Lou is good with breaking down things in a simple way that's easy to comprehend. His Uniden export service manual was awesome good stuff when you could not jump on the web and find things in 30 seconds ,same with later Galaxy manual. Channel guard, speech processor's, amp instructions with...

There's a thermal compound called Liquidmetal that is a problem, I ran into this stuff doing work on computers. Upside,it has fantastic thermal properties. Down side, it's liquid, really it's a liquid so if you over apply it it will actually migrate across the heatsink spreader and it's really...

Please understand that English is not Mike's first language, I don't think his intentions are to be snarky, he has a great track record here of helping people...... 73 Jeff

The 667 used a single 2290 to drive 4 2879 transistors. Later models used two mosfets in place of the 2290. If your amp has a 2879 as a driver it has been modified. We have to remember that these were " designed" for older radios that struggled to reach 3.5-4 watts output with 12-16 watt peaks...

I run a AT-200 Pro with a CRT 9900V4 on 10-12 with no issues, you tuner should handle 15 with a little reduced efficiency. 73 Jeff

By trial and error. One issue is that HG uses the same lot number for everything, crusher has reported at least 3 different tunes. It's not like the Toshiba transistors that you could roast half of a 16 transistor amp, replace the dead ones and go on ..... Toshiba had lots time to perfect the...

When the band is long, it's long. I often have difficulty working Nevada , Idaho and Oregon, and Southern California is often a challenge as well. I need "short skip" conditions to effectively work those places. Phil in Nevada ( he's now over on the coast) was a rare contact for me, even when we...

Interesting thing my brother sent me this morning. Anyone playing with this? 73 Jeff

I don't know, I have zero experience with these antennas, I know he was running one on his jeep, that was the one posted on YouTube. This is work in progress, if I hear more I will update. 73 Jeff
