hams got away without any-digit frequency counters for almost 70 years, cbers have had 'em for just over 30. & i STILL don't get what they need them for....'am i on freq to you'...'you're off about 38 hz dude'....'can't be, had this radio to yaesu in '95, they said it was good'...'nah man...

wrong forum. tales of woe are to be posted in the 'open forum' section of copper

i ran an 86 blazer, or whatever year was 1st fuel injected engine, with a local electrical shops build of my stock alternator to a 'self-exciting' 115 amps....give or take. with 4 batteries, i could key my dx1600 all day with not a single issue. with 2 batteries, voltage drop was fairly quick...

the S9 differs little from a galaxy. probably from 1 radio to another, or even 1 person to the next, drift is no worse, & occasionally suggested to be less. receive-wise....same. transmit-wise, i'd give my thumbs up vs galaxy, but again it's all in the eye or ear of the beholder. as for...

ok. so have you ever gone to a hamfest??? now you know why there are so few (hot) women into amateur radio ;)

there's a couple posts here that 'hit on' the problem. after a discussion with chris holland & a couple others about the original 1st gen BLUE FACED mosfet magnum 257, dealing with WHY they had a detectable wobble on SSB, they all had the same answer. there were technical aspects as to WHY...

the cherokee XJ this was in is history, so my last bit of AM needs to go. as my other 1 was, this is also a gold joe/nc 1-2290 x 4-2879 with a wired remote switch that shows 200 carrier & 800 swing on my palstar, sx100 or wm1. this one is also about 7 years old, and while used less then my...

have had a couple tire kickers but that's it. on the other hand i really haven't pushed it. was talking e skip into GA this morning & it was working as well as ever, both receive & xmit. i really wanna move this to someone who's gonna use it & keep it alive. i just don't have time to...

the point made was how come he couldn't hear what the other guy was hearing. all OTHER things being RELATIVELY equal, station 'a' having a 'fine business' copy & 'neighbor' at station 'b' having 'no' copy, might only be partially attributed to antenna system. my well massaged grant xl, in my...

ok i agree with #1 i question only WHY regarding #2. if they are bridged, they are bridged. if you draw power from a common point-even a bus bar bridging via equal lengths of equal guage cable-i'm not sure what the difference would be. i've run batteries in parallel for many different...

1st, check that both PS's are putting out the same voltage. For lack of a better way to do it, take an item-say an amplifier that SHOULD draw 40 amps. Hook it to 1 PS & DEAD KEY on AM-no modulation. Lets say it draws 35 amps. Now, hook it to the other PS. If it draws a different amount of...

there is a reason crap like this is made and sold. there is a reason there is no 'new design' radios being made & sold. that reason is PEOPLE BUY CRAP LIKE THIS!!!!! you guys keep buying this crap & there is no incentive to invest money in a new design.

didn't i say that on your earlier thread?

does it come from the factory with the line out in the 6th digit on the freq display? or is that a user mod ;)

......i change vehicles like i change.....socks.....every 12 or 18 months. anyway, rather then spend $600+ to set up a screwdriver, i have jetstreams (hamstick-types) for 6m, 20m & 40m, along with my pedator for 10-12. i just strap them to the roof rack of my XJ &.....yea, time consuming...

i KNOW that too....but it's just interesting that an ADVANCE licensee, somebody who has been licensed a LONG time apparently doesn't know that. another great thing to hear on 10m every spring is when the LONG time hams (many who brag of 40 & 50 years plus with a license) say '....it's great...

the ch 38 locals aren't on by 9pm here. they get up early & start the usual crapola....you're 50hz too high, his 75 hz too low, i know i'm dead on 'cause i tuned up to wwwv last month, you can't be on 'cause kenwood had my radio for 2 months last year & said I'M dead on....then they move...

......& the arrl antenna handbook is 600 pages ;)

that'd last the 45 seconds it takes me to get to the 10' 6" railroad bridge.....

rare day off from work today. base mobile, 615am thru right now, 10m all but dead all day, 6m was dead all day, & 11m....nobody too strong, but west coast, caribbean & right now e skip from OH & IN with jamaica too
