Any ideas if these CW tranmitters are ready to be used for 11 meter radio amplification right out of the box? I ask as I note they require a modification (ie. 28-29Mhz crystal) to be installed in the oscillallation board prior to their CW usage. Thanks!

I have a K30 and ran a Cobra 25 and Uniden PC122XL (AM/SSB). Quite frankly, you get what you pay for. I found the coax next to the PL259 was pinching itself and ultimately broke the center core. Homer's right about the coax. SWR's - Magnum recommends no more that 1.8 swr (check...

just paid $309 from H&Y tonight for a TS DX500, delivered

...and here we go again. Mine crapped out again after an half hour of air time. First reports were S9 into Texas. Clear modualtion. 55 watts out my meter barefoot. 1.2 SWR on the Gain-Master. Now under modulated (ALC again?) even though showing 55 watts meter. Also don't have...

Thanks Folks for pointing me in the right direction. Export model. Had to be something easy... funny how there are no reviews on the 78 for the now obvious reasons. Thanks again! 73's

Hi Folks, This is probably a very dump question that I have yet to have the "light" coming on. What is the difference between Icom's 78 and the 718? Both are listed on their website. Same weight, almost the same amount of memory, but the 78 is listed as about $100 more. Amateur...

Bummer. RCA has a one year warranty verses the other folks (ie Coppers) 60 day. If need be, Lowes also carries the same set-up for cheaper ($60). Much Luck!

Have the same controller and assoicated rotator for a Maco V-Quad. My controller was manufactured in 2008. My resister is actually covered in a partially shrink wrap link insulation which is soldered to Terminal #3 (the black wire -black/red/white combination- that the rotator wire...

Never owned an Imax, just reporting what I've learned (sometimes the ha$d way). Ran a A99 with no problems over one summer. Strapped a 10' conduit off of the second floor 8"x8" vertical beam holding up the porch. Antenna barely cleared the top roof ridge. DX with North America became...

PM sent.

Nice looking GSD! Tower too!

for once a husband wants to talk with the Boss!!! is the second radio a selling point for the wife to buy off on this??? after a few leg humpers trying to "chat" with her on air, she'll be right back to the cell phone. save for one good radio for the rig and if you can swing for a base...

:thumbup1: Nice work Larry. Bambo spreaders? Guess Jan heard about Copper's customer service as well and decided to make his own directional :w00t:

I have had two Magnum 257Hp's in the past six months so I think I can chime in here. I mostly DX and enjoy working all frequencies.... The first 257Hp only lasted a few minutes: I had expanded the frequency and turned up the modulation it inside the microphone first. *Initially the...

Thanks Mr. Klondike Mike, Been trying to QSL now into 44 Division for LITERALLY months now! Never had achieved a QSL yet, even though I know my mobile setup can do it from the Pacific Northwest. Now I know why it's not happening..... I'm trying to QSL the wrong time of day!!!! I...

Just curious as to which Workman power/swr meter is that? Much luck on your sale! Thanks!

KY Electronics will keep you slicked up!!!! My bad....

K&Y Electronics have them on sale time to time BTW.

Talk about that person having issues (ie. psycho). Thanks for all the responses. Will just use the manual I have and look at the updates on QRZ.com. 73's

Good Morning, Was able to score a ARRL Study General guide for the exam which changed last year. Am wondering if I am wasting my time studying for the General with this study guide or I should just buy the new guide. Are the tests very different from each other? Thanks in advance...
