I opened her up, two 2SC2290s inside. definately will need some TLC looks like two resistor got burned/overheated. Gonna work on it and make sure to put in two good resistors in before trying to use it. I was surprised it actually was able to work with those two bad resistors. when I post...

Thanks yeah I will post some pics this weekend, it definitely warms up I will be attaching a muffin fan to it. Is an swr range of 1-1.5 safe on these things I am not sure how sensitive they are in that range for the finals.

Curious what is the safe deadkey and max swing for testing dummy loads with this White Tornado 225 plus? seems like a real nice little amplifier, it is definitely clean output looking at it on the scope, it hits about 200 watts, its a class AB1 amp and I would say its an accurate description...

You want that you will have to step up to Yaecomwood stuff. All these exports are really "CB/Freeband radios"s in sheeps clothing. :D

yeah it removes the heat well I was running it indoor 76 temp. I have used it outdoors as well at 89-90 degree temps high humidity outdoors. You can run this thing all day outdoors as well it does not flinch. They designed this radio for field day use,high duty cycles, why the radio is so...

More like 886 bucks. But it will last forever. They are selling for under retail lately.

I like the look of it, looks clean inside. Also it being shorter is nice, means its easy to mount on a jeep :)

Flir thermal image of ic-7200 after heavy use - YouTube Thermal image video of the radio after heavy use, where other radios eventually fail is due to inadequate cooling resulting in the eventual breakdown of the PA transistors. BTW got good contacts up to the Blue Ridge mountains barefoot on...

I use a 102inch whip with a 4 inch spring, drilled a hole into a 40 quart stock pot and used it as the base for the antenna. I get good SWR across the band. This is what it looks like at my setup. 102inch base antenna setup final setup with spring - YouTube

Was able to get out to West V, blue ridge mountains on my barefoot IC-7200 :) AM mode. not to shabby, with my 102inch whip.

Interesting looking radio. What's it do 15-25 watts?

Probably some kind of image if the IF is 10 mhz on that radio it might me mixing somehow and your hearing it

Yes it opens TX from 1.8-30mhz this is for MARS operations use.

Usually what they do is move the hash somewhere, kind of like sweeping the dirt somewhere else. When I have time I will probably look for it with the scope. There are some switchers that actually have a tuning knob. :) But so far In the important bands no hash. Beats carting around one of...

just remember local will be like 60 bucks tax. The Gigaparts will do the MARS/CAP mod for you so its a turnkey package. When I ordered from them I got it 3 days later. I chose that option when I ordered, no way I am gonna try my golden screwdriver skills messing with SMT components on an 889...

I got mines from Gigaparts free shipping 889.

Good set of locals down here, pretty lively. anyhow did some rag chewing with the guys on the locals channel talking about radios etc, bunch of guys hang out here in CBland. so all is good. Definitely CB has more of a local flavor due to the lower CB usage but I would say its like earlier CB...

hehe, wait till you get it and you open up the box and lift up that radio for the first time. :D Its worth saving for. One good radio would last you a lifetime, and its cheaper in the long run when you think of it. I have been getting lots of good reports on the audio local and skip. (AM and...

I bought a galaxy 979 for the jeep, it was 141 dollars for the whole thing. It has the blue led and it was made in Malaysia. The microphone was defective out of the box, but I had a power mike for it. Ssb is off by 320hz out of the box :D when I have time I will align it. It's a good am radio...

Your right thats why a good switch is not cheap. You can buy a crap switch and blow a 400-800 dollar radio or invest in a proper switch and do it right. but it does cost to have a properly engineered and tested switch.
