Hi MOOFARMER, And welcome to the forum!
The FCC had some reservations about the system when skycommand was first introduced. However, Kenwood has since gotten the full goahead on skycommand II and it works beautifully
Well, I took the plunge into skycommand. I have an tmd710a as the transporter , TS480hx for the HF side and use a kenwood thd72a or tm d700 in mobile.
So far, Im loving the versatility and usefulness of this setup. It has freed up so much time to talk on HF. I DX while exercising, bike riding...
I run an MXL990 on my ts480HX. Right now it is just going directly to the radio. But I will be adding some processing and EQing later, but for now, It sounds Great!
Ok, I was in a hold pattern all winter due to weather.......but this weekend was nice, and I worked all weekend on building the antenna and putting the tower and accessories together. Good news is the quad is mounted and the tower is vertical. Bad news........The brand new Imax I bought had a...
No one is in North Korea to work.......Legally anyway. Their Govt has made it illegal for anyone to own or use a radio. Yet DXCC refuses to take them away as an entity. I know many hams who need just NK to get worked all entities and they will never get their because of it.
I have this nice linear Base Amplifier I do not use. Only issue is the preamp does not work. Using a stock cobra 29 woith the carrier lowered, the amplifier showed 100 watts swinging over 550 watts.
The amp looks a nice 8.5 out of 10. Works great. I installed new rectifier string, and rewired...
One of the most robust mobile amateur amplifiers ever made! Makes an Ameritron ALS-500 look like a kids toy! This amplifier comes with remote switch,foot switch, manuals/schematics, and all associated cables. It is in great shape 9out 10 and with only 60 watts in shows 600+ out on all bands...
Nice Icom 746 with original manual, Mic and pwr cord. Mars modded. Looks a solid 8.5 out of 10. Works perfectly. Only real blemishes are LIGHT scrathes and paint faded from power button and button number 5. Will Ship insured to lower 48 for $700

This radio is in Very Nice shape an easy 9 out 10. Works like it should, and is just a fun radio. I see these on ebay for rediculous $300+ prices. But I dont like ebay and their garbage fees, so it is at a much lower Price!
$165 Shipped Insured
I am selling a radio I built about 4 years ago and that has served me flawlessly for those years.
This 2950 produces a true honest to goodness 600 watts. I used the amplifier off a connex 4300-400 (uses four 2879's) and am driving it with an RFX75 that has been throttled back to 50 watts...

I have a nice 321 sweep tube amp. I put a new rectifier/ heavy duty 110 cord and rewired internal fan. with a stock cobra 29 the amplifier easily produced 550 watts. The preamp does not work. I didnt check it, but its likely the small transistor. All other functions work. $250 Shipped to your door!
Just to give an Update. I modified the top two sections of the bx64 tower. Ill add pics this weekend. But essentially I welded a stronger top plate for the upper thrust bearing, removed the original rotor plate and welded a second thrust bearing plate 2 feet from the bottom of the top section...
The conduction angle does change in the transitor allowing for higher outputs. But the fact that the bias voltage drops due to heat, is what pushes these amps into class C when they get hot.
Monitor the current consupmtion and peak output when the amplifier is cold. Then, using the same...
