    Galaxy DX 959 opinions

    Care to share the procedure with us? All the posts I've found so far are thin on many important details. A comprehensive write up would be great.

    Which Filter Should I Use....

    Captain Kilowatt is correct - since your fundamental signal is causing the problem, no amount of filtering on your end - save turning your radio off - will fix this. You have to eliminate your signal at the neighbor's phone. Here's what's happening: the wires act as antennas and pick up your...

    Astatic 10 DA

    Who? Definitely what you don't want to do is replace the dynamic element with a screechy crystal element. Astatic actually marketed a 10-C head and it was a commercial failure. The best you can do is prowl eBay and the usual other forums for a replacement dynamic element. Ken's...

    Oldest CB DX Club # Ya Got

    Back in the 1970s, NUMBERS were all the rage! At least on sideband. "Handles," like 10-codes, were for the children on AM. But on SSB we Serious Radio Operators, and used Numbers, Q-codes, and your real first name. And which number you had was so important. There were people giving out...

    If you regularly post articles on a forum, take note...

    Don't worry, I'll try and keep it civil. :) Oh, but you are hiding things. The posts you made are intentionally thin on several important points. Like exactly what material copyright you are accused of violating. Thanks for your concern, but I am fully capable of protecting...

    If you regularly post articles on a forum, take note...

    Well, you should have been more specific. Maybe even provided a link so we could see what was posted. You can understand why I came to that conclusion because if you had indeed merely "summarized the story and quoted a few lines, and provided the link to the story" then, of course, the lawsuit...

    If you regularly post articles on a forum, take note...

    While I fully agree that Righthaven are lowlife scum, you brought the lawsuit on yourself. When someone else writes an article or takes a picture, they own it. And they have the right to not have other people steal or copy it without the owner's permission. And that's exactly what you did...

    small or portable SSB radios?

    In terms of HTs, you're pretty much out of luck. Besides the AH-100, the only other SSB walkie talkie I've ever heard of is the Midland 13-778, which was made back in 1971, and then for only a very short period of time. In fact it came and went so fast it barely made a blip on the CB scene...

    Can you parallel Zener Diodes?

    No, you can't. Since the breakdown voltage will never be identical between the two zeners, one diode will always swamp out the other and conduct the most current, until it burns out. Then the other diode will start carrying the load until it burns out, too. Adding a resistor in series...

    WTF Ebay?

    Bad idea trying to beg the buyer to buy insurance. When I sell on eBay, the shipping price I quote always includes insurance. And I can't tell you the number of people who try and get me to drop it to save them some money, but I always refuse. In fact, after I get one of those I usually add...

    Pray for Tsumani victims

    I didn't start this thread, so if anyone made the mistake of posting a religious discussion in the wrong place, talk to Oldtimer, not me. I merely responded to a thread already in progress. And if you don't like people refuting your beliefs, then maybe you shouldn't flaunt them in public on a...

    Channel Expansion kit.

    The guy who designed and built it is an Austrialian named Mac, but in "the_mod" circles he's generally referred to as Mad Max. He's definitely intelligent and builds a really nice unit, but he's a little hard to deal with sometimes. Currently he's trying to find distributors for his DigiMax...

    Pray for Tsumani victims

    I never said don't have compassion for the victims. My point is by praying to some mythical god it does absolutely nothing to help the victims of the disaster. The only thing it accomplishes is it makes the person doing the praying feel better about himself because he's convinced he's helping...

    Pray for Tsumani victims

    Maybe God shouldn't have made the earthquake in the first place. It's all His fault to begin with.
