just testing it out, making sure it's up and running before I do anything

ok I managed to find an Amphenol 8 pin octal plug in my junk box... it almost fits... but it only lines up maybe 4 pins at a time, the other 4 are off a bit... what GIVES?

understood. I do have a 117v Dow Key Dk60 sitting here...

I am getting ready to setup a Heathkit Marauder HX-10 transmitter and my Realistic DX-300 reciver, I am planning to run separate antennas for the Transmitter and the Receiver... and eliminate the T/R relay / Basically I figured Receiver muting would accomplish everything in this case right...

So i went over to see my dad and stepmom in Kansas and he had an old Realistic dx300 He says he was using it last month... but it has a small issue The display on the preselector will not rotate all the way down... Also i can not seem to recieve anything but some local am stations. Not even...

and this SHOULD allow for operation without a reciever?

Bummer the older one is cheap. :)

Just wanted to know... eBay item #121366434904

I took that into acct while modding these I made sure everything could rotate smoothly before I started to weld everything in place

I am also considering guy wires the masts are aluminum all parts are welded to the tripod, and the joints are welded as well

Yesterday I finished modifying a pair of Rohn TRT60 5 ft tripods to be a little stronger and to accept a Ham IV rotor I need to decide how to mount the antennas... I have the following antennas: - Wilson SY-33 3 element tri band (a little over 5 sq ft ) - 11 element 2 meter yagi...

Metal by the Foot, Inc. They are local Maybe i am looking at it wrong?

Well because 3/8 solid aluminium is only $7.80 for 10ft but tubing is like $50 for 10ft

I am getting ready to build a 6 element 6m beam... I already have an aluminium 20 foot boom I plan to use 1/2" solid for the driven element... What would be the minimum diameter for the directors and reflector? I understand from an electrical standpoint anything will work... my...
