    Astron Power Supply Repair

    I bought my RS-35A back in the late 80's or early 90's. It was a used (refurbished) PS that I purchased from a well known PS vendor at the TRW swap meets. It ran 24/7 until sometime in 2011. I had to replace the regulator in my Pyramid PS about the same time. I installed a DIP socket when I...

    Taking out the Trash

    Good suggestion Brian. I think that some sort of radio rather than cells would be better, allowing all the hunters to hear group transmission(s) simultaneously. We're gonna have a get together at DTO's in the near future and we can nail down all the particulars then ... For the moment, during...
