I have some Belden 8866 that is old scrap from when I worked in Telcom industry. So I am going to use it to make my test leads for my 5000V Multimeter set up. I only have enough to make the leads. I am guessing that unless things have changed in the last 10 years you have to buy 100 feet minimum...

For the record I no longer jump out of functioning planes and no longer BASE jump either.I no longer climb with out a rope I out grew such things. LOL I still shower and bath though which makes me a real adrenaline junky!!!LOL Oh and for the record I meant everything in a way the same tone...

Letting the heater run is basically trying to let the getter do it's thing.

Let them heat up for 20 minutes tune them and talk on them if their is no gas issue and no arcing then you should not need any elaborate break in. Unlike capacitors if nothing is wrong with them their is no need to babby them or to torture them. Just use them and in time they will settle in just...

I am sorry but I just get all riled up when people start fear mongering and telling people the sky is falling or something to dangerous for them to try for themselves....... People jump off building, bridges, elevations etc.... and have to hand toss the droug chute the second they jump off so...

When I was a young man the add's in the back of my Boy's Life Magazines and Field and Stream usualy said to all 8-10 weeks for deliver sometimes longer then that....When I was living in Europe on Uncle Sam's dime it took exactly 11-14 days for a letter or package addressed to my APO address to...

Their are two different methods well 3 really but the third one is out their in left field.... Method 1: Start with 1/2 the heater voltage recommended put just enough power into the grid to get the tube's heaters to work, after a day or 2 at half power step it up to full power on the heater...

You know how you CB has an RF gain and mic gain knob??? The 2950 has what you probably call "dial a watt" it has two in one type pot'ss so their is in inside knob and an outside knob. So you can turn the RF output power down from the front right of the face. Depending on how you set it up after...

I bought one as a spare back up and my Dad used it for a while and it was stolen out of his big rig. Really when you stop and look at it from a cost to benefit stand point you are further ahead to get a 2950DX then to pay like new price or higher for old Uniden Grant XL or LT. They where great...

I have seen that before. Someone talks real slow so people think they are slow! I it is sad that people are so judgmental. If he is happy with the trade then you did not do him wrong. It would be different if you had specialized knowledge about an items value and the other person did not and...

I actually like a simple brief plane Jane roger beep on am and SSB in fact I think they should be required by law but only a simple beep. I hate all echo, all re-verbs, all noise toys of any kind except a simple roger beep! In fact I wish the FCC would fine the heck out of anyone with a...

I understand now ok........I some how missed the Hi-Fi part of this boards design. Thanks for restating that!

I am not an electronics major or a broadcast engineer. I apprenticed for two years in a shop that did mostly commercial repair for broadcast and for aviation radar gear and also did warranty work for amateurs and other odds and ends that walked through the door that was in H.S. I am not a radio...

I guess I am not following your problem. If you have the specifications for the tube and you have the ability to measure the current current and the capacitance setting of the variable cap on the back of the socket then what is your problem???? I know run on sentence!!Do you need to know how to...

I ordered a battery because I was not sure if I needed it for all functions or not so I just ordered one. From what I have read over the years their have been many different models of the 630. Some use the Banana style jack's some use the more modern style where you have basically the hollow...

This was a popular Mod well over 5 years ago maybe more. In fact RCI had just come out with the 2950DX with all it's surface mount construction and all the other boards where still old school discrete compactness. It was mostly people that used Export Radios on CB and those that catered to them...

Ham Radio Frequency Allocations including New Technician Class Changes! I am not an Amateur and have not been since my Novice class days in Boy Scouts and even I know this info. Are you really an Amateur because I find it difficult to believe that you would not know this info, have it in a...

Just so other's that might want one know in advance. They take non-standard lead/probes the end that goes into the unit is bayonet style so you can not just get a set at RatShack. Plus being rated up to 5000VDC/5000VAC you really have to make sure you are useing leads that can support that type...

Thanks!!!

CaptainKilowatt I have found and purchased that model. The image has the two extra ports on the lower left and it clearly reads 5000ACV/5000DCV!!! Thanks for pointing me in that direction. I spent hours on google trying to locate 2000 Volt, 3000 Volt, High Voltage and permeation their off.... It...
