    MFJ-815D Cross Needle Meter??

    Them crossed needle meters make my head hurt looking at them. Eyes try to follow both needles. Yes, there was a little bit of reflected power involved. :)

    Radio signals from Deep space received!

    It does bear a striking resemblance to the "Sith Punk".

    Adjusting SWR with amp

    Put the SWR meter in place of the amplifier and check/set SWR. Once you have it set then reinstall amp. If SWR goes up with the amp inline (but not turned on) some internal tuning to the amp will need to be done. Changing jumper lengths does not do anything but fool the meter. You can put...

    Stryker sr94hpc

    That fits you then........little, lacking power, and doesn't appeal to everyone.

    Yeasu 101e transmiting on all 11 meter channels at same time.

    Some people spend big money on amps to do this very thing. :)

    A Very Rare Find...

    You can find them on fleabay also. They have a lot of old Maco parts and such. Not sure if they have any parts for a Wawasee amp as that factory closed long before Maco did. Of course a lot of them will interchange. The JB 700's I have worked on also had one tube driving three, instead of...

    A Very Rare Find...

    The amp was made by Wawasee, not Maco. Those are nice amps as long as they are working. There were a lot of problems with the way they were wired, grid, filament, hv, wireing ran all over one another. HV seeping out of the wires getting into the bias was the main problem. I've worked on...

    looking for help with 1.5KW Super Scout questions

    The early Super Scouts were manufactured by SOS Electronics in Memphis, TN. Later models were made by several different people. A couple of them in Mississippi, one in Tennessee, one in Kentucky. Early versions were gray with a "snowflake" pattern on the cover. Later ones were a...

    Eagle 500 squeals on the ssb side

    Change the diodes and make a post as to what happened if anything. I wouldn't think it the amp is working good on AM that it would cause a problem on SSB but I ain't working with good tools for the most part. I am assuming (bad sometimes) that you have replaced the power supply caps also? One...

    Eagle 500 squeals on the ssb side

    Check all the grounds, especially tube sockets. Can you turn the mike gain down and make it go away? Does it do it in both low and high power. Also make sure the ALC is not turned wide open in the radio. Squeals can be boogers at times to find. Figure when all is said and done it'll be a...

    Realistic TRC-52 23 channel is it worth anything?

    The first "new" mobile radio I bought was a TRC 52. It gave me many years of trouble free service and would talk with the more expensive radios of the time. It had all the controls that anyone would want and with the audio adjusted to 100% was loud and clear.

    M107 seen from space !

    That would probably be a problem. It's hard to see a 102" whip on a bathroom vent pipe.:w00t: I hope to have my 7 back up by the end of summer. You still won't be able to see it I don't figure cause it will be vertical. They are great antennas. Keep on showing what you got.......be proud...

    M107 seen from space !

    That's right!! If you are jealous...just say so, don't babble out useless drival. The man has a reason to be proud and show his stuff off, not to be nit-picked to death on where the photo was taken. How about everyone that is doing this show a photo from "space" of YOUR antenna the same way...
