I have a Carlbuilt 400hd (SSB bias) that I run on 14.5 volts driving it with a AT-5555n ii ( 70 watts peak). With a 4 watt dead key I get about 80-100 watt DK swing to 550-600 peak (bird) with crystal clear modulation. Very happy with my Carlbuilt amp. Looks like his shop is back open with a...

Yes, I saw that.

Anyone know where I can purchase a replacement whip for my Sirio performer 5000(trucker) or a suitable replacement. 71" long.

Yes, there is no problem. I just want to try a dynamic type microphone

Thanks for the reply. Scotts radio also confirmed this.

I will check again. The stock mic that comes with the radio is an electret type microphone(voltage is present on the audio pin). So if you use a non-electret type or a power microphone you need to turn off this voltage. if not; you could damage the mic and or radio.

I'm not sure the Mckinley has a menu? or is it hidden?

Is there a way to change the microphone type on the Mckinley radio from electret to dynamic?

Thanks Eddy, I will keep you updated. Hpefully I can get this antenna in the air before the snow arrives. Thanks again my friend. 73's

No you never did . Not too bad lower 50's

Thanks Eddie, this gives me a real good starting point. This antenna is not too complex so I won't try to brain storm this project. I owe you cold beer or maybe a nice cranberry juice...lol. Thanks again my friend

Sure does..thanks a bunch. Take your time...no hurry. Good hearing from you.

I want to thank all of the gentlemen and ladies (if applicable) who chimed in on this thread. It was a wonderful read. I too purchased a 15 meter MFJ moxon. I will use this on 11 meters (27.205) but I will try to scale the 15 meter model down to 11 meters rather than using the calculator. I will...

I have begun the process of breaking down some of my old amps(Made in the 1990's) that I do not plan to run anymore. All my amps have authentic toshiba 2SC2879 transistors that were made in Japan. The only thing I can guarantee is that these are authentic Toshiba 2sc2879's made in Japan and that...

My station was setting off all the alarms at a local car dealership. Well the local police came to investigate this every Sunday morning or when ever I "pumped up" for DX talking. The Fcc considered this hindering emergency service because the police were chasing phantom alarms at the...

Again thanks gentlemen. I really appriciate all of the input. The President Mckinley seems right up my alley. Again this is just to get my feet wet. And I do not want to piss off my neightbors. I just want a good sounding radio that does not drift and needs no modifications to use on 11m and is...

Thanks for all the replies. I do not have my ticket(As of yet). So a ham rig is out of the question(I do not want to deal a modified radio). I want to buy new. $300 is my limit. The President is right up my alley. I'm in the process of constructing my first slope dipole. So this is just get my...
