Or instead of listening to the sand Jawa, we could listen to someone who truly knows. We could listen to a guy that will not only tell us the truth but show us the data, you know, those that know it show it?
I shall leave this here…
I believe someone put a video out awhile back saying the “max mod” wasn’t any better than the TIP36c or even the Toshiba part. Well, the Toshiba part was marginally better, that’s what I think he actually said. But between the 3 there was really no performance gain at all.
You got some guys...
I have to agree with you, not throwing gas on a fire though. The flame thrower that I saw, that I had here, was pretty far from throwing flames. Now if clear hot glue on every single connector makes one throw flames, I'll be right back, gotta go to Walmart.
I'll also agree about the GNF...
The thing about the frequency counter mentioned on page one, not enough digits, I tend to agree with this but… as long as you tune them in does it really matter? I mean, is there a valid argument for having another 2 digits? Just asking.

I believe Lou posted requesting a MARS mod for an IC-718. Video was posted. Sp5it I believe posted questioning the mumbling in the video. Lou thought 5 was referring to his question.
Does anyone else hear the idjit with the air raid siren on 38LSB? I hear this person usually on Sunday mornings, such as today.
3 hours just about, air raid siren.
Replacing the top section with a cut-down 102” whip, that is what I was referring to. Ice will break that tiny fiberglass end section, had it happen before so I replaced it with a cut down 102.
And to go against the grain here, I did achieve a “correct” SWR by trimming that tip. However, my...
Martian left me hanging like a cheap Salvation Army coat. Wonder where he is? You just can’t find good trolls anymore, and I’m from the land of trolls.
I’m from Anonymous and I’m here to help.
Short A99, 102” whip, solved problem. Just trim the whip down until you get where you want to be.
I replaced the end section of my A99 with a trimmed down 102 and it works perfect.
