If you want a good all around unit. The Yaesu 857D is what I have used for years. 20 amp power supply will do the trick. You have all of the modes AM,FM, SSB, Digital, CW, RTTY, You can have a lot of fun with it and you can put in the mobile when you want to. You don't need a big radio to...

Love working split shifts. Answer to question#1- I was on 20 meters The tubes look as if they are new. Clear glass and the lettering is near perfect. I do need to find out what he was doing installing 2 plate chokes in the amp.

The Henry amp is so far away from the original It would be hard to follow. There were no schematics to this rig. The plate transformer takes up half of the cabinet. Anyhow. I looked into the rf deck and I found that there is another what looks like a plate choke installed in there. I was getting...

Ok fired up the henry 2k2 on 220vac. What I did see was the 3-500zs come on and light. I used a ft101E as an exciter and I did tune it up on am and with a low carrier into the amp and keyed it up into a dummy load. What i did see was the tubes did get warmed up pretty good and in fact as I...

I was given a Madison CB Radio to play with. Ok here is what I know after getting the power supply up and running. There is a switch in the back connected to the main processor, I guess to switch the frequency's and there are a couple of components that are cut so My question is Why were the...

Sounds like I ab going to stay un modded. No since on taking a chance.

Hi HH. It's been a very long time chatting with you. Good grief we have been here since the Charger days. How are you doing old man. hihi. Anyhow, Soldering is no problem but I was just wondering if it would be worth the trouble in doing the mod. I haven't even work with the mars units for 15...

This subject may have been beaten to death but here goes. What does the frequency mod do to the radio, Will it go to 11 meter I dare say, and what damage to all of the other functions of the radio. Is it worth the price of maybe taking out the rig? Thoughts.

I am looking for the schematics for the browning S line 5 channel transmitter. I can't seem to find anything service information on this radio?

OK I have found the plastic material that will replace the original that goes on the front of the Yeasu FT101 line. My wife found it in a fabric store and it is used to cover furniture. She only paid .97 cents a yard. So now I can replace the front plastic and really make the radios look great...

The best cleaner I have found is Evaporator Coil Cleaner. It is designed to clean air conditioner evaporator coils from smoke and makes them smell fresh. Graingers sells it by the gallon or if you know and air conditioner repair person he may sell you some. Just a thought. Robert.

I read an article on time about the effects of cigarette smoke and electronic components. After reading this, I don't want to buy a piece of gear from a smoker. What it does to your lungs, it does to electronics. Over time, it will destroy electronics. I wonder how much truth there is to that...

Ok, here we go folks. I am looking to sell my Swan Mark 2 locally first but I need a good ball park on what it is worth. It does light up and the voltage does come up. I have a pic of it on my station pics. I do need an honest price. KE7KPB.

Does anyone know of a standard rebuild for this amp; trying to get some sort of schematics for it. There are some new controls added to the power supply.

I put up a couple of pics on my station photos. http://www.worldwidedx.com/station-mobile-pics/70086-datsun66-ham-shack.html It looks like all of the other components were mounted under the main cabinet. bob.

From what I understand, The guy was an electronics genus and invented something for computers. He started working at age 20 and retired at age 30. This was his personal amp and was working at the time he had passed. The main transformer is about 2 the size of the old ones and this thing is like...

I was at an Estate auction and Picked up a Henry 2 k amp for 250. The transformers were replaced with real beefy ones. was this amp worth the investment?

Hi Doc. I received a large book with a CD in the back. Yep you guess it. the ARRL Antenna book. Next I am going to order the ARRL Wire antenna book. This should be good reading when the -30 degrees temps hit Montana. Thanks for all of the info and I have never herd of a unun. the OCF has a...

Thanks for all of the ideas, It's time to make a 1:1 balun. Would you mount the balun close to the feed point or mount it where the coax comes out of the radio shack? amd are you talking about a coax choke or a true balun. Bob., Rats, went looking into the ugly balun and answered my own...

I put up a Windom antenna in my tree in the back yard and it has a 4:1 balun. On 10,20,40 bands the antenna does a fair job but when i go to 80 meter the trouble starts. I re did all of the station grounding with copper ground strips and grounded all of the equipment according to ARRL...
