    Various Radios 10m and Amateur HF For Sale

    I know that the 98VHP is the one that will go first. Seems like that is the one most people want that can't be bought anymore.

    Get your hands on a spectrum analyzer and have a look at the spectral purity. At that point, we should discuss it. Since we are talking about an unknown quantity, perhaps it is your other super high power radios that are dirty, that your speakers like. Maybe because your RF energy is going to...

    I tested QT-40 and QT-60 for spurious. Both were well within acceptable FCC limits.

    RFI into computer speakers, does not mean the TX is spurious. It means your speakers are susceptible to RFI, due to rectification. Without a spectrum analyzer, you can't claim the TX is spurious.

    Various Radios 10m and Amateur HF For Sale

    I have several radios that are either on consignment or belong to me for sale. All have been checked out or restored/aligned by me here. Shipping is not included in the price, photos upon request. All are in exceptional condition and never used mobile. Stryker: SR-955HPC V1 w/box, bracket, mic...

    Anytone Ares 2

    I did this months ago and discussed it here. I also tried the 68pF cap at that time, which is intended to match the new "upgraded" devices used to increase power. It did diddly squat. I am going to do the same mods to the 5555N2 when I get around to it. I am curious as to what that sucker will do.

    I have 50+ watts from my Ares II. But....I modded the PA.

    It does nothing.

    I spilled the beans on here a while back. The 68pF is nothing new either. It is a mod that was used by Stryker, that doesn't really do much of anything.

    RTTY and CW using computer hookup issue

    I mentioned my issue with the plug n poop, thinking maybe there is a similar issue going on here.

    RTTY and CW using computer hookup issue

    I had a problem with my Icom transceivers keying the rigblaster plug n play. Their solution was to use the PTT from the 13 pin DIN connector, which was not possible, as I use that to key an amplifier. I got into it with them and they are full of it. I think my solution was to modify the circuit...

    Don't be afraid of ladderline

    I mentioned in this thread I have a doublet with transmatch, feeding 450 ohm balanced line, using the 1:1 internal balun in one of my setup configurations. It is great.... no headaches and just does what it is supposed to.

    Don't be afraid of ladderline

    I use a doublet with ATR-30 as well. However, I rewound the crappy balun with coax. I tested the as built balun as trash. The coax windings were a huge improvement. When I am not using the internal balun with the ATR-30, I use a 1:1 current balun inside between the transmatch of the day and the...

    Don't be afraid of ladderline

    What is the antenna feedpoint impedance? That theory works only if you are imposing a 450 Ohm constant at the feedpoint.
