    powerband rfx 75

    forget about those pep numbers they are meaningless the transistor in that rfx is rated at 75 watts pep but will do it in average.every transistor i have had on the bench did its rated pep power in average power.no transistor ever on my bench did its pep rating but in fact usually will do 2-3x...

    Imax 2000 or maco v-5/8th

    good point audioshockwave if only there was some sort of camera that could pick up that pattern in the air by just keying the radio and go outside and point then we could see what was going on hell maybe there is.that sure would make things easier.

    half wave antennas not needing ground elements?

    hello my .64 pal lol.i have owned several antennas and one thing seems to always hold true the longer of them always seems to work better with exception to the astroplane that seemed to work better than my shitduster!i have had the p-500,shitduster,asstron 99,midland 5/8,maco 5/8 and the imax...

    half wave antennas not needing ground elements?

    agree to agree like cdx said first of all a s unit is usually between 3-6 db depending so divide that by 2 and you have 3 instead of 6 add that and 5.5 db comes to mind sounds about right.but who can really go buy db numbers based on antennas everyone has a db number do they really tell you...

    AVG versus PEP?

    most people dont understand this and dont understand the measurement method either!and 1 foot is 1 foot 10 watts average is not 10 watts pep its 10 watts period.i think doc has explained this best if you like your meter to slap all over the place then pep is for you!if you like to know what your...

    Galaxy 98VHP as a base

    i would assume the 325 watts was on am pep?those radios do about 250 on ssb and are loud talkers on am but lack on ssb as far as modulation is concerned.am should be measured in average power not pep!while pep makes the meter look better it is not true power and most all radios have higher...

    President Lincoln / HR2510 or new RCI 2950DX?

    from my understanding after talking to someone at rf parts the mrf455 was discontinued and replaced with the mrf453 when i ordered a pair for an amp i was shocked to see they were larger than the mrf455 making better heat dissipation.when installed they performed just as good if not better than...

    Deadkey vs swing

    thanks for that read audio that was great.booty your spec sheet rates a 2290 at 60 watts 2x60 would be 120 watts i have seen several 2x2290 amps do between 180 and 250 watts but never 120 watts.as i stated before the toshiba transistors were underrated and i am not the only one that thinks...
