I’m saddened to read your plan to abandon the 201. I was watching and hoping to see it work. I had one w/the same goal that got the better of me around 2010. I still have the outer case/cage-type that the chassis slides into for anyone (free) to pick-up (Bronx). My letting-go was...

Such vigilance

Playing w/ it today some cover off. The auto-cool down when nozzle placed into cradle is nice (case mounted and free-standing). I measured temps on the heatsinks on pcb and will add a small 5020 cooling fan to be safe. Quieter than I thought it would be.

IDK it's all new to me. The Co-Pilot reply was surprising and yesterday I forgot to post it. Attached below. The C-Pilot reply about component selection was impressive. Thank you, Brandon on the SMT version diode availability point. I'm still learning and acquiring what I need to do SMT...

I’m preparing to attempt a repair on an Alinco DX-70T that needs SMT diodes replaced on the Band Pass Filter boards. There are 5 boards, one for each HF band and each board has a few SMT diodes on it. Over the past several months, I’ve been gathering Hot Air & De-Soldering equip. This is all...

coincidence, I ordered same unit yesterday

Silent Key gravesites? I know a few.

I was surprised at how complete the response was. No ads or product placement whatsoever, and the calculations I never asked for. The reply even had some personality….which prompted me to wonder How was that even possible, was there a Ham who programmed those remarks about my tube choice years...

I'm impressed at the information Co-Pilot replied with 6 pages, in seconds. I'd never used Pilot for radio stuff. I began with an HVPS query because the online Calculators had too many adds. Amp design by Pilot?, IDK what's next? neil, NYC

I wondered that too and I look forward to a good Answer. You're writing about the Striker radio, right? The mod adds 2 controls to the radio, I saw several YT vids on it. Seemed like a standard mod the shop does.
