    Quick schematic question

    Is the input circuit around kt907 for impedance matching? Decided to rework my amp project into a mono lowband AM transmitter with modified heising modulation with a toroidal transformer. I would rather use a grounded grid scheme for the gu-50.

    Navaho TRC-458, TR-9 replacement?

    Does anyone know what transistor would cross reference to the tr-9 transistor in a navaho trc-458? When I pulled the transistor handling it, I rubbed the numbers off by accident. Thanks

    Starting winter project, need some Info

    Well Instead of buying an amplifier like I originally was. I would like to build one instead. I have this schematic, but would like some input on what the pi net componant values should be is there a formula for calculating this, mainly the L1 and L2 and C5 values? Also the reference material...

    FS or Trade: Realistic TRC-458 parts radio, no modulation

    I have a TRC-458 that has no modulation on ssb or am, does have a carrier on am. Might just be the mic I tried on it... who knows! Also has intermittant receive, which looks like the mode switch just needs a good cleaning. Its In ok condition some rust on the back metal chassis. Everythings...

    Amateur Amplifier recomendations?

    Looking for recommendations on an amplifier that can handle 80 watts of drive to go with a Yaesu FT-101EE. I would like somthing vintage, tube ofcourse. This would only be used on ssb, dont really do AM on this rig. Thanks

    Which multiband antenna?

    I am setting up a new station, so far I have gotten a nice Kenwood TS-520. I am looking for an antenna that will cover mainly 80/40 meters or more without a tuner. I am looking into feeding this with either BuryFlex or LMR-400 or ?. The run will most likely be about 150ft. I have been...

    What year was the Kenwood TS-520 released?

    I thought the input impedance was 50k, the amplified version of the d-104 stand is matched from the hi-z element through the amp board to about 600ohms. Is the audio affected at all?
