HAHAHA, never. [By the way, thanks for the contact. Just got off the phone and am lined up.] :) Yes, I heard about the N2 and that mod they were doing. I knew what was going to happen, could see it coming. No surprise there. Now, back to my game. LOL

My point is, the radio should not be made so it CAN push the output to a point that it fails, not out of the factory box. I have amps here with pills I have by accident, over volted, over driven and over modulated, still going strong. And I have a few here with FET's that failed the first time I...

The truth is, I was pretty much already decided, but I needed a second opinion on the lack of pill final radios. I have heard a LOT of Yaesu and Kenwoods on 11 meters and they all sounded better than anything else on the air. I won't be disappointed. Tinkering with old is better than buying junk...

Yes, I know how tender they are. They can't take any pressure. My question is, why put them in a radio, and NOT turn the radio down so they can NOT blow the FET's? This seems like an easy call to me. Poor design to make something that can ruin a radio by the inadvertent twist of a knob, heh...

How about older rigs? Somebody, sometime, had to make a radio with pills? :(

Those little amps take such a small amount of juice you could connect it almost anywhere. However, do NOT waste the money on the 203, unless you like the smell of circuitry smoke. It uses four worthless FET's and you will smoke one of them in no time with that radio. Buy the KL200 instead, or...

Does any company make a dual final TRANSISTOR radio anymore? I am so fed up with worthless FET's that I will never buy another radio with FET finals. I will go to the dark side and buy a 30 year old Yaesu first. All I want is a nice strong, long lasting radio with some 11 meter channel spread...

Price is dropped to $225 via PayPal plus fees, plus shipping. One of the finals has died [operator error] and needs replacement. The radio still works fine, RX and TX, but at a lower power.

I researched antennas on the internet for a week or so before I bought one. Even before I bought the radio. I was not disappointed and now 8 months later, I still use it and even if the lease rules changed here and I was allowed to use an Antron or something similar, i would not bother. My...

That picture is not very informative. And it sure does not sound very logical that just anyone would go by any standard they wanted to invoke. RCI has a 6 pin connector and their mics have a color code. What a mess it would be of everyone just used any color ware to go anywhere, and even worse...

Unbelievable. So I get this almost done, and because I trust no one, I always check my wiring with a continuity tester. This piece of Redman junk cord did not even have the yellow wire stripped, let alone soldered to the pin, the blue wire was soldered to the same pin as the grounding wire and...

Pin 2 and 1 the ground wire? And can I just have the audio from the soundcard connected all the time? I mean it should not go into the radio audio circuit if it is not keyed up? Thanks for the help. When I was a kid, they had no words like dyslexia, but I think I got it. LOL, Never could...

Can someone help with the wiring of this Mic. I am attempting to come from my computer sound card to the RCI mic jack. I have a replacement cord with the 6 pin socket end and the other end is just the wires. I have it figured out how to trigger the PTT, but which pins then allow the audio...

I guess I will have to go get my Tech then, cause the madness on 11 meters is turning into a real circus. I was hooked on these digital modes as soon as I was able to decode my first signal. And I think that Fidel must be slipping, cause some guy name Boris is sending out messages from Caimito...

Thanks Doc. As far as I can find, the RCI-2985dx has no connection of any kind, other than for a headphone jack on the front, an external speaker jack on the back and a key jack. This radio was made in 2001, a little early for that. The newer 2995dx may have some of that. As for the audio...

Yeah, I had Exports in mind there, set up for 10, 11 and 12m.

I have a 10' male stereo 1/8" to male stereo 1/8" patch cord. Goes from a 1/4" to 1/8" reducer plug from RS, stuck in the Headphones hole in the front of the RCI Base station to get the audio to my computers sound card. Stick the adapter into the plug, then pull it out a quarter inch and you get...

Yup, like that one. The search didn't find it. What those fishermen doing, using a hand grenade?

Wow, a month old and no replies. I was looking for anything digital and now I wonder just why there is no forum dedicated to digital. Not only do thousands of people already use it, but from what I am seeing, it is the next important wave of the future. Either way, if the bands get more...

I have had this radio since May of 2013. It works great and I have talked to Europe and all the US on it with just a simple dipole and a little power. I had hoped my bad habits had died out with my past photography hobby, of buying new camera models just for the fun of a new toy, but apparently...
