    Shoot-Out Radios

    LF what a great survey. I have a lot of Craigslist radios usually bought for 20-30 bucks. They range from big finals, to volted, and what have you. Some of them are simple clip 109 to Witchcraft. I cannot believe they are still alive. So there is some kind of art conjuring these things. Do not...

    Well said. John Force could never catch me on the interstate. Sorry he does not show up with enough gas.

    CB radio: Is it over and out?

    LC, here in Ca there are still lots of folks on all different channels. On east/west highways you can still be heard by the California Highway Patrol. They may just be scanning(can make contact with more mature Patrol Officers and especially DOT) but, they are listening. Maybe because I work on...

    Boomer 400 RF making 50 amp switching power supply buzz.

    Onelasttime, I see nothing out of the ordinary inside. Now running the Boomer(4 transistor 1446 HG) with a unmolested 980(3.6w deadkey swinging to 11w) into the dummy load. The no adjust statement I made on the var cap was wrong. Still showing 5 watts of reflect into the MFJ 828B meter. SWR...

    Boomer 400 RF making 50 amp switching power supply buzz.

    C Thank you for the information. I need another 50 to make sure it is safe. I think I am talking apples and oranges here but, there is no way to combine my 36a and 50a together to handle loads of this amperage?

    JM said they will handle it. Ship it well packaged. Where else in this world do you get that type of service. No where.

    Tonite the power supply went to the great power supply resting place in the sky. Emailed JM on his disposition on this. As you might guess I expect it to be favorable.

    Boomer 400 RF making 50 amp switching power supply buzz.

    Tried the caps: chassis to ground, ground to positive, and positive to chassis and no change. Emailed MegaWatt a video and JM said that it was the sound of the large transistor in the power supply. He advised that it is not hurting anything. Thanks to everyone for your help.

    Boomer 400 RF making 50 amp switching power supply buzz.

    Only when modulating on AM(SSB no problem and as fine as an auto SSB can be). BK this Boomer was out of control. Had 4 same lot 455's(used all of Nomads advice to tame this shrew) pulled them and installed 1446's(much better low gain transistor). If I remember correctly this was not the case...

    Boomer 400 RF making 50 amp switching power supply buzz.

    Still looking for ferrite that I could use in this way. DXE is were I have purchased large 31 3/4 id ferrites from is pricey. I know that the right blend/number of ferrite is important. Even on amazon they are up there. For the price some companies are looking to get the ferrites they should do...
