the nr is now adjustable by 5 levels? the channel selector was the 1st thing to go nuts on my crt. starting to go on one of my k-po dx5000. i wonder if they have the same board. i was wanting to get a external mechanical S meter wired in.
K-po dx5000, Maas, Retevis, theres about 7 names on the same radio. Alinco is the only one wiith people talking about poor receive experience. it would be nice if they had variable nrc like an ares 2, or not quite as much suppression with the nrc. wondering if this was a problem exclusively seen...
27.345lsb almost every evening 20:00 to 22:00 (EST) guy calls it north shore radio club. northeast OH / northwest PA
edit: i tried to get them to change from lsb to USB when they recently changed from .335 to .345, due to Portugal skip
it's a clone of the anytone q5 with red display and knobs instead of buttons. i can't view pdf files on my telephone, ill see if i can find a technician that can look at it at cbtricks where they have the schematics. the only business i have inside a radio is for visual observation if something...
made contact with Florida from Ohio, the person in Florida wouldn't go to USB to get away from the noise. i just thought he was racist against upper sideband. i neglected to account for the signal's rotation
*i use upper sideband as much as lower sideband. that way my radio doesn't go out of alignment. too much of either could set it off frequency. (jk) *not reliable advice
k-po dx5000 radio. it has digital boxes for it's S meter. could a replacement "sweep" meter be wired in from an experienced technician? it's my base, so i wouldn't care if it was super glued to the outside of the case. best "throw away radio" i ever used.
about noon today, the skip went wild. only lasted about an hour. from northeast ohio, was hearing Columbus, Dayton, Michigan, and WV mixed up with everybody else in the country.
they will always be discovering parts of creation that were never previously known. years ago, folks didn't even know there was an atmosphere, let alone ionosphere. same as sprites over thunderstorms.
conditions were weak today in the buckeye, but got 17 contacts yesterday on the stock k-po 5000, all from around 555usb. San Marino to Brazil. best day i have had out of the 2 years i been on ssb. 25w doesn't stand much of a chance on 36-40 with all the people runnin heaters, unless i catch a...
voice can only get 2A, i set the roger beep tone to 10.00, and max time for the r.b. saw the 4A draw. i would have thought voice could have made the same. on the other hand, i do not whistle or yell at my microphone. thank you for solving this curiosity that had been festering a few of us...

got my 2nd k-po from Scott's. no alignment this time, bone stock. 1st contact was from ohio to Belize on 27,580usb. he reported 5x5 and right on frequency. 940ft above sea level, using astatic 636L mic, lmr240 to a99 @ 27ft. he made a custom invoice because i didn't want a k-po microphone...
a guy 25 miles away can't hear me on AM, he has 1 to 3 S units from me on ssb. ssb on ground wave should be good for double the distance, pending local interference. elevation also plays a major role.
LMR 240/400 for diesel wagon/base, several coats of liquid electric tape over the crimped connectors, never an issue. never more than 50w or 30ft length. buy once, cry once. the mobile applications see over 3,000hrs ( combined ) per year of 70+mph, sun, salt water on rust belt roads, etc. at...
