Do you think 6 digits of a frequency counter is sufficient to align am and sideband frequencies?

Has anyone ever used this scope? Would this be a good beginner unit?

Do you know how many amp power supply is needed for the CarlBuilt?

It’s going on the base station so size is not an issue :)

Thanks for all the information on the amps. I really do appreciate it. I’m just getting back into the radio world after 40 years. Amps are new to me so I’m doing my best to understand what I need to do before making bad decisions. I’ve already bought a pair of kl 203’s overdriven them ...

Yes that is in my budget. Didn’t see that one thank you.

Very pricey!

Ok I’ll look into those! Thanks for the info!

I’ll be driving it with a galaxy dx2547 that dead keys 2 watts and swings 25 I think that should be ok not to blow it up! It seems the kl703 needs more amps then the TS.... lm still on the fence....

If you have a guy that will build me a 500 watt amp for $450 hook me up!

The 2 amps mentioned are about $450 that’s the budget.

I’m considering buying an amp for my base station. I’m looking at the Texas Star dx 500v and the RM Italy kl 703 I can’t decide the Texas with DEI or HG transistors or go with a mosfit amp like the RM Any input is appreciated!

With dk turned down and amp on I’m getting 30 watts dk and 90 on the swing. Amp is not getting hot I do have a fan mounted on top of the amp. We will see what happens....

As of now both of my Galaxy radios are turned down to about 2 watts output on the high and a 1/2 watt on low

I have no clue what that is.....
