Me either, mabye back when the 11-meter band was donated/delegated from the ham bands for CB perhaps?

To be honest, that would create more tension. Why? Because ham's have to take tests to show they know the basics of radio operation, basic skills surrounding the hobby. That doesn't mean a typical CB'er does not, but it proves through a certification process, much like earning a degree or...

I concur, maybe he thought he was exempt in his audaciousness? Although the site states "RadioActive is authorized to sell Texas Star", does that mean FCC authorized or just via Texas Star? I guess the question would be is Texas Star authorized to distribute or sell these amps, if no why...

Never heard of the guy, what are his credentials?

Yes I have tried the Palstar LPF with fairly good success. Pretty much its an updated version of the Vectronics LP30. Both use the 9-pole Chebyshev filter designs. Paul still tests and hand-tunes each one--one at a time.

Another engineering success story!

When I don't want to look at the ads, I just resize my browser window so I can conveniently remove the ads on the left. Most of the time I zone them out, my wife says I am good at zoning things out. :)

Sounds like it could be an "open" diode... If I only had a schematic, drat

The link you provided in post #4 Thanks!

Can you set the MOD on the FWD (full scale) setting?

Thanks for the replies. I am watching the one on eBay for the time being.

I concur, it could be a diode. Yeah it also could have been due to a truck stop tuner that claimed the needle was [gasp]"Stingy"? Did you replace the diode?

Greetings forum! I am considering a purchase of a used service monitor. If I move forward, I would be looking for one with a built-in spectrum analyzer, Sinad, Signal, deviation, and RF Generator, wattmeter with a 100watt input peak capability. This would be used for two-way radio calibration...

Congrats Tony, and fine business on the 10 meter contact. Just make sure you use "sugar" instead of "sierra", for some reason the OT'mers seem to use that phonetic designation in my area. I don't have an "S" in my call so I don't use it. Ah well... I have heard of some pretty interesting...

I would have went with the FT8100R myself.

The Service Manual http://cbtricks.com/radios/galaxy/dx949/graphics/dx949_ser_manual.pdf And knowledge of Ohms, and Kirchoff's Laws of course.

I use Server 2003 to host some of my sites and FTP areas. I use DynDNS with an auto updating dns since my IP changes often. It doesn't cost anything to go through them. One can use dreamweaver, MS Publisher, Frontpage, and a few others to setup webpages. When I am away from home I use...

I concur.

I hear this could be a grounding problem in the LPF circuit which may explain the TX and RX problems you are seeing. I believe the problem may not be apparent through a dummy load, but when using an antenna with feed-line. Some have mentioned varying the feed-line length (RF hot spots), but I...

If you wanted to strictly go with Kenwood, maybe look at the TS-50S perhaps.
