Troy, is hell of a nice guy. he is great machinist as well, but the ridiculous claims on some of the wild designs such as that "mobile flatside" are just absurd. I agree with ASW, his mounts are great all made from 6061(3) and well machined. His traditional antenna designs work fine, well built...

Wanted to show Y'all our typical comp box I built over holidays at the Camp. Only Non comp thing is this has relay, which pure comp would be transmit only PA. Thought you guys would appreciate diff between the "basic" box pics I posted recently and this one I built for myself. This box is in...

HEY STD, hope your doing well also. I am in NC now, Raleigh area. The red suburban w 2 20s still at the shop , still in the "family" so to speak . I will tell Dave you said wassup, I will see him after new year. I need his VNA to build an antenna for the house here. If we meet at shop I promise...

Back around 92' dave and i riveted over 1000 feet of chicken wire rolls on underside of my high top ford conversion van. We used 2 pucks on top . I never lost a 500z class anywhere with it, In fact I wont Augusta 1 alt class where I beat guys w 3s and 6s . So that works but was about 100 man...

Yep, many of them small Tets ive seen around over the years would oscillate and latch like a SOB. We always called them 250s popcorn tubes anyways. Most dudes don't get high gain= very low drive ..

Shadetree, typically when that combiner resistor fails its due to output issue or SWR. Considering that you antenna SWR is likely fine, I would look into not replacing the 2w with a 5w resistor , but more likely your issue is that ceramic disc capacitor failed creating a matching issue on...

we actually made up the first batches with same metal guy dave used in late80s. Not sure what Chris and Dave will decide on going forward . Worth a shot to reach out to Chris see if hell sell ya a case. Obviously, they are not from Tony , nor would he sell them as other suggested.

Yes davemaeamps is Our Chris' site hes building now. To be fair that is a gold tone case so I can see the confusion. I didn't say were weren't going back to gold albeit not the bright gold of old days. rest assured those of us who are build at shop get whatever is laying around and build on...

Yea CCM was a trooper he got to every break to represent , Mule didn't want to go, I worked on wall Street so couldn't go and Dennis drove everywhere . was a lot of fun the breaks from mid 80s to early 2000s..

This is our current 5 pill, I built few weeks ago when at the Shop. As stated, Many changes since 97..lol

That must have come from Cherry popper Chris", we haven't used gold for about 10 years and we don't silk screen our amps anymore at Dm. Glad your happy with your amp.

Hi Jeff, hope your doing well. Concrete dosen't hang around shop much anymore , he typically runs 75m at nights and racing his cars nowadays. I agree with you that when Dave built the Comp" amplifier it was meant to be just that , we never intended for anyone to use on SSB , anyone who requested...

could be either, joe used to come to our shop to build and learned how to build THAT current box very well. Joe went and did his own thing( wont open that can here) . Truth be told a 97 box from joe was very likely almost built, tuned in same manner as if it came out of the Camp as we call it...

I'm resending the year in which I recall hearing about a guy named Dave who built amplifiers labeled Dave Made. After thinking about it seriously it could've been between 1982 and 1985. It was on channel 15. It was Artie Windjammer in a QSO about Dave and the quality amplifiers he built. I'm...

Yes everything is for sale w Pete,lol..I may speak with ya but wont be local GW, Im down in Raleigh Area now, left Ny area when I went away. Be well !!, sorry for thread hijack.
