I forgot about that... I thought they released a patch for the swr in the last software. 73 Jeff

I run a AT-200 Pro with a CRT 9900V4 on 10-12 with no issues, you tuner should handle 15 with a little reduced efficiency. 73 Jeff

By trial and error. One issue is that HG uses the same lot number for everything, crusher has reported at least 3 different tunes. It's not like the Toshiba transistors that you could roast half of a 16 transistor amp, replace the dead ones and go on ..... Toshiba had lots time to perfect the...

When the band is long, it's long. I often have difficulty working Nevada , Idaho and Oregon, and Southern California is often a challenge as well. I need "short skip" conditions to effectively work those places. Phil in Nevada ( he's now over on the coast) was a rare contact for me, even when we...

Interesting thing my brother sent me this morning. Anyone playing with this? 73 Jeff

I don't know, I have zero experience with these antennas, I know he was running one on his jeep, that was the one posted on YouTube. This is work in progress, if I hear more I will update. 73 Jeff

Just for information, here is John's latest DDRR like the one on his Jeep in his video. This one is square, not round, he has said that it makes no difference between round and square. 73 Jeff

This is one of many vertical transformer amps built that has a simple bias on the board that has been disabled. If you look at the input you will see a choke from the top of the input transformer to ground, effectively killing the bias. This was done because when building them they found that...

I used to live in the bottom of a little valley, It was a challenge to work over the hill to the west but not too bad to the east. Sounds like a good idea, I hear a shot of good scotch helps warm the bones.... 73 Jeff

@unit_399 Jim, do you have Steve's contact info? 73 Jeff

It's been good the last few days, 29.600 has been active on simplex and plenty of stations from 28.3-28.5 Actually this cycle has been a lot of fun, I have made more 12 m contacts from the mobile than I ever have before, I think the recent 10/12 meter rigs offered may have helped that segment...

my favorite place to find tubes was tv repair shops..... TV repair shop? Damn am I that old? 73 Jeff

My last two emails to Lou have gone unanswered. He is a member here, hasn't answered Direct messages for sometime. Hope he's ok as well. 73 Jeff

What are you driving the amp with, what radio?

Ken Yager shared this photo this morning. Camping on the wall above Yosemite valley. What a view.....

So this popped up today in my email from my brother. A single transistor amp with no transformers, tuned input/output. Enlarge the image, note Telstar on the edge. 73 Jeff

Is this the only radio that you have? So you might be able to "touch up" Modulation a little, I don't think you're going to be able to make a drastic improvement but here you go( found on the web) I don't recommend removing/ clipping modulation components, Adjust them. Go slow, take your time...
