biggest thing that you did was add more linearity to the amp by bringing it out of class c. it's not as efficient as it was... power in vs power out... not drive power vs output power. its using more working current now and basically doing the same output wattage with less drive but its cleaner...

you're correct but out of all the texas star users that you have seen, how many of them had fans mounted to cool the inside so that the diodes stayed at a steady temperature which would allow the bias to remain constant? the fans are normally drawing air across the heatsink and that would take...

geesh... i havent seen one of those in years yup, thats what it is but i wouldnt try to use in on anything other than a box stock, non export radio. the capacitors definitely arent rated for amplifier use

i say "lose bias" but a more correct wording would have been "bias changes". when you bias an amp you both lower efficiency and create extra heat. heat changes tolerances. tolerance changes cause voltage changes to the bias circuit. most biasing circuits aren't regulated and as amp pulls...

1a) you're correct. you could spend a fortune on polyphasers and the like on protection but you are better off disconnecting the coax and getting the end away from the gear. 1b) personally I would not ground the coax because lightning loves a good path to ground and you might actually encourage...

in a way, yes they are. while cool, their amps are in ab1 but after they heat up they start to lose bias and are no longer ab1

It's simple.... because they can. If they see any extra forward movement on any watt meter then it's worth it to them. They don't have the slightest idea, nor do they care, about spurious emission or what harmonic the majority of their power is actually in. All they care about is that their...

unnngh... forgive me in advance but i have to say it.... *adjusts all knobs to the right* one one one one one one one one one one one one one one and i just got down no excuses on the bowl

and you said i wouldn't need the popcorn.... :P this has been interesting... I knew it would be. I won't lie, I asked you to explain just to see if you understood the mechanics of how they differ. Seems like you do ;) Each antenna has it's place. Each can work DX. It really all boils down to...

please explain..... :pop:

hopefully the crooks got busted again lol

possibly phone menu option? several phones that i have had had the option of what mic to use in the menu.

you could go this route... Firestik AR1A - CB Antenna to AM/FM Splitter CB Radios, Stryker Radios, CB Radio Antennas and Accessories - Experienced CB Technicians at WalcottCB.com so you're using the stereo antenna as a cb antenna. plugs into the cb and stereo and the factory antenna plugs into...

normally if i just want one part out, like for a conversion, i grab it with either small needle nose or hemostats and crush it. that's the down right quick and dirty way lol. most times you can remove parts with a blob of solder on the end of the iron, especially if you use a wider tip. it will...

range depends on several things like location, power, antenna type and height as well as conditions. IF there are other packet users in your area you could set up nodes/backbones and then extend your range by connecting through other stations.

in his other post about this he said...

I really couldnt tell you. i havent worked packet (2m/6m US) in at least 15 years. that site is in europe and i dont know their laws but there are several countries where you can do anything you want on 27MHz Edit: woohooo... 100th post!

this should answer a few of your questions http://cb.3ln.eu/article_gettingstarted.php main site: http://cb.3ln.eu/ Edit: LOL I just looked at the video you posted and the link I gave you was in its description Guess I should have watched the video first..... :)

^ +1 :D I was (still am, just don't visit much anymore) a mod at a vb site with well over 100k paying members. When the site was first started, replies were allowed in the for sale and wanted sections. Just as you stated, there were many flame posts directed at the seller as well as "tire...
