I believe you are correct about them being ERF9530 (The amp I mentioned looking into is a Rocket Box HD500 MOS). At Walmart right now. When I get home I'll confirm it.

I just looked into an amp I also got from the widow that has 4 of the ERF9530s in it. It must be one of those adaptations. I won't use them, but I'd sell them cheap (as I said I would) if anyone is in the market. I just didn't know whether they are desirable.

Thanks. I'm asking because I came into some of these from a silent key widow. I promised to market them and wondered if they had any value. They seem pricey online. I have 10 of the ERF9530, 2 of the MRF300an, and 2 of the MRF300bn. I thought they were amplifier related as he worked on such...

Does anyone here ever use ERF9530, MRF300AN, or MRF300BNs? How useful are they?

Anyone interested in a Ubitx V6.1? (good unit, but I have another one I'm keeping) This one is already assembled, and works as advertised. It's virtually unused, tested it yesterday after it being stored for ~2 years. With an antenna in my attic I made a POTA contact on 14.252 with peak 3watts...

You have free time? BTW, nice choke core solution.

It looks great!

Building a working 11m antenna can be done in minutes. Example: One (1) 9' household extension cord. One (1) coax long enough to get back to the radio. Cut the female block off the cord, split the two wires apart from each other, and attach one end of the coax to the male plug prongs. The 9'...

"Peanuts, peanuts, get your peanuts!"

two things. 1. your powers of observation are intact. 2. a few minutes on SSB 11m will reveal that many 10m operators have switched over to 10m. they want to have more fun. :)

Btech UV-25×2 mobile on a power supply. Simple, and effective. Not expensive.

I have 2 of them. One in a go box, and the other in the shack. They have done well, easy to manually program, and work well with Chirp programming software. About a year ago I had to replace the one in the shack with something else, although it did not break down. Someone started using pagers in...

Ahh, what a deal. God knows how much we value him. "God go with you, greatheart."

The problem with the 108" is it's too long. Also, if it is a yagi you're building the driven element length is affected by the parasitic elements on the boom with it, their diameters, the spacing between, and proximity to the earth, and other influential structures nearby. Some of these same...

Two of my seven HTs are GMRS/FRS only.

Makes sense. OTOH, 'sun' spots effect the conditions that promote propagation, and the 'sun' (solar) storms are effecting the conditions that are stifling propagation. So, I, unfortunately, still find this solar cycle to be terrible so far for radio. When -if- it gets better before it ends l...

Thanks for the review. I do not have this HT, but I do own the first generation that some, it is said, "sent back". I did not send mine back. It works well, easy to program, l get good reports on the audio, it has respectable volume, seems of good weight in my hand, and has given me no reason...

I read that, too. Whether it's true or not, I don't know. I do know this cycle, so far, has been pretty weak by comparison to any others I've experienced. I'm not on the radio as much as I have been before, but when I can, the pickings are mostly slim to none. On all bands of interest to me, at...

Gotta catch them CMCs!
