I'm not sure what brand of antenna it is. I have asked that question before forum.worldwidedx.com/viewtopic.php?t=3916&highlight=and got close to an answer, but I believe someone took more than one antenna to put this one together. It has some charateristics of more than one kind. I never got...

EBAY!

Has anyone done this mod before and if so how well did it work? "I'm sure most of you know that when you turn down your dead key using VR-10 you also turn down you peak swing. Well I've developed a simple method to enable full power swing from any power range. All you need is a 1N4001 diode...

Thanks for the link Freecell. Some good information you have there. ED

Actually this was done for testing purposes only and will not be the normal operation setup. I wanted to test the power supply that I built for a continuous load. The power supply has done fine so far and the load was around 126 amps. I plan on putting up a Lightning 4+ by Signal Engineering...

Hey Freecell, My 1600 is producing 1200 watts dead key with around 100 watts of drive. Do think that I should be seeing more output? I have not put the amp on a pep meter yet as I'm sure I'll see more output on it. ED

Thanks for all the nice comments. I now have the DX399 put together and mounted in the cabinet also. I’ll try to get some pictures taken and added to the album today. The 1600 is producing around 1200 watts dead key. ED

Here’s a link to my newest homebrew project. This amp will be used with my homebrew power supply in the earlier post. The cabinet that I used is a decommissioned Harris television transmitter remote control cabinet. My dad retired from this television transmitter site and has a lot of neat stuff...

Hey Linearone, Glad you like the power supply project. I haven’t done much to it since I got up and running. I need to get some metal to finish the sides. But I have built an amplifier to go along with it. I just fired it up for the first time this weekend. It is a rack mounted Sweet Sixteen...

I am looking for any Texas Star DX 400, 500 or 667 old parts (transformers,combiners,boards,etc). Thanks, ED </p>

I have a RCI 2950 that I bought back in ’95 and I used it for a couple of years with good service. After that I kind of got out of radios and it sat in the closet until now. Recently I have been blowing out the dust and firing stuff up. It seems the 2950 has developed an intermittent. When the...

I would like show everybody my home brew power supply. I got the plans out of a '94 ARRL Handbook. I think the supply was originally for about 15 amps. I decided to upscale it a bit. Instead of using four 2n3055 pass transistors I went with thirty. It has a Miller 400 amp welding machine...

I am looking into buying a transistor tester. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on a brand and model. I would like one that will be able to test output transistors in the circuit without removing the transistors. If anyone has any ideas let me know. Thanks, ED </p>

Can anyone tell me what brand of antenna I have here? I also need the setup manual for it. It looks similar to Maco V5/8 but it has an aluminum stub instead of the wire for the matching device. It also does not have the ground plane radials. The loop is 11" in diameter. I have tried to use the...

A few months ago I bought a new Signal Engineering Lightning 4+ on Ebay. After looking at how the antenna is built I am a little concerned about the plexiglass mounts for the tuning stubs. My concern is how much UV protection do they have, considering that they will be exposed to the sun. I plan...
