Did replacing the tube bring down the input impedance? hopefully it is ok to put this link to tubes, if not please delete. https://www.ebay.com/itm/318323625791?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5336136228&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1

nice, might you have picture of the 3cx400A and the circuitry around it?

enjoy the hobby

for sideband: i want a clear natural voice to come through as opposed to loudness. so overdriving the radio makes the signal distorted and difficult to understand especially when conditions are in and out. therefore, as mentioned before proper adjustment of the mic gain is necessary and being...

thanks. radio port is coax from cb radio cb is output to the cb antenna car antenna connection i likely would not use myself once keyed up rotate the tuning knob slowly until you have adjusted for the brightest lamp indication. Was this a general question on how the device operates, have you...

what does the back panel look like? i take it there is no manual

roger that, i thought sirio claimed a high rating but it's the years of abuse that adds up and keeps us working the hobby! best of luck

good lord, i think 120 mph is like a cat 3 hurricane. there will be serious structural loading and of course possibility of flying debris. at this point, survival of the antenna depends as much on the mount and tower as the antenna itself being engineered well enough to handle the event. i...

the clips have to be strong weatherproof and non reactive so as not to detune antenna. uv resistant nylon perhaps the best idea comes to mind but won't last forever. heavy duty zip ties, a p clamp of said material. maybe something adapted from marine hardware is a possibility as well. best...

this is sad news about our silent key brother, he was a great contributor of information to this forum and I really enjoyed making contact with 399. If you would like to honor JJ, you could dedicate a day of operating to him and note it in your log or qsl's.

oh and i absolutely like saving old antennas.

tokin where are you from?, as in country, just wondering. i don't make it around much so sorry if you have already mentioned it here. i'm guessing a 1/2 wave vertical dipole with ground radials.

it should be a good superbowl, depending on which Chiefs team comes out to play.

Hey Marconi: We are sad that you have been away for a while and hope that you can return as soon as you are better. Get well and godspeed to you sir. In the mean time get some rest and plenty of sleep!
