Were can I find the latest question pools for the No Code Tech class. Ad no I have no intrest on the key. Sorry CW.

He is right, Listen to the 11meter when the skip is rolling in hard. A perfect example.

As I stated in the first post, he aquired the radio. He didn't buy the thing, it was given to him duh. :D

A friend of mine just aquired a 2950DX and was wondering if Ranger makes a add on pack to make it a 2970DX like mine. Any ideas? Bob. :roll: :idea:

Devildog, I haven't here from you in a coons age boy. My tail is wagging happly to see your still out there. We miss you. Ok, I will keep the antenna, but I am going to buy a beam as soon as the finances will allow. The one that still comes to mind is the astrobeam. Small turning radius, light...

I still use one and I do have the book for this radio. Yoy strap the large resistor on the bottom, this will give you 10 watts. :)

I run a 2970DX in my truck. It has that BIG radio sound in a small package. :lol:

I was wondering how good the new Starduster and the Astroplane base antenna are compared to the original one's. I am currently using a Super Penatrator from the 70's, Would there be any difference?

I must be one of the newer members, Charger issued my membership on 2/11/03.

Welcome and have fun out there. :D

You should send this to readers digest. You get paid for the story and everyone will get a great laugh. I love it. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ROFLMAO

Nice to here yea out there Lazybones, Whan the skip is running. Nice sounding station. CDX1143- Big Sky Country, Montana. :D

Thanks for the info, I thought there would be a way to convert but was not to sure. I was thinking about doing a total recap on the radio anyway. The diode conversion was for test proposes only and not for a permanent installation. Anytime I work on the old tube stuff I do a recap and if there...

I have a radio the uses a 12BW4 Rectifier tube and I was wondering if there is a solid state replacement for this. It looks like the high voltage is 360.

Now thats funny, I thought only commercial buildings are concerned about power factors not houses.

nomadradio; Thanks for the info. I just was curious about the upgrades. I found out many years ago that too many so called upgrades that people do to radios more often that not, hurt the radios lifespan. When ever the elusive skip roles back in. maybe I can get across the street. Lol. :lol:

I was wondering if anyone has seen the power kit for the 2970DX or is this just bunk. The kit is a follows,change the power reg from a stock 2SB754 To a 2SB817 And the other is a change 2SA473 to a 2SA1012. Also is there another transistor that can be changes in the amp section from the...

I have been dealing with ebay sence it started and I have had no troubles. You do have to do your homework and read between the lines. Buyer beware if you don't. Look at the feedback and read the post. Also look at what he has been doing, buying or selling. If there is any questions about the...

From what I have seen on EBay, It is so much cheaper to buy one already build. I did download the manual for the sb200 if you want it I could Email it to you. Bob.
