What is soldered to the shield over the mosfets? That has me curious.

Is it a constant tone? I could have sworn I heard FT8 on ch 19 yesterday.

I did the same thing to one of those amps, i used some big sheet metal screws that were able to thread between the fins of the heatsink and hold the fan there and ran the wires inside to connect to the 12v. One set of power wires and fan is always on. Great little amp for what it is.

Was that CH18 AM or was that sideband?

Sounds like a digital mode to me. But ch 18? That's a weird place to do it.

Did you ever try any SSTV?

It's not SSTV but I just hooked up a PC to my radio and made a contact on 27.635 USB with ROS for the first time five minutes ago.

As a former upstate New Yorker myself. I don't know what's worse, driving on the Thruway or hearing 163 for two hours. Sorry just had to for a laugh.

I am going to shut the radio off for a bit and take my grandmother shopping. I'll be on later today trying again.

I am still listening but my conditions are not that great at the moment.

762 Florida? I have been calling out every few moments.

Same here, I'm gonna do a long drawn out CQ call right now. But I am only working my attic antenna right now with a barefoot Stryker955. I am in the central east coast of FL.

Im going to be in and out a bit today. But my radio on my desk will be on .405 USB all day.

I've got 40 USB on right now and I am getting some Spanish speaking stations using AM.

This is a great idea! I just want to add my two cents... I do think it would be good to stay inside the standard 40 channels to give people with a regular CB a chance to get in on the action. But what about using USB instead of LSB? I almost never hear anyone on USB on 11m. That being said, I...

It's actually possible the heater element could be about 9'-10' of wire coiled up in there.

Not a solution to your problem but... I put a mag mount on a chest freezer one time to do some tests. I kept hearing something my kitchen making noise. Turns out, the Keurig pot's pump was running every time I keyed up.

Set the voltage as close to each other as possible within 1/100th of a volt, then use resistors or diodes for load leveling. That's what is done inside a linear supply with multiple pass transistors to ensure an even load on the transistors. Put an amp meter on each supply and load it down. If...

I'm not taking it as you being rude or anything like that. It's all good.

Yes sir. Hold MENU and BAND and power if on. A menu comes up and you select CB BAND instead of HF BAND. Now the radio works from 24 or 25 something to 30 MHZ.
