Just found one - Thanks for the replies! 73

I'm looking for any version of the Texas Star Skeleton line in working / very good or better shape. Let me know what you have, and we'll go from there - Thanks! 73 Steve

29.995 Mc is usually pretty active with FM stations from Latin America.

Hi, Is your Dwight D still available? If so, is it in pretty good cosmetic condition? Thanks

I use 16 LSB sometimes as there are still a couple of folks in my area (Jackson, MS) that use it. I'll look for you the next time skip is rolling.

VX 1700 VFO Enable Instructions Here's how it's done...

From about 1982, my "numbers" were NAO223. That stood for North American Outlaw 223. I got these numbers by joining in on a net somewhere on the upper 40 one night. They even sent me a member's card and net schedule. Nice group of folks!

Mod for VX 1700 The modification is also easy for the 1700. It involves a plug with two shorted pins. I'll post more when I get back home to my computer, there. I think the range is 1.6-30 MHz TX&RX if I remember right.

I've got one of these Hi, I bought a Vertex Standard VX 1700 back when they came out in 2006-07. It is a very nice radio with very good specifications that are better than most "Ham" rigs. These radios are mostly sold to third-world users, with a few making it into the USA. This being said...

I just picked up a mint Gray 150 A, and was wondering what transistors it uses for power. The regular Gray 150 uses MRF 458s, but I can't find any information as to what the "A" model uses. The maroon vinyl-clad cover is still riveted to the case, and I don't want to drill the rivets out to find...

Hi, I'm looking for an Expo 100 "F" kit for a Panasonic. If anyone has one they'd like to part with, please give me a shout - Thanks!

Hi, I also enjoy my 897D. After adding a 2.8 Kc SSB filter, it's amazing how good it sounds! Of course if band conditions are bad, you can always select the stock filter from the front panel. 73 Steve

Hi Rick, I haven't built the kit, yet. However, I've got one ordered, and will let you know what I think when it gets in and I put it together. It doesn't look to be that difficult to build, so I should be able to comment further in a couple of days. 73 AC5CH

Hi, I need two each of these transistors. They were used in the FT 747 Yaesus, and also in Furuno marine radios. If anyone has a junk 747 with a good PA section I might be willing to buy it. NOS stuff is acceptable, too. Thanks, Steve

My LT was made in Malaysia. I hate that Chinese junk, too!

Hi, Those Cam 89s are nice radios! I've got a 23 channel Cobra 29 mobile that uses the same chassis. The only thing I did with mine was change out the AM detector, NB, and ANL diodes with 1N6263s. They only run about 20 cents each, and make a BIG difference in receive "quality." You...

Hmmm, that radio looks pretty nice. Thanks for posting the link!

Good deal - As long as a person is happy with a product, that's really what matters to them.

For about six months back in the '80s, I worked as an electronics technician for MFJ, and I second all of the comments I've read here. The equipment is relatively inexpensive, but remember that you usually get EXACTLY what you pay for... Personally, I'd rather buy a high-quality used device...

Hmmm, I might have to look into getting a couple of these!
