    RM Italy KL 703 Tech Special - Hopefully Minor Problem

    My fault - Left station hooked up on a day it wasn't even supposed to rain. This one cloud comes by with some lightning in it and I must have taken a little finger strike to the antenna. Antenna, power supply and mobile radio - all no damage .... but the 703 was affected. I am just tired of...

    Yay !! KL 703 Hit By Lightning. Low Output

    I'm thinking it was a stray finger strike through the antenna and not the AC side. Power Supply and mobile radio hooked up suffered no damage.

    Yay !! KL 703 Hit By Lightning. Low Output

    One single cloud came by but did have some lightning in it. Was busy cooking dinner and let it ride. Took a hit. There was a brief burning smell. Was not turned on. Power supply and radio fine. It comes on but has low output. Will only key 20 and swing 100. Nothing looks burned. The 4 internal...

    Icom IC-746pro VFO skipping

    I've had 1 Pro (wish I still had it) and several diff orig. 746's and still use one now. Never had the Dial issue with any of them. On your Pro, don't forget to go into your Settings and Widen the SSB TX Bandwidth out. Will improve your audio-out.

    RM Italy KL 503 HD - Anybody ever use?

    Old Thread. Actually made a buy a couple of months ago - was still considering the 503 but the only Usual Suspects Dealer that carries them was Out of Stock. They did have some 703's so took one of those. Extremely happy with it.

    Klein CL390 AC/DC 400A Auto-Ranging Clamp Meter

    Reviewing this here as we radio folk may wish to have the ability to read DC Amps being pulled by rigs and things like 12V amplifiers. Direct Reading DC Clamp Meters aren't new but are a more modern type with these stand-alone units being AC only in the past. I saw this one being used by a radio...

    Yaesu FT1000D 11m Mod

    But not ALL ham radios. The Icom 7300 and many of the Right-Now better rigs with all the various onboard adjustments it comes with sound great on AM. There are others too. If you have the big bucks, the Apache Labs ANON Series SDR radios produce Broadcast Quality AM and kick everything out...

    Supply chain issues affecting the hobby continues

    But then you have to clean the WD40 off or you're smearing oil all over your windshield. I clean the wipers with RainX while I'm applying a new coat of RainX to the glass. . At a local store they have a Purpose-Built Cooler for 7Up drinks. It was relatively new and worked fine for about 6...
