Paul is the real deal. 73 Jeff

A short time after he posted, he edited the post to remove his images...... With the reason that "No one is interested" I had responded with Have a little patience. I think new users are under the impression that the forum is manned 24/7 for radio technical support and many users here also...

It's not that no one is interested, it may take a little while to get a reply, not all members are here 24/7. Patience is a virtue 73 Jeff

Same here, they offered me a "sample" for $100 but said that the NRC was still not functioning. Did they ever get back to you on the AM issue? 73 Jeff

The 10K ( both the interceptor and colossal) are very robust builds, the advantages are high power handling and resistance to bad weather, you can't change physics and a 5/8 is a 5/8 wavelength antenna. The Maco will work very close to both of these antennas, however it's not going to stand up...

Lou is good with breaking down things in a simple way that's easy to comprehend. His Uniden export service manual was awesome good stuff when you could not jump on the web and find things in 30 seconds ,same with later Galaxy manual. Channel guard, speech processor's, amp instructions with...

There's a thermal compound called Liquidmetal that is a problem, I ran into this stuff doing work on computers. Upside,it has fantastic thermal properties. Down side, it's liquid, really it's a liquid so if you over apply it it will actually migrate across the heatsink spreader and it's really...

Please understand that English is not Mike's first language, I don't think his intentions are to be snarky, he has a great track record here of helping people...... 73 Jeff

The 667 used a single 2290 to drive 4 2879 transistors. Later models used two mosfets in place of the 2290. If your amp has a 2879 as a driver it has been modified. We have to remember that these were " designed" for older radios that struggled to reach 3.5-4 watts output with 12-16 watt peaks...

Happy Thanksgiving to all, and never forget to save room for more pie....... 73 Jeff

A simple error in assembly starts a chain of events that lead to a disaster. NTSB released the report on the Dali, and here Jeff details how a misplaced number label prevented one wire from seating properly in a connecter. The result was massive damage and loss of lives. 73 Jeff

I forgot about that... I thought they released a patch for the swr in the last software. 73 Jeff

I run a AT-200 Pro with a CRT 9900V4 on 10-12 with no issues, you tuner should handle 15 with a little reduced efficiency. 73 Jeff

By trial and error. One issue is that HG uses the same lot number for everything, crusher has reported at least 3 different tunes. It's not like the Toshiba transistors that you could roast half of a 16 transistor amp, replace the dead ones and go on ..... Toshiba had lots time to perfect the...
