    President Lincoln 2+ AM/FM no Modulation

    Use AF signal generator and scope and trace it from mic socket backwards. You'll find it within minutes. My bet is cold solder joint at the mic socket or (and) cracked copper foil. Use DMM to check continuity. Mike

    Stryker sr655 v2 NPC modification

    I doubt they changed that part of circuit in v2. So mod from regular 655 will work. Mike

    SWR before linear

    Rebuilding amp? That Texas Star you have was designed by complete idiot with zero RF circuits knowledge. Get better amp and get rid of that crap. Mike

    SWR before linear

    So it is shitty amp with bad tuned input circuit. Output probably too. Junk amp. Mike

    testing 10m antennas with repeatable results

    To test RX put small signal generator a kilometer away or so. (TinySA) To test TX use field strength meter, TinySA or similar. Mike

    SCU have nothing to do with SWR. Check your antenna system

    Favorite QRP rigs

    My first and only QRP rig: IC-705. Brilliant technology. Only thing that annoys me is connecting speakerphone. Why no regular mic socket? Mike
