You'll find that you know, or are familiar, with more of the subject material than you think you are..... Good luck..... Amatuer radio is quite enjoyable...... I'm a rag chewer, don't do digital at all because I don't care to use my radio with a computer.... I want to talk or tap the CW keyer.....

I would highly suggest that you prepare to take the Technician class and General class exams at the same testing session...... It may seem like it's too much at one time, but when you get into the studying and practicing taking the test, you will probably find the Technician test relatively...

I passed each exam by only missing 1 correct answer on each exam....... As I stated before, I used the study materials I listed..... https://hamstudy.org https://hamexam.org/study-materials

I haven't heard any updates .......

35 questions on each exam for Technician and General class....... 50 questions on exam for Extra class......

No membership or sign up for the two web sites I listed above.......

hamstudy.org ...... just what you may be looking for hamexam.org ...... practice test formatted just like the official test

They are still available...... Every bit as good as what you see from two other very well known, long time builders that now have to use HG transistors...... But better because these have original TOSHIBA 2SC2879 transistors...... Just sayin'.....

BC, I can't hardly believe you've never heard of ZERO Antennas ...... Been around for awhile. Very good quality and beefy construction. Amateur Ham radio antennas......

LOL .....Watch out what you wish for........ I have a NOS (late 70's to early 80"s), brand new in the box, box definitely has some wear and tear....... Super Penetrator 500 Antenna The antenna has been well protected.......

I use the Alpha Delta switch for switching between radios...... I use the very heavy duty MFJ-2704, Gold Plated contact switches for switching between amplifiers....... In my experience, I have found the MFJ-2703 and 2704 switches better for the high power switching........

Yes, same situation here .......

Old style robust relays, yes..... Newer style switch banks......

I'm really not surprised that there hasn't been any responses....... But you can't get amplifiers with genuine Toshiba transistors for the same low prices that you can with the lower quality HG transistors........

That website has been up for quite some time now...... I don't think they are the actual owners of the Texas Star amplifier line ....... Galaxy radio is still the current owner .......

Well, the upgrades do increase the cost of production significantly...... And the Texas Star amplifiers will perform pretty dang good as they are built, just not to their full potential....... The upgrades improve the reliability, and do improve the performance. In my opinion, the most to gain...

Well, now the video I saw did not exactly say that....... It said that Texas Star was going to cease production in the very near future ....... And that an un-named, current, long term employee is very interested in purchasing the company, and is looking into doing that.

I don't intend to hijack a previous post .......... But, I have several Texas Star amplifiers for sale also...... All amplifiers do have GENUINE, ORIGINAL Toshiba 2SC2879 transistors in them...... All have wiring upgrade....... All work very well ....... Couple of DX350V's ....... $500 Several...

After much reconsideration, I have decided to go forward with selling my amplifier........ It is a great performing HF amplifier...... Ameritron AL-1500 Amplifier - Manufactured in April 2013 Pristine Condition, looks brand new, no smoking environment...... Original Eimac 3CX1500A7 8877 tube...

The KM3KM Mercury Amplifiers are very good HF amplifiers....... I have been running the Mercury LUX for about 15 months now, and it performs great. I do have the band data cable connected to my ICOM 7610 so as to reap the benefits of the amplifier following the radio wherever it goes. I do like...
