This reminds me of what my Dad said when I came home with a brand new Boss 429 He took his pipe out of his mouth he said rev that thing up again so took it up to about 4 grand and let settle down he looked at me and "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU NEED WITH THAT MUCH POWER". I said the same reason you...

Maybe you are experiencing something completely different like harmonics that are rampant this would make it impossible. Are testing with just the radio or at high power Try? Try running coax direct from the radio to the antenna or use an analyzer and short length of coax and maybe you will see...

Well, I walked in took the test for Tech. Walked out with my license and never once studied for it. So on a dare, I'm going to take the General the same way and see what happens. The difference is I have been repairing ham gear and other radios for 50 years I don't remember ever asking anyone a...

I'm not unhappy with the Rigol at all but getting one without a Tracking Gen isn't a waste of money but it does...

I could use the Bulldozer at the front gate for riot control! All my weapons are ready but the steel barrier would be helpful.

I did not think this would be necessary but apparently I was wrong. I got a message from someone that thinks all I have to do is answer emails and phone calls all day and not do any bench work. In the future, if anyone wishes to send work to me try to exercise at least 10 or 15 hrs of patience...
