Check out H&Y electronics, they have a web site..give them a call. The only place I would not recommend is GI Joe's radio electronics. The reason is I had a friend order from them..they don't provide tracking info..very slow to ship, paid for 3 day shipping and got ground a week and a half later...

It all depends on what you want. If it's a 20 plus year old design that has only been updated when absolutely needed due to lack of parts availability...go with the S9. It will work and even in some cases work well, but comparing it to a new 2950dx.... they are different animals. If you want...

Oh yes. It will do it. But keep in mind just because the tube doesn't start glowing red hot, doesn't mean that damage that you can't see isn't happening. Not trying to come accross wrong...just want you to enjoy your new amp for years to come is all. Just watch the grid and plate current and you...

Yeah but my guess it wasn't on a band where 2,000 people were all calling CQ CQ CQ DX this is suger bananna bread loaf delta xxx break break break all with 1000 watts of overmodulated stuff while trying to make that contact so there is some power and directional antennas warranted when we are...

Thanks, Jazz for the info.

That would be just fine. The texas star would cruise along just fine.

But Tony Tony Tony...what I'z want to know...is..are those maul watts or swing watts comin out of that amp?

RdGood deal. Now watch you grid and plate current. Pushing a single 3-500z to a kw is just that...pushing it especially up on 10/11 meters. But glad you went for this amp over the 811 variety. They are built heftier and better all around IMO. As far as keying it, I don't know how many people...

A couple things,.... yes, check the input SWR on the amp on the desired band and frequency you wish to operate on. I agree with that. Also, those amplifiers aren't meant to be ran really "Hard". The 811-A tube will fall off as you go up in frequency regardless of amp design, and specifically in...

That works... now depending upon the amount of physical RAM you have, turn off the swap file if you're using windows, or at the least, set it to a fixed size to keep it from constantly expanding and then shrinking which causes fragmentation. I personally like to use two drives, one for the OS...

Yeah, I wasn't trying to start a debate, just saying that we got a great deal on some of them for very cheap (15.00 each) and it warranted trying them out, and most of the guys use a handful of frequencies and have made DX contacts using them as well as pretty impressive DX work for what we all...

Well, SWR is only part of the equasion, remember a dummy load gives you a perfect SWR, but SWR tells us nothing of how well an antenna radiates, and in fact in MANY situations an antenna that exhibits a low SWR over a wide range of frequencies usually is not an efficient radiator. Check out...

Just a quick post to see what others have to say. To start off, I have pretty much always used a Wilson 1000 or 5000. A couple antenna gurus that I met back a few years ago did antenna modeling in several spects of the Wilson 1000 and 5000 vs. a lot of the other CB antennas that were out on the...

K40 not bad at all! I would use one! Just a quick post to see what others have to say. To start off, I have pretty much always used a Wilson 1000 or 5000. A couple antenna gurus that I met back a few years ago did antenna modeling in several spects of the Wilson 1000 and 5000 vs. a lot of the...

Create a good "virgin" image, all drivers, all updates / patches, etc. Load up the software you want, and your files, and STOP there. Get an old drive put it in an external enclosure, and CREATE AN IMAGE. You can use norton ghost, or if you want a freebee, Drive XML works pretty good as well...

Just lock in the clarifier if you really want to, but don't add a "super diode" or a choke in series with the varactor. It will be impossible to fine tune that way. Usually all clarifiers can be locked in by disabling the TX voltage to the fixed TX frequency adjustment, and then removing the RX...

DTB would be a good choice. I would second that recommendation. I have personally seen his work, and it's pretty good.

It could be a variety of things, without knowing your troubleshooting skills, or the equipment you have to do the troubleshooting, you are kind of just "throwing parts at it" in hopes it will work. Trace out the RF, and check your voltages. 10 out of 10 times doing this you will find it...

That works then! Look at this this way, you'll have all of 10-12, and a pretty good radio after you both get your ticket. Also, in the future, if you guys ever get HF radios with 2 meters built in as well, or even a couple of 2 meters radios opened up for MURS, you will love using VHF for house...

Ron, I have to ask... how does one "pollute the band with harmonics". A harmonic would be a multiple of the fundamental frequency, so therefore it wouldn't be polluting "the band" with harmonics. Ok, I'll admit I was being a bit picky, but you get the idea. Ok, now, you can do through all of...
