    A Question For All Of You Radio Techs

    This Triton 1 (510) has a 6 pin power lead on it. Do any of you know if there is anywhere that makes a ten tec styled universal 6 pin power lead that I could buy to use for running it with a regular power supply ? Or maybe I can build one myself. In the manual it says that : For AC supply...

    A Question For All Of You Radio Techs

    Thank you Shockwave. I didn't think what he was saying made much sense to me either. But I listened carefully to his instructions just in case, and I continued to run what he had said through my head . But all of my experience with radios through the years, made me keep questioning his...

    A Question For All Of You Radio Techs

    Which is exactly what I thought too . But this man was VERY adamant that when I hooked the Triton I to the 262 , I first had to make sure to internally turn it's Amps back to about 8-10 using the 207 Ammeter for monitoring the proper amperage. The Pyramid PS21KX, and an MFJ 25 amp MightyLite...

    A Question For All Of You Radio Techs

    I do have a Pyramid PS21KX that I'm not using ... which is 13.8 VDC and 18 AMP Constant/20 AMP Surge . Would it be possible to use that power supply to run the Triton I ? Because the man I bought it from was very insistent that I keep it below 18 amps ... more like around 8 - 10 amps for the radio .

    RF In My Audio

    I've finally tracked down the culprit , it wasn't the radio or the coax . It was the MH-1B8 stock mic . I went with Shadetree's advice , hooked my dummy load up to FT-757GXII , and listened on my FT-897D using my headphones ... and my MH-1B8 stock mic had dirty contacts . When I bought the radio...

    RF In My Audio

    I guess that my confusion is coming from the fact that I've been using this same coax and antenna for at least 10/12 years without any issues. And now all of a sudden I'm being told that I have RF in my audio. I'm always on 40 meters, and on LSB , but I've tried different radios with the same...

    RF In My Audio

    To answer a few questions. I was talking on my Yaesu FT-757GXII , using it's stock mic , with a Carolina Windom antenna. I am using a LDG Z-11 Pro automatic antenna tuner, so I shouldn't be having any SWR problems. I was on LSB talking on a 40 meter net. But checking out my coax I found a few...

    RF In My Audio

    Hi everyone , I just tried to check into a Net on 40 meters and the Net controller told me that he was hearing some RF in my audio . What I was wondering is, exactly what kind of damage can your radios get from keying up with RF in your audio ? Keep in mind that, no I'm not going to keep trying...

    Ridiculous Amounts of Interference From Neighbors LED Lights.

    Hi everyone, I know that I can't be the only person that's had to deal with this issue. But I haven't been able to find a way to fix the problem without picking up and moving to a new house.

    I've been looking at frequency counters online, and I've noticed that a lot of them don't have their BNC alligator clip test leads ... and I was wondering, if I buy a replacement test lead for whatever frequency counter I buy , will any BNC test lead work, or will I only be able to use brands...
