    Good info about grounding.

    I have a friend who lives a few miles away and he had his Shack completely grounded as per the ARRL handbook. His system took a direct hit ruined 2 radios. Basically welded the two coax connectors onto the backs of the radios. Evaporated the antenna that took the hit. There are photos all over...

    understanding the A99,, the 1/2 wave over 1/4 wave bit

    I have used an Antron 99. The actual original Antron 99 since the 80s. Same one. I talked to Japan, Australia, South America, Europe, Etc. From the Mojave Desert. Any antenna out there that is so-called better than this Antron 99 is not that much better. If I paid $200 more for another antenna...

    Good info about grounding.

    Here's what I do currently (pun intended). I only had two lightning arrestors on hand, and didn't have the cash to buy a bunch more. So only the top two have lightning arrestors on them because they're my most expensive radios. I'm in a low lightning area. Between 5 to10 events a year. So I...

    Turner Plus Three and SideKick parts

    I still haven't got back to my Turner sidekick 100. I've been working on other things. As soon as I know if that mic elements any good or not I'll let you know.

    Newest addition to my station

    I would take the knobs off and clean up the faceplate and Purdy the whole thing up again. Very nice score! Love that eagle too!

    RCA CO-PILOT 14T305

    Yeah. They're not really worth that kind of work. Unless I really like them and I'm keeping them myself.

    RCA CO-PILOT 14T305

    Well. So far the microphone is a little bit of a problem. Channel up and down buttons only work intermittently with a lot of pressing involved. Also so far, no sound from speaker or external speaker that I plugged in. A little bit of scratch in there though so I'm hopeful on that. Took the mic...

    RCA CO-PILOT 14T305

    Only if it doesn't function. Still haven't tested this thing out. I just got the power connector soldered in. I can't solder a 12 pin plug anyway. I don't think the owner wants to go that far either.

    RCA CO-PILOT 14T305

    So far I'm just putting a power connector in this radio and then testing it. This is just something I noticed. If this microphone ever goes bad the owner is screwed! You can't change the channel, the volume, or the squelch on this thing without the microphone. But they put a knob on the front...

    What electronics have YOU fixed lately?

    President Regency 400 radio. Galaxy 200 amp. Started on a Turner Sidekick 100. It's been sidelined for now though until I get some parts money, and get the refrigerator fixed. My Mom's doorbell. A pinwheel windvane in her garden (JB Weld). Getting ready to start on an RCA Co-Pilot 14T-305 radio...
