I was just looking at the ground bar on your wall. Kinda looks like a version of this below. I like what you did I just want to avoid a ground loop. https://www.alphadeltaradio.com/accessories/model-gbwm-ground-bus

After looking at your pic you might check this article out and compare fig 1 & 2 to your ground pipe deal on the wall. https://helpdesk.flexradio.com/hc/en-us/articles/204779159-Grounding-Systems-in-the-Ham-Shack-Paradigms-Facts-and-Fallacies

Just get a 2018 Extreme echo mic, done. This way the radio stays untouched.

Many years ago when RF Limited was still making the Magnum S3, S6,and S9 radio’s I think they were the first to use the 2030 mosfet. That is what they went to when the 2sc1969 and 2312 were dropped. I’m sure Sam had someone make them several thousand at a time for him. Not sure at this point...

My out building with all my radio stuff had a metal halide dawn to dusk light for years above the garage door. Recently it took a dump and I got the bright idea to upgrade to an led light, so I installed this light...

There are several older threads here on the forum. Here is one. https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/kl-203-finals.36508/

Ok Greg now see how many here know what a Yooper and a Pastie are. Lol

I think that might be an 8 pill. Kinda like an old messenger amp. But damn don’t feed it with 240 ouch.

Yes very nice there, we’ll done.

Nice. I’d leave it as a4 pill.

https://www.rmitaly.com/en/product/kl-505/ The kl-505 appears to be more of an HF amplifier. Says 230 watts. https://www.cbshop.com/en/RM_KL_505?srsltid=AfmBOopEQSl7g8143f_EffJzDjbfdxJbyKOTlnIOBT0YPLt6_J1nzmwO

The HTX10 is getting pretty old and as I recall they could not be modified for 11m use. For what you will have to pay for one of these or an old 2510 you might as well buy new. Check out the Anytone radio’s or the Radioddty versions. Best bang for the buck and you won’t be fixing them. Aslso...

I also have a Generac GP5500, it’s loud but it’s a beast of a generator. Generac also now has a line of inverters similar to the Honda’s. Have not really checked them out.

They are on the expensive side for a stamped out surface mount board. Most amp builders start with a copper board and actually build an amp that is then hand tuned. I would rather pay for that kind of work. The mosfets they use are not even transmitting finals. When you read the specs they seem...

Still not impressed, thought these garbage amps died a quiet death when the 9530’s went away.

Agreed. I’ve had a Honda 2200i inverter since 2008, superb power inverter. I can run my furnace, a tv, and three 75 watt light bulbs no problem. Since it only has a one gallon tank you do have to gas up every 4-5 hours. Where it really shines is powering sensitive electronics.

lol old thread but yea, doesn’t sound like an A99 at all.

Probably depends on what mic you are using as well. With say a RK56 I could run the magnum radio’s mic gain wide open. On SSB with a Turner plus 3b I set the radio at 2/3’s and the Turner at maybe 30-40%. The last few years on the base I run an Icom 718and now a Yeasu 991a. I don’t ever run...

This is a decent meter for the price. https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dmn-sx200?seid=dxese1&gclid=CjwKCAjwnqK1BhBvEiwAi7o0X91Ax6XlgVgCp2S6KRzdew-Y90StUlOdxQCYxNNUCtWc8mXmHsI7_RoCfWAQAvD_BwE

Looks similar to an old Skeleton 220 that Texas Star used to make. This one looks older though maybe 1980’s.
