    Acom 1000 Keying Question

    Thanks for all the advice! I really like Nomad's keying relay. I do have one of those big black radios. LOL I can read and read but sometimes it just helps to ask and I did learn. You all never disappoint. 73

    Acom 1000 Keying Question

    I've been running a used Acom 1000 with my Yaesu HF rig using a DIN to RCA keying cable. Then I got to thinking about using my Stryker 955 or my Anytone Q6 with the amp on 10 meters. So using the 10 meter radios, could I key the Acom using a foot switch and a RCA cable to the amp relay input...

    Palomar 600

    I hope you all don't think I'm hijacking the thread, but I'm having issues with one of the amps. Might help OP as well. Mine amp is a 600 and I just had my Galaxy 88HL's dead key matched up to the amp on the low power setting. I think that radio swings about 20 watts. On the bench, I was...

    WTB... Push Button for Galaxy DX-88HL

    I'm in need of one chrome button for a clean Galaxy DX-88HL radio I recently picked up. Not the switch, just the button. I believe the part number is PT2100020A. A sure source for one of these buttons would be helpful. My searches have turned up nothing. 73's Uneasy

    Cobra 2000 Doesn't Like My Amp

    I think you are right. Even though I can now run the amp on high, I could always use more headroom on the power supply.

    Cobra 2000 Doesn't Like My Amp

    Nomad you got me on the right path. I put a new radio in and I assume it had something to do with the last thing I did. Well it sort of was. I moved some cables around. Having experience in sound reinforcement I should have thought about cables. I took the jumper out going to my meters and ran...

    Cobra 2000 Doesn't Like My Amp

    I just picked up a nice talking Cobra 2000. I have been using an older Cobra 139XLR and my trusty RCI 2980 with a Boomer/Palomar type 600 5 pill amp. My tech was able to match the 139XLR to the amp and it was getting about 500 watts on SSB. Amp worked fine with the 2980 as well. I put the Cobra...

    Old School Advice

    Thanks for the reply and link Nomad. Your logic makes sense. The 142 I got from an estate auction. There were three 142's in the estate. I decided to go after the newer one. It's a roll of the dice because like you said there is no odometer.
