable by a good watt meter... VR7 has been adjusted for minimum Spurious emission... Question now is... Is the carrier due to a Biasing problem... The radio sounds great on SSB ... But would like to get rid of the little bit of...

After much discussion on High Power Solid state equipment... I always go back to this amp and wonder if anyone has used one... They look like their built like a tank I'll tell ya... QRO 2500 ... One Nice Tube Amp...

Within the next 5 days I may have a potential new toy on the way and was wondering if anyone knew the conversion for 11 meters.. Whether it was just a crystal insert OR if there was something else that more directly needed to be done. Thanks much.

Anyone know the conversion for this band... Probably a simple snip of a wire or something... Thanks.

Now here's an amp :D One of the Big Boys

Been looking at adding one of these to the farm and was wondering if anyone had used one/heard one and how they worked... Seems it should put out one heckuva signal....

Hi All, Dig around long enough and the answers come. I found a nice little link for those interested... And maybe a link that will save on those tubes of yours at the same time, whether they be Tubes in a KLV or an Ameritron or whatever else you may have. Here's the link: Amp Tube Tune Up...

The Do's,Dont's,and Whys of correct tube handling

Hi All, Well after the growing pains the KLV 1000 has been very, very good to me... Alot was learned and if I had to re do it again knowing what I know now, I most certainly would re-order the KLV 1000 with some good tubes. I replaced the weak Yugoslavian EL-519 Tubes... These tubes are...

Well H&Y did as they said they would... The KLV is on the shelf right now on Stand-by ... I have used it quite extensively the last few days... So far it is holding together and is quite nice. Here is what I learned from talking to Techs, Forum members and calling their tech support and...

If you ever need to Align/Adjust this radio- Here is 2 Helpful Links... I could have used these last week ... Alignment/Adjustments Schematic for POT Adjustment

I finally called another Service Rep today... And the Gentleman was very pleasant on the phone. I told that the Amp had been shipped with a busted tube and that the Box it was shipped in, the outer one, looked like someone had rolled it down the stairs to Fed-Ex... They said they would get a...

Well I can't say I wasn't warned... The KLV 1000 turned into a total flop... Now it's at the point of little or no help. Started out with one bad tube and escalated from there... We had it limping along for a couple days, than it took a crap... Went south... I'm at the point I have had...

Ok... I havn't seen a post anywhere on these... I was just wondering if anyone had one or had the scoop on them... I was looking at them today in the h&y Book... But that is the first I have seen of them.

Just wondering if there was a way to make the 11 Meter band useful on this little radio...

http://www.vacuumtubes.net/ This place is currently $7.00 dollars a tube cheaper than the next best price I was looking at... When I have to order 5 tubes- $35.00 dollars savings... You bet I am going to try them.
