    New connex hp with 4 pills built in!

    i can't confirm that connex is releasing this, but i can confirm that another radio manufacture is -planning- to release a '4 pill' radio in the near future. i was told it would be a 400w radio.

    WOW FG BEST COMMUNICATIONS IS CLOSING

    chris holland is a good tech. i worked with him some time ago with an issue from a manufacture. we were both called upon to work together to help solve the issure. that is the only time i have talked to him, but i could tell from the few conversations we had that he is by no means 'fly by night'.

    SNR

    you have to remember that you will never get all the noise gone. after you reach a certain input level to the rxer the snr will not change even when a stronger signal is applied. you reach a saturation point. you state that before the preamp was added you had a snr of 28db (the signal was...

    Good company I delt with

    very good company we have bought several items from ridge for building business band systems. their hardline jumpers are a fraction of what a distributor charges for the same item. we have never been disappointed in anything we have purchased from them(lightning arrestors, hardline gnd kits, etc.)

    meter adjustment

    in that case, pick your techs carefully. some techs do complete by the book alignments and give their customers test result and 'check off' sheets.

    RCI 2950DX... Slight Carrier Problem on SSB ,,,,,

    i'm a little lost as to how everyone even knows you have a problem. you never said how you detected the carrier (what type of equipment you used) nor how strong the signal is. you did say a wattmeter can not detect it so it is not very strong at all. btw, i did not follow the last part about...

    Bird 43 Slugs

    you are exactly right, but moleculo was not refering to bandwidth as a ratio but as a frequency spread. i didn't realize that my reply to him was making it sound as if i didn't understand what was going on with these units, bandwidth, Q, etc. i was only stating that his thinking was off (and...

    Bird 43 Slugs

    actually the the 'A' slugs (25-60mhz) have the broader range. the elemements used for bird meters are basically directional couplers. the reason the 'A' slugs cost more is because the lower you go in frequency the higher the 'coupling factor'. directional couplers for lower frequecies must...

    Stryker Sr-440hp Review

    i guess all that is left now is some tests. as far as talking tech talk, that is fine but busine$$ talk is always much better. you can call me anytime, if i'm not out at a tower site or something, i'll be glad to talk to you. no, i don't think you are too straight forward. that is...

    Stryker Sr-440hp Review

    btw, i don't know what kind of equipment you may have or don't have, but i am set up here for pretty much any type of testing needed. i would be glad to do an unbiased test if necessary. this may be something hot, but being from a technical background you understand i have to wonder. i...

    Stryker Sr-440hp Review

    yes, i'd like to see some before and after test results for a radio (any radio). maybe i could even get your modification steps and test for myself. sinad, noise floor, adj. ch. reject, image reject....etc.

    Bird meter questions.

    i can believe it i can believe this. i have an ifr1600s and hp8920 and both claim accuracy of 10% for power readings. these were $20k+ each machines new. so if $20k+ machines have 10% accuracy then a $200 unit is doing damn good (if it is true). as for the price and capabilities...

    Galaxy 48t ?

    thumbs up the 48t is a good radio....as long as it is tuned and aligned properly. our biggest problem is unqualified techs getting in these radios and screwing them up. in fact one of my techs is working on one right now that was shipped in with less than desireable operation. from what he...
