I spent all of the day Saturday and most of Sunday getting my station back together. Had to refinish the top of my desk with polyurethane enamel on Friday. Slow to dry. Sunday started setting things back up, but taking longer that I thought. Gonna hit it again this morning. Hopefully one the air...

FB50 - Does your rig interfere with something (or everything) in your neighbors house ?? That can be fixed easily enough. Tell us specifically what the problem is. I'm certain there are a lot of people here who can help. 73 - J.J. 399

I've got a good location near the top of a mountain (5600 Ft.) I have a clear shot in all directions except South, where the actual mountain top is (about 40 meters higher). So talking to stations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Bolivia, etc., isn't happening for me. It's better since I got my...

I was only joking.:LOL::LOL:(y)

The only part of your post that I liked was the last sentence. Sorry about you losing your 5555N2. Let's hope that some ANYTONE software guy didn't add something to the firmware to cause it to conk out. Planned Obsolescence ?? I hope that it comes back to life, Sean. 73. J.J.

I'm getting used to my Quad6Pro. At first, the receive sucked (noisy, 3-5 S units). But after cranking down the RF Gain a tad, and installing ferrite cores on every electrical/coax cord in my station, The noise is gone. I loved my trusty 139XLR, but the Q6PRO has so many more features and more...

I will be on 37LSB from 11Am (off and on). I will be monitoring all day , so give me a shout-out and I'll pick up the mike. Been a while since I tried some DXing. Busy busy at the farm. You all stay safe from the big wave that supposed to be coming. 73. J.J. 399

Must not be selling very well if he has to recruit a new member to hustle his "NOS". J.J. 399

I have an early A99 with GPK. I had my best results with a steel whip on top. Especially receive. Top section broke in a storm but repaired it. Luz uses it for her base. Better than the Starduster she was running. J J 399

Here;s what I could find on toko IF transformers. Hope it helps. - J.J. 399

Never a dull moment here too, FB. I will be on the air around 11AM EST today on 37LSB. DX has picked up a lot the past two days, and I hope it continues to get stronger. If you WDX guys want to try and hook up Call for me on 27.445 LSB. I'll monitor that freq. 73 - J.J. 399

Where did you drive to and back ??

I have a Anytone Quad6Pro, that I bought for my mobile. I was forced to put it into service as my base when my Cobra 139XLR's receiver went haywire. The Q6Pro is a great performer, but I HATE the tiny pushbuttons. I wish Anytone would wise up and produce an ARES II hybrid with traditional...

Onelasttime - I asked CHAT GPT and here is its response: Here’s a detailed comparison of the Radioddity QT60‑Pro (also known as AT‑5555N II short version) vs Stryker SR‑955HPC based on specs, features, and user feedback: Tech Specs & Performance Radioddity QT60‑Pro / Anytone 5555N II (short)...

Yes , jeff. We are on Eastern Standard Time year-round. Or as we call it Colombian Standard time. LOL. 73 right back at ya. J.J.

I want to echo what BC Coyote said in his posts. DX to S. America was strong from 3:30 to 5pm when I shut down. Again, everybody I talked with said that I was the only station they could hear. But on my end it was an endless pileup of stations callling me. I made 13 contacts: Louisanna, Texas...

Don't give so quick. I can hear some stations in the distance and that means the DX will start picking up. Keep listening . 73. J.J.399

I checked KEN'S ELECTRONICS and he lists the service manual. owner's manual, and schematic for the GT-7C. Copies available for $10 bucks. Ken’s Electronics: OMS‑Robyn GT7C Owners Manual + Schematic Service Manual Best that I can do on this rig. J.J. 399

This is a VERY rare radio. And, of course, hardly any info available on it. The 40 Channel version of this chassis is the GT-410B, and its info is in Sam's CB-191. Main difference is the 7C is crystal controlled, and the 410B is PLL. The rest is not exactly the same, but close enough for...

I'll be there. Usually don't have much traffic mid-day, but I will give it a shot. 73 Amigo. J.J. 399
