Robb can you adjust you're power supply, like a variac, and bring the voltage up slowly and see if you're able get some testing done? It may work or it could trip even on low voltage.

You notice someone there ready to shut it off. Man you get your hand in that you're gone If no one to shut it off.

Look up Comet CF416W You can hook it up either way. 1.3-250 one side 390-1400Mhz the other. If I'm understanding the op question right. I need more coffee Yep, tired I see the 2m desire on the other.

Depends on the radio. Ive used that technique on SSB cb and works fine. Don't want to spend .99 there's always the free version. Better than a whistle

You can use a tone on SSB and see what your swr is or reflected watts if that meter supports it. I'm not sure about that meter, if it show reflected or just swr. You could whistle, but you may not be able to sustain it properly, or like me I don't have good whistle tone. I use Tone Generator pro...

Do you use your Flex 5000 on AM with the Acom, if so, what's your thoughts on that? I'm in the market, looking at some refurbed Alpha 89, 99 or the Acom 1000. The new 1500 is a bit more than I want to spend. I was thinking of the Ameritron AL-1200 but I don't see any where that it's listed as...

Wouldn't the teeth be a good thing to leave on, like a star washer that digs into the paint and metal to make good contact to bond it to the body?

It's one of the pluses I like about UPS and FedEx is the online tracking and it's kept pretty well up to date. Both are good in my area. USPS is so slow I'll have the package a day or two before it shows on the site other than the acceptance.

It seems as stable as any of the XL's I've had. 980 is a nice radio. I'm personally not concerned with extra channels, it'll be a neat rig if someone figures that one though. I emailed them about anyway to disable or quiet that beep. I did get a reply from them. They said no.

I guess I'm the only one that doesn't splatter with an Xforce??? Hmmm Then mine are 6 years old

I've had good success with Xforce, Dave made class c for AM. Just don't overdrive them and they're fine. I've had good luck with RM as well. A 203 on a Uniden XL was nice and clean, just don't over drive them. I've had a few Texas Stars, but I found out quickly they don't like much carrier or...

Search web SDR as well. You'll hear live ham radio. Some sites ask for a call sign though I doubt it's necessary. You'll see a band scope water fall as well. Pretty neat.

The sweetest sounding modern HF rig I've heard on the AM groups is the Flex 5000A. It sounds as good as any plate modulated AM Collins, B&W, Johnson etc.... If maybe not even a little better.

Ah, good point. I was thinking in thirds. I could see that happening closer, but that's some splatter that distance at 6 MHz

Isn't that second harmonics, maybe third? You really have to splatter to cause it.

One of the guys that used to cut my hair on the east side of Indy has a nuclear card. I was mentioning the most famous used shot of the detonation you see movies etc of the blast in the middle of the different war ships in the sea, he was one of many they had on the outer ships that you see...

I actually made reference as a joke hence imocon. I paid $49 for my sears and $39 for a tberry basic 23 channel. Since you included cb section of availability including exports I assumed you were including quality. So the only apples to apples is pocket book. On the AM side of cb, most of...

I was to on the price. In the earlier 70's when I was into cb all I could afford was the rad shack stuff or Sears. My uncle had the Johnson's and Brownings. When I was much older and good pay, I could still buy a SSB radio like the Rangers or Uniden XL cheaper than the AM Brownings I wanted. Now...
