    Base New Vertical base antenna suggestions

    I have base antennas that have not been marketed yet. True 5/8 wave, similar to V58, but better in several ways. They are $155 plus shipping. I can tell you more if interested. SL

    Radioddity QT40

    I have said this before on this forum. I have ALL of the Radioddity 10m SSB radios. There is some mojo going on in the QT-40 receiver. Let's forget about the cost, which is undeniably cheap, for what it is. It really has a nice receiver and the feature set, simply blows everything else in its...

    Radioddity QT40

    I have had one a few years now. I don't use it often, but when I do, I am amazed at how well it works and what it would have been like, to have something like it 40 years ago. SL

    jrc jst-135

    Interesting company. They were based out of NY, unlike most of the other Japanese companies on the west coast. There was a place rather close to me called Gilfer shortwave. They were the prime dealer of JRC around here. The guy that worked there, actually went to work for JRC, as I saw him at...

    DX2517 EDP690010Z Low RF Power First Time Posting. Really need some HELP,INPUT

    A scope is not going to do it. You need to sniff the oscillator, so a spectrum analyzer or sensitive frequency counter is what you need. Try touching the probe to the can of the crystal

    Craig Brand CB Radio Question

    The FCC really screwed a lot of manufacturers when they imposed a deadline to sell off any remaining stock of 23 channel radios, simply because the new compliance specs were not met. The one that really hurt us here in the NE US, was Lafayette. That FCC mandate, put them out of business...

    DX2517 EDP690010Z Low RF Power First Time Posting. Really need some HELP,INPUT

    Either your carrier oscillator crystals have drifted out of tolerance with age, or as others have said here, you are loading them down. I use a spectrum analyzer with a scope probe to sniff (no contact) the oscillator for highest level and adjust frequency error accordingly.

    Big switching power supplies - what's the forum favorite?

    Genuine MeanWell, maybe genuine Delta.

    Now this is odd!!!

    Take a look at the microcontroller on the rear of the PCB. Is it a genuine Atmel? Or some other thing that has the part number sanded off or remarked? There are many fakes now that use the APT32F172K8T6, which will not run the code for the Atmel. The code that runs is forked garbage and these...

    DX2517 EDP690010Z Low RF Power First Time Posting. Really need some HELP,INPUT

    I offered him some tested (in a radio) CB-20W's. Apparently, Zelle is not in his vocabulary, but he didn't bother to respond.

    142 low transmit

    Driver gain seems low. Typically higher than final when good.

    LesComm Radios

    Was there a judgement? On another note, I recently had to interact with him, when a customer's radio ended up here, with a LesComm channel kit in it. It was in a baggie inside the radio. After much testing and troubleshooting, I determined, that he screwed up the programming of the...

    You need real parts. Do you have a source? If not, I do.

    DX2517 EDP690010Z Low RF Power First Time Posting. Really need some HELP,INPUT

    I highly doubt, those fakes came from RF Parts, like not a chance. I buy from RF Parts, because I KNOW, I won't be getting fakes. I won't buy from ePay, Scamazon, Aliscamma etc. If it comes from China, 99.99999% sure it is fake.
