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?
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??
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...
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"...
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...
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...
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.

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...
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.
