Never knew the difference until I heard it first hand. RM Italy 203P vs the Palomar Skipper is a big difference in SSB quality. Crackly SSB audio coming out of the RM Italy vs the crisp clean audio coming out of the Palomar Skipper.

Too good lol.

Good talking to ya @BC Coyote ! :) Glad to hear ya out there on 37 LSB.

Hello, The other day I got to thinking the SSB delay times were pretty bad on my Palomar Skipper and my Magnum 2000. I still struggle to read schematics or even understand how stuff works, but used a multimeter to see what other capacitor was inline with the capacitor off the SSB switch. It...

I didn't realize it got the mic like that. :/ A shame... I at least recapped the 1 HTX-100, and removed that glue inside the radio. There was some fixes for the radio at the mic audio. Something about removing a ceramic cap, and changing out a capacitor, and using a resistor where you remove...

I have two of them. It seems that one has to basically yell into the microphone to get it to actually modulate. :) Though its younger brother the HTX-10 works great. I may have to bring it back out and try a different mic. (Maybe the one it had was broken.)

My elmer who is SK since 2022 would be proud of you for mentioning that motorized screwdriver antenna. That is what he ran on his mobile setup in his truck and got great results. He ran a Kenwood TS-480HX. I miss talking to him on 2 meters... :/

I fell victim of that today. :D Bought a Cobra 250 amp that is a rebadged Messenger M250. But the deal was too good to pass for $85 + shipping. Apparently it only works on the high setting, and the other 2 settings it doesnt output anything. Looks like the resistors seen some power and look a...

You can do that or just turn it back the other way till you hit your 4 watt deadkey again. :) I would set the AMC to 8 watts when you talk into the mic if you set it at a 2 watt DK. Hell even 6 watts with a 1.5 watt DK would still work for even something like a RM Italy 203 foot warmer.

I ran into that same information that AM Power adjustment is L903. May as well adjust it to lower the AM Power down to where you need it and give it a try.

Good stuff. Either this year or next I was going to Pi-Storm my Amiga 500. I already did it to the Amiga 2000 and man... Talk about sending that old computer 1000 MHz with a Raspberry Pi 3 A+ board lol. Even faster with a Pi 4. No more rendering taking half hour or more per low resolution 3D...

Just make sure you are aware of the damn epoxy filled C64 power supplies. They will take stuff out sooner or later. Better to get a C128 power supply with an adapter or an aftermarket PSU.

Oh man!!! I wish I woulda got a hold of you earlier... Ive yet to have a VIC-20 lol... All is well...

I have been eyeballing the tweezer ones mainly to remove SMD caps off old game consoles like the Super NES or the 1990s computer boards like the Commodore Amiga or Macintosh computers.
