Thanks.

Purchased this as an extra, but no longer need it. Was in-line once, with standard 11-meter wattage put through it. I'm asking $50.00 shipped.

Another useless export (in my opinion) without SSB. All of those channels on an AM only radio is just stupid and a waste.

99.9% of the folks on the receiving end would not hear any difference between these two amps. This whole Class-AB, AB1, B, C thing has really gotten out of hand over the years. Same deal between using glass vs. transistor. People will swear that glass is cleaner, better, etc because that's...

I'm assuming you're set on a tube amp as opposed to transistors? Is that the case? Although a mobile amp by design, the Texas Star DX-500V would be a nice choice. It's class-AB1 and does well on SSB and AM.

... and this is exactly why I won't give this mic the time of day to test. I was really dissappointed to learn this new mic was going to use this same POS casing. I love the audio of the 2018, but will not use the mic due to the sub-par casing.

Which version of the MS-500 do you have? The one with 1446's or the newer ones with 2290's?

Using a peaked/tuned Cobra 29-LTD, which amp do you believe would yield the best overall transmitting performance, a 2-pill 2879 or 4-pill 1446?

That 300P is a fine amp if not overdriven. Set DK to 1.5-2.0 watts and let it run. A single final radio is best for this amp, however I have used dual-mosfet radios with this too with success. If you could keep the radio PEP @ 25-watts or less, you'll be fine.

I actually have one of these I'm looking to sell. It has the adjustment dial on the front-top area right there, so you can adjust the modulation without flipping it over. It's brand new and only used for a few minutes. It didn't match well with my voice and my 2985-DX. I'd like to get...

Looks like you're interested in a straight 40-channel AM radio with SSB. That being the case, I'd like to recommend the Galaxy DX-979 instead. It's smaller and will perform a bit better. It has the Starlit display, which makes it nice at night.

Thanks for the responses all. It wasn't my intent to re-kindle any bad-blood or hard-feelings. I just saw that there was already and existing thread concerning Rednecks board, so I figured I'd use that instead of starting another topic. Again, thanks for confirming that the board is having...

... bumping an old thread, rather than starting new one. Rednecks site has been down/unavailable for many days now. For anyone that cares, does anyone know what's going on with the site?

Be prepared for a nice compact size, fully featured radio that has the noisiest receive I've ever experience, especially in a mobile installation. I am hoping this newer model takes care of that, but I'm fearful the only thing that's changed is the RFX add-on.

Out of the box, that stock 520-XL is going to be too hot to hit that amp. By default, the RM Italy amps only like really low deadkeys, like 1.5-2.0 watts. That 520-XL, I expect is doing 3 or 4 out the box.

I have that same radio, done up by Sparky. You have many choices to choose from in an amp. I've always used mine with an RM Italy 300P. I occasionally switch out to a TNT-350HD. I've used a TS-500V with great success too. It all depends on what you want to spend. The choices are really...

I need to jump in at Sparky's defense. A couple years ago, I ordered a 40-amp power supply. Al did not have it in stock. He called me on the phone, explained the situation and offered to send me the next one up which was the Pyramid 52-amp PS at no extra cost. Obvisiouly, I jumped all over...

I just purchased a couple of these to play around with. As far as tuning SWR on 11-meters, what exactly is it that I have to trim if required?

I'm about to mount a Wilson 5000 on the cab of my '07 Toyota Tacoma. It will be mounted towards the back roof of the cab, with the coax coming down between the cab and bed, underneath the body and up through a grommet on the floor of my back passenger side access cab. I'll be running a tuned...

Same here. If I can't browse around for some period of time as a guest, I don't bother and just move on.
