    Oscilloscope?

    Thank you! Also thanks for the video links. I'll be sure to check those out! Is there a widely accepted "safe place" to clip that ground clip on the test lead? I was thinking perhaps the radio chassis?

    Oops. Let's try this. :)

    Oscilloscope?

    I've never owned a 'scope until now, and I'd like to use it to help with alignments and audio adjustments on my personal equipment. I am a big stickler for clean audio, so I felt it was time to invest in a piece of equipment that I could use to help me achieve that. As I've never owned a...

    Connex CX33HPC1

    Thanks Chris, The board is similar, but not exact. The CX33HPC-1 has a EPTDX2912z board. I done some investigating with the pots yesterday evening (with a sharpie marker obviously so I could "go back") and have information on what some of them control. I'll update here with my findings so...

    Texas Star 350 variable pot & drive question

    Wow, thank you so much for all of this. I appreciate it. I *was* planning to turn down my Stryker 447 to run into it, but decided against that. I'm just going to hit it with a dual mosfet Connex radio that peaks about 45 clean watts. Thank you again for your information and advice. I'll just...

    diy alignment tool

    I made mine out of a throw-away plastic knife. A minute with the dremel tool was all it took. Sure, it's not "professional", but neither am I.

    Texas Star 350 variable pot & drive question

    From what I seem to remember, the TS potentiometers were a weak-link with these amplifiers. Is there an upgrade part out there that would be better suited? As the potentiometer is merely a variable resistor, is there anything stopping me from checking the resistance of the pot once "set" and...

    Stryker 447HPC2 & Texas Star HD

    Excellent! That's what I needed!

    Stryker 447HPC2 & Texas Star HD

    Yep, obviously been modified as it peaks above the advertised 55W PEP.. Is there a "high power adjustment" in the radio, or is lowering the PEP as simple and backing off the audio some? Afraid of losing modulation loudness when I do that.

    Stryker 447HPC2 & Texas Star HD

    That only appears to adjust AM carrier and not the PEP.

    Stryker 447HPC2 & Texas Star HD

    I have a Stryker 447HPC2 and a Texas Star 350HD. Haven't hooked the 350HD up to the radio, but am curious about trying it. The radio peaks about 80W, and I'm thinking this is a little too hot for the 350HD, even though it is a high drive amplifier. My question here basically is can the 447HPC2...

    Base Sirio GainMaster

    5/8. I saw the 1/2 wave "HW" one, and it was the same price.

    Base Sirio GainMaster

    Just picked up a new GainMaster at a great price. I was leaning towards another A99 or an iMax, but I just couldn't pass up the price on the GM. $149.99 with free shipping from Wal-Mart online! I've read over the instructions, and have also read multiple threads on the GM. I still have a...

    HD pill amp

    I really don't know, haha. I'd like to be in the 300-500 PEP range?

    HD pill amp

    I have a Stryker 447HPC2 that swings about 75 on the peaks, and I'd like to find a nice amplifier (high drive) to go with it. Anyone have anything they might be willing to part with? Thanks!

    President Electret Microphone Upgrade

    Prelim testing yields good results with what seems to be a little better "low end" response. I have two President mics that I can use on the Lincoln II. One remains stock, the other is the modified one with two additional elements. There certainly IS an audio difference between the two. I am...

    President Electret Microphone Upgrade

    I'm going to try this this evening with my President Stock Mic. There was a few old telephone handsets in the junk closet at my office, boss said to throw them out, so I'm taking them home to dissect and rob the elements out of them. :)
