    BBI using eBay LDMOS Boards?

    Looking at BBI website, the LDMOS amps are expensive no matter how you slice it. Unless they last for decades, it may not be the way to go. Or, can one be made that can compete on a watt by watt basis?

    BBI using eBay LDMOS Boards?

    If LDMOS worked good, everyone would jump on that bandwagon to replace the inevitable demise of the bi polar design. Why isn't this the future?

    BBI using eBay LDMOS Boards?

    Notwithstanding BBI's little trick. LDMOS technology looks good. You can get a 60 volt battery at Home Depot for Dewalt power tools. What is the problem with LDMOS??

    BBI using eBay LDMOS Boards?

    Are you 100% sure that BBI actually sold that amp? Facebook is not the most reliable source and that could be Fake News. That guy may be framing BBI.

    Maco v58 and IMAX 2k

    I just the IMAX. It will replace the A99. I will put it up on my "super mobile base mountain top antenna support system." I drive to the third highest mountain in Orange County CA and put it atop a 30 foot mast. I will let you know the results as soon as I can get it up (and at my age that...

    Cobra 29 LX lower deadkey with 100 ohm resistor and no cap?

    I added the 220 ohm resistor and it brought it down to about a watt.:) But than things went south. The soldering job I did was loose and would work when I "pushed on it". (I did a half ass solder job to see if the new resistor would work) . So I impatiently unsoldered it to do a "permanent"...

    Cobra 29 LX lower deadkey with 100 ohm resistor and no cap?

    I added the cap 470 uf and 100 ohm 1/2 watt resistor and than added the RF Gain wires to either end of the resistor. It works great. But I am deadkeying 2.9 watts with RF gain full down, and 3.6 with RF gain full up so the "variable power mod" works a little. I am swinging to 16 regardless of...

    Cobra 29 LX lower deadkey with 100 ohm resistor and no cap?

    I am trying to get a 2 watt dead key to run a TS 350. By turning up v4 I hope to have enough pep. That's all I want simpler the better.

    Cobra 29 LX lower deadkey with 100 ohm resistor and no cap?

    Very helpful . It seems like adding the rectifiers in series is a better or at least easier way?

    Cobra 29 LX lower deadkey with 100 ohm resistor and no cap?

    I just bought a brand new Cobra 29 LX and would like to lower the deadkey to around 1-2 watts. Could I just solder the 100 ohm 1/2 resistor on the solder side of JP36? Or do I need to install the capacitor on the other side also? I also turned up AMC V4. That is all the mods and adjustments...

    What is your all time favorite BASE AMP?

    I'm amazed the a99 or the wilson didn't fail and the 32 pill go up in smoke shortly after. They lasted because I seldom talked for more than a minute at a time. The Wilson burnt a black spot on the top of my car. The A99 did fine. 4335

    New Palomar Ceramic Microphone

    Palomar has always fascinated me as I hear bits and pieces of rumors going back to it being named after Palomar mountain in San Diego. Then there were the knockoffs? Boomer Superstar. And even the unauthorized? use of the Palomar name. I have a pick of the Palomar 225 on my profile a great...

    Retards Trying To Work Skip On 19 AM

    It seems the 6 guys are in a club of their own that dates back decades although I would like to hear the history if someone knows please? I remember a few so called sixers on 14 in the 1970s. Channel 11 or railroad tracks sometimes sounds sixish.
