Well , disconnected Sideband mod completely , same SWR results on the High side Grrrrr ! even tried different sized coax jumpers and still the same ! Could it be a kidney bean in the tuning section ? but like I said , why would all the lower power settings work great ? I'm guessing this amps at...

Sorry I didn't explain myself better . The SWR bridge was after the amplifer and antenna and dummy load from there , and yes the switch was a mod to open the relays for full power on SSB and to switch off if I were to use AM without a slight delay there after which seemed to work...

The amp has very good SWR's on low and medium power on both antenna and dummy load , the problem is when it's on the high side SWR is in the red ! both on dummy load and antenna ? It's weird because it's very good on the other settings ? Thanks . Switch

Thank you Nomad .

Just wondering if anybody had any info on thses mics (What they might sound good on ect.ect.) . Just came across one new in the box. Thanks. Switch

I made a mistake , I had the wires on the wrong side of the switch , moved them directly across and all is working great ! All power modes in SSB with good relay delay , No delay on AM after turning off the toggle switch as it should be . Thanks to all that had anything to do with this thread...

Well the switch thing seemed to work the relays better on High power on SSB (much better then it was but far from perfect) but in my case the switch still needs to be on for AM as well ? because with it off it shuts down the radios receive but there is no delay on AM after unkeying so that...

Great read Toll_Free ,brought back some memories , the stories Charlie would tell me with his buddy Randy Novack by his side . Switch

Thanks Hd ! Just thought I would ask before attempting the mod . I'm guessing this amp is on the older side ? (but in very good condition) I can recall over the years Texas Star maybe fixing that problem by putting a rocker switch in the back ? I never really cared much for those push button...

From what I am understanding ? If I jump pins 2&3 this will allow me to run SSB on full power without relay chatter ? I read there would be a slight delay on the AM side after doing this ? Could I just wire pins 2&3 to a small toggle switch so I could turn it off when using AM to avoid that...

I don't doubt that Jeff , like I said , it surely seems like a mosfet world these days , even Chris Holland makes a few of his own in Ontario and hear tell there good amps , I know some guys running the RM Italy 703s and they sound good on about 500 watts SSB and they love them. I can understand...

I got a KL7405 (not V) new in the box a few months back , I'm no amp guy that's for sure but I have used a lot of them over the years and experience and listening to those that know have always helped me out a lot over the years (much thanks for those who have taken time to help out when they...

I live in So.Cal and can't say I've seen much lightening around these parts over the last 25 years or so but thank you both for your concerns .

Dummy load cantenna , 8 gage wire ,meter ,70 amp Astron ..........I knew something wasn't kosher when I was testing it , it went to a local who is pretty good with radios and amps , did the same thing to him and that's when he noticed the pos wire and fuse burning up hot and finally destroying...

I get that Recon , thanks ! My problem is H.O.A. and I'm being as sneaky as I can under the curcumstances .......it's just the way it goes I'm sorry to say . Just the fact I'm talking and doing fairly well for what it is , I just have to accept my limitations . Switch

Didn't want to start another thread so I'll just try here .........Something is not kosher with the Pal 300 ..........it's certainly drawing amps ! the numbers on the bird around 250 rms, about 300 pep ..........the power wire and fuse in are getting hotter then hell ! ? it almost seems as if...

Update over a month later (kind of still working on things as time goes by) The 50ft 10 gage multi-stranded copper wire really helped a lot going down into my garage and to the only water pipe down there .......I just connected the end to where the coax connects on the female 259 inside the...

I'm sure your right Jeff ? After getting away for a handful of years my brain just isn't computing this stuff like it once did , I get bits and pieces or some things come back to my mind in time , I worked for the late Charlie The Candyman distributor for a few years before he passed in 08...

Just was wondering if anyone has used one of these and what they thought about it ? I'm surely no amp expert but it looks AB and kind of resembles maybe a older Messenger amp ? I would certainly think it could do a clean 300 watts with 4 x 1446's ? Thanks

I kind of figured that M0GVZ , I have tried other things suggected and nothing helped my situation but I keep on trying slowly as I go , gonna be running about 60 feet of copper wire hidden behind gutter drain going down to the ground and drilled a hole to get it through my garage to the only...
