    Galaxy Saturn (non Turbo) ????

    Does anyone know what the stock final(s) are, in a non-Turbo Saturn? My Saturn gets out OK, BUT... I hooked up my CX-3300HP w/ dual finals with a 10A PS, and it wipes the floor with my poor little(big) Saturn. It has been converted to 11 meter (ssshhhh), and it gets good feedback, but today when...

    Galaxy Saturn modulation problems

    Then you would love to get ahold of my Dak IX! I bought it off of eBay and when I got it, it has something rolling around inside the case so I opened it. It was a mess! The inside was gutted and a mobile radio installed. The tube side looks like someone tried to make an internal tube amp. BUT...

    Galaxy Saturn modulation problems

    Hey liquidh8, congrats on the radio repair. I have a question. I own a Saturn (non Turbo), with an EPT36001OA board in it. Do you have any tips, tricks, or mods that I can do myself? I bought an M80 Modulator for it, and the instructions that came with it says the installation point is R285...

    Let me start by saying "What an awesome job"! You certainly take pride in your repairs. I applaud your neatness, and ingenuity. I wish I knew more about radios, so that I might do the same. Please let me know when you do write this up. I am really wanting to attempt this mod. Although I...

    Galaxy Saturn frequency problem

    My bedroom is about 74 degrees, and even if it is on for and hour, if I shut it off for more than 30 seconds, it happens. It shouldn't drift that much, should it?

    Galaxy Saturn frequency problem

    Hey guys, I know, I am starting to be a pain in the donkey. :unsure: But, I have a little problem, I think. Well, before I get to that, let me just give everyone an update on my Dak IX. :bdh: I soldered the coax shielding, and fixed a few cold solder joints, and a wire that had broken off a...

    DAK IX HELP!!!!!!

    They are Sylvania tubes, and the top number is 24JE6A, and the bottom number is 24LQ6. They are identical tubes. As far as what I paid for it? I paid $100 with free shipping. :oops: I think I got screwed! Anyway, I might take my Galaxy Pluto that I just got, or my Connex 3300HP, and put it...

    DAK IX HELP!!!!!!

    Variable switch on side After looking at it, and calming down, it looks to me that the variable switch is for variable power. I think this was hooked up to na amplifier at one point. The rest of the stuff, I am still working on. I just freaked out when I opened the case. The tubes look ok, as I...

    Bleed over for Solarcon (Antron) A-99

    Well, that would depend on what is considered multiband? I run a Dak IX, (sorry for the typos earlier ie IV), for a base 90% of the time, but I also have a power supply to run either my Galaxy 88, or my Connex 3300HP, and I want to get my Ameteur Radio license for atleast 10 meter. I usually...

    Bleed over for Solarcon (Antron) A-99

    That's what people were telling me to do with a 2 liter bottle, and one person suggested a 4" pvc pipe. I have gotten so many different things said, I am getting confused. Now, if I get some of those ferrite chokes, at the inner diameter for the LMR-400, the antenna feed is at the coax/antenna...

    Bleed over for Solarcon (Antron) A-99

    OK. Because I am ignorant to the whole choke thing, I did a Google search, and downloaded the PDF of "Understanding how a torroidal ferrite choke works". I am not "lost", as I do have a limited understanding of basic electronics. I stopped reading at the end of the first paragraph because I am...

    StarDuster Antenna ??? Anyone know?

    Thank you. A few people had told me that it is a Hustler folding antenna, with an interchangeable resonator. The resonator that is on it, is for 10, and 11 meter. I get a perfect 1/1.1 match on all channels in 11 meter. All of my exports have been converted, so I can't check 10 meter. Under what...

    Bleed over for Solarcon (Antron) A-99

    OK, IF I got this correct, over modulation(a.k.a. someone that that likes to be heard like they are shouting, but they are whispering) will be a constant problem regaurdless what situation you are in, especially neighbors. I like modulation at about 90%, so that the radio can handle the output...

    Bleed over for Solarcon (Antron) A-99

    Because it is not installed yet. I am still waiting on the antenna. IF IT EVER GETS HERE. DAMN DEADBEAT EBAY SELLERS!!!! Second, Thanks for the advice, but when I run power, I always turn my mic gain to half way. Thanks
