Thats how I seen it as well. Not sure whats up with the I understand deal statements. The question I wondered is HOW do you enter? Is it automatic? Its says you MAY ENTER but does not explain how.

I guess I was mistaken about my old 2970N4 receiving better. The guy that bought from me had to take a trip this way for work and stopped by with it, they are both the same hash crap. Its only 38 miles. Anyway, I guess I am use to this more modern stuff that I have now. As far as the 2879's go I...

Also note the red dots are just made of a safer material and do contain beryllium. Either build with the same specs but the non red dots cool better because of the beryllium. You can even mix them, I have done that many times if the HFE is similar. Lot numbers with Toshiba does not seem to be a...

I am on 37lsb right now.

The first test was to far off, tuned at 29.7. It was just a quick and dirty test, I just poked 6 gauge though some boxes and grounded it to the tin roof. Now I am directly in the Texas sun so I called it quits until Friday when I have free morning time. Anyway, its a working antenna as far as...

You can buy them a ICA along with many other amp building items.

I have more then five posts so I guess I am in????

Glad to read you are going for your ticket!!!! Once you pass the tech take the general even if you dont think you are ready, if you pass those two take the extra as well.

I am going to build this, perhaps today even as I dont feel like working on this HG box right now. I have a 32x20 lean-to with a metal roof that connects to my Radio shack.

It was the late 70's must have been about 7-8 years old, my Dad got a Lafayette Telsat 924 23 channel base station with ground plane on the chimney. When my Dad and Mom went out I was not supposed to talk on it but I always convinced the babysitter to let me. Someone local always busted me out...

I normally start with 560pf on the input transformer and 1000-1150pf on the output transformer. Output tune caps 140pf-150pf input tune caps 120pf-ish. Variable caps really help with this then install fixed after you get the tune right. 10 and 100 ohm resistors stay the same as do the 120pf...

I really like the 160M band!!! You really have to be pretty dedicated if you want to talk there due to the antenna length issue. I use a multiband 572 foot loop fed with 600 ohm up at 50-70 feet.

I like to match my voltage when I stack them, I would think there might be issues if you dont. MegaWatts are nice units.

Amazon for most of my stuff but I still use eBay a lot as well.

Hello, I have searched and cannot find a receive mod for the 2970N4. If its there I dont find it. I had one years ago and sold it but I dont remember the receive being so bad, its not even close to my AT quad 6. Is there any mods out there????? Also it has some blacked out 2sc2879's and the...

Really enjoyed reading this post. Lots of great info given to help you get this buttoned up. I am a DIY guy too. I love to get junk amps for cheap and work on them every now and then. I have learned a lot from this tinkering since the late 80's in my high school days. I am still not a pro...

Thats nice Bud!! I mean Bud like Buddy!! Right!!

Nice set-up!!!! For the money that rat shack meter works really good and it covers a lot of power. The SWR is on the money with my MFJ. I got a second one because of its size to mount permanent in my mobile. The meter is a little small but it works well.
