Yeah, I loaded mine up with filters too...I've got another 2.3 khz SSB filter, and two 500 khz for CW and RTTY work...all Kenwood. They say the Inrad filters can run rings around the stock Kenwood filters...what's been your experience? I'm pretty impressed with the Kenwoods...

Yeah, that's what I thought. Heck, one of the CW filters in that rig is worth the export....

Get it. Period. PS. TS450 owner (same rig) for 14 years. No failures of any kind.

So what's your point?? I'm part Polish AND Catholic AND a Southerner to boot. Do you think I get insulted at Polish, Catholic, or Redneck jokes? No...I laugh right along. I may be a "moronic idiot", but I pride myself that at least I am not from the "nation of the offended". Some...

Ok...that too!

I'm declaring tomorrow "National Bring a Straight Dude to Work" Day.

PC alert!!! PC alert on Aisle 12!!! Everyone remain calm while we contain the situation....

Worldwidedx's FCC/ARRL forum is one the few places where people can go and discuss things in an open forum without getting beaten over the head with dogma. And all those ARRL press releases really makes me not want to participate...there's plenty other places on the internet where I can find...

Yeah, get a set of dental picks, some small jewelers screwdrivers, a 10x magnifier, and about a weeks worth of evenings....you'll have that stuff in your teeth, your hair, up your nose...

Guys, he's talking about the exciter and PA stages inside the radio....not a transceiver/amplifier combination. There's a really good Drake board on Yahoo with some top notch techs: DrakeRadio : Drake Radios I did a quick search on the Forum for "ALC" and came up with this: "The most...

Nope, I don't think that's it. I sometimes have to log in multiple times in a single session. I can log in, begin composing a great lengthy, incisive treatise on the way the world is and how it should be :lol: and be brought back down to the level of mere mortals as soon as I hit the "submit"...

Why is it that after getting to the site, the first time I browse thru the posts I have to log in...and find one I want to reply to and hit "Reply"...type out my reply and hit "Post" and then....have to log in again...??? Is there some sort of time limit (like 5 minutes or something) where I get...

Unplug. Lift off the cover. Bleed off the HV with an insulated shorting stick. Put both hands in your pockets. Look inside the power supply section...see any goop running out from the capacitors? See any carbonized diodes? Smell anything burnt? Great thing about HV is that when something...

Well, let's see. Great things our grandfathers used to say. Like "Son, when you get my age, you'd wished you hadn't passed on all the pu#@y you thought was ugly." Funny and odd things that happen in taxicabs at 3 am in the morning...hookers, druggies, and all around weird people. And...

I'm very sorry for what was discussed. But some of it was too funny to pass up!!!

Something that shocked the crap out of me (pardon the pun) is how a person is able to THINK in that millisecond it takes for the voltage to go in and out of you. I once got into a Yaesu amp (FL2100???) and as the voltage went in my left index finger, up my arm, across my chest, down my other...

Yeah, I was just researching the feeding of this beast. Best I could come up with was this: Guardian Elite 150kW 6.8L Commercial Generator QT150 I hope he's running some storage between the generator and amp...I could just see the situation where the amp keys, the generator drops RPMs and...

60,000 watts swinging 100,000 watts equals WWWAAAAYYY too much audio.

Well, usually I have a 2.5KW generator to provide power. That's big enough for a 3 or 4 station Field Day setup, yet small enough for one man to lug around. Sometimes gasoline engines are not allowed where I go, so I also have a LARGE storage battery to use in those cases. For antennas, a...

The funniest three was A) when Chris, Peter, Stewie, and Brian are sitting in the living room and decide to have a contest and take Syrup of Ipecac. The last one to puke won. B) or when Brian ate Meg's hair pie. C) or when Quagmire keeled over in the driveway when he overheard Lois...
