TS used the fake ebay toshibas for about a year before they were caught and exposed. Now they're back to using the may-pop DEI's.

His videos pop up on my yt every now and then. https://youtube.com/user/LestersCustomTrkShp

Ive got several m6b mics that were modded by d-rail. Unfortunately they come with a giant clip on ferrite bead attached to prevent rf issues mostly when using amps and its causing wires to break in the cord near the plug. Are there any upgrades from these ultra thin cords? I wouldn't imagine...

Yes it looks nice. Its big giant shiny base station with a bunch of switches, knobs and meters. But parts are scarce for the daks, mainly the facial parts, knobs, switches and meters. Unless the face is near mint, no broken switches, meters or missing knobs walk away every time. Some folks gut...

Not the C version, its the regular HG 2879 16D08 that tune wise are the closest to the toshiba 2879's. They aren't a perfect tune match but close enough for government work lol. As was said DO NOT BUY THE CHINESE FAKES. Lots of fake toshibas out there and no real ones to be found unless you know...

If it were a dak X maybe but even then it still takes up too much real-estate for what it does or doesnt do and the quality wasnt there as nomad saying. Very low power and the 9 was am only, 10 was am/ssb. Might be a good choice to drive a low drive 3 stage tube amp I picked up a 9 last year for...

Here's a good one. Here we have a Dentron 1200L with burned up 572b tubes and the guy thinks its worth $450. I believe he'll be sitting on this one for a while. https://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/ele/d/tampa-dentron-dtr-1200l-linear-amplifier/7381654350.html

The problem is the breaks in the supply chain that covid caused worldwide. Its still rippling because of the variants . Parts are hard to get and therefore its simple supply and demand. Hope youre not planning to buy a car new or used any time soon.

Welcome! A lot of hams will tell you the ranger 10/12 meter radios arent very good amateur rigs. If it were me id sell the ranger if it works like it should and put that money on an icom 7300 since you plan to get your ticket. A much better choice that will still allow you to sound good on 11...

Lmao, mine is in his 30's and i just told him i took out a $100k life insurance policy this week and he says "shit, i need to wait a couple months and get you to the top of a tall staircase. " Damn kid

Unfortunately i do not. I remember i started out using their measurement and worked from there.

Customizing can be fun but never holds value. If it were me id go this route https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/ico-ic-7610?cm_mmc=ppc-google-_-search-_-brands-_-keyword&gclid=CjwKCAjw-ZCKBhBkEiwAM4qfF4m8-A462ljCkV6Gnrm73gb8YkLRxCoBmLI-tBhyzzhupn_IvshDXBoCuU8QAvD_BwE

Agreed AND its not cheap to properly ship one of these "black base" radios either. Nomad agreed to refurb the 2995dx i bought a few years ago and it was $85 from Florida to Kentucky. So thats another $170 just for traveling. Of course that doesn't include the new supply and install and any...

I had my v5000 tuned pretty good but could never find resonance. Then i had to replace the hoop and it was nothing but a problem after that. I also had issues with large birds and owls perching on my antenna. Prices are up on everything but when i bought my colossal several months ago it was...

D104 m6b seems to be popular. D-rail sells a modified d104 though the price is a little steep but im very happy with mine. If you plan to run power think about a quality clip on ferrite for your mic cord. If you buy from d-rail it comes with one. The astatic 878dm would be my desk mic choice...

First you will want to replace ALL the hardware and replace it with stainless. Second, i found that this antenna is a bitch to tune even with a good antenna analyzer because of how many different points affect the tuning. Where your hoop bracket mounts to the base, your feed point on the hoop...

Any time i buy used shit like this ill ask for inside pics then send those to someone who will eyeball it and tell me whether to negotiate or walk away.
