I notice my McKinley doesn't like the cold either just like the Galaxies. It has to warm up to get on Frequency.

Which President radio, is it the McKinley ?

And what your saying is the KL 200P might be a little better amp for talking 10 meter radio. I think I heard that somewhere else along the line in my exploration.

Thank you, so what I get out of this is my first decision to buy the kl 200P because it was a better build wasn't totally wrong,but I later bought a 2nd amp and it was a KL 203P so I have both and I'll probably will never know the difference because I'm not technical enough ! LOL So let me...

So which final is considered better the sd1446 or the RM3 mosfet and why? For the sake of learning !

Your right the display should have been ironed out and the menu I was never crazy about. But for a bare bones radio if that's all you want it's not a bad radio. Not everyone wants the extra channels.

This subject came out in another thread and I often wondered what makes them different and why do more people buy the 203 P ? Back in the beginning when I went to buy my first amp with my uneducated thinking I chose the 200 P because I thought it must be a little better built to raise the...

Glad to see someone else bought a KL 200 because the KL 203 seems to get all the mention. My 980 and KL 200 P was the first combo that got me talking some skip because they claimed the KL could handle the 980 because it put out less than 4 watts. That was many radios ago. ! LOL

I'm surprised you gave that 980 a chance. I figured you for a different radio. Mine still works OK but I was never thrilled with visibility in the mobile enviroment.

I've been using a West Mountain Radio Processor that I'm happy with for noise reduction but they aren't cheap. But then again nothing about this hobby is Cheap ! LOL

Sorry Hawkeye no I can't recommend but I was considering Shottky one time to improve my receive on my DX2547 and picked up the Germanium info in another forum but never got around to modifying the radio. You probably should ask Nomadradio or others into Modding and repair. Best of luck to you...

I have to laugh the solar site said 10-12 meter was suppose to be poor today but it is almost 9:00 PM & I can hear my Lincoln II+ upstairs barking out some good sounding DX which is unusual for this time of night. I guess I'll just keep Rolling with the Flow !

I heard somewhere that germanium diodes were better than Schottkey but I'm no expert by any means.

LOL Believe me bud I know what your talking about. Don't feel alone. I feel like a Dinosaur ! Rifle season for deer ended yesterday and I felt like the only Fool out there. Times have changed !

And why is it that the Big Strappers seem to be Long Winded also ! LOL I try to be polite and wait for a opening but some are motor mouths.
