All quiet in the big bam. I'm not hearing any skip from anywhere lol.

We are ok. The hurricane didn't get us. We are just getting very heavy rain from the fallout and now our county is under severe flood watch for the next 24 hours. I did hear some talk on channel 20am this afternoon that a tornado was seen in Winston and Cullman counties, so I think they had some...

You guys crack me up

Talked with #1 in Detroit Michigan and Animal in Michigan, Talked with PaperClip. Talked with 518 Ontario, Canada late this morning on 20 AM.

Thanks, Exit. I did that when I was checking from pin 5 of the mic jack. Thought I had better check all pins, wires and traces.

Hey, Nomad. I checked pin 5 of the PLL with my scope (50mV 500ns) and observed 10 pulses going across my screen (1.85MHz) confirming that its not oscillating between 8v and ground and that the PLL is indeed in locked condition. Pin 8 is at 4.5v Your correct that the voltage at pin 5 is not...

All voltages are correct on TR-35. Thank you both for your input.

Picked up this unit at a garage sale for 7 dollars. It has no tx and would like to get it going because it is in excellent physical condition and has a very low serial number #60. When you key the mic, nothing happens. The green rx light stays illuminated and does not toggle to red or go out. I...

In the morning time, I talk to a buddy that has a Maco 7 element beam 55' in the air on the vertical. He lives in Columbus, Mississippi (just over the state line). I use a IMAX 2000 that sits on a 3 foot tripod just outside my shop door. We talk at 6am pretty much every morning when the noise...

I purchased mine on eBay. It was a used one from the US. Couldn't wait for the slow boat from China lol. I think I gave around 30 dollars for it.

The second thing is to purchase a DC blocker to save the input of your new analyzer. Yes, you can hook it up with your sampler. I have mine hooked that way, tied in with my scope.

I purchased one a couple of years ago. The very first thing I did was this modification so I could keep the very expensive trial bundled software so it would not lapse. Cheers!

Usually it's the mode switch that starts to break down that causes your problem. Do NOT use any kind of cleaner on it. I have also seen the 7558 tube not working correctly with the modulator circuit that pegs the needle hard. If you say your mode switch is ok, then try another final tube and see...

I purchased it in Atlanta, Ga. It is real Times Microwave LMR-400 not a knock-off.

They lied. I was talking to California on Friday,last and heard a poof. Smoked my 8 pill. When I checked my swr with my analyzer it read infinity. I undid my coax and that bakelite on the PL-259 connector was black and melted. Toasted the whole length of coax as well. My eight pill would do...

I have replaced my Times Microwave LMR-400 3 times in 2 years. It cost way more than the Belden RG-213/U but the Belden is good for 10 plus years of service. I will NEVER buy LMR-400 again EVER.

Yep. Triple 3 is his skip handle. All the locals call him BIGFOOT. He runs out of Jacksonville,Al He is just on the other side of coldwater mountain from me. We talk daily, so it may have been me in there. I have been working on some Galaxy radios the last few days and really like the old...

lol...got to speak with 808 again today. That's 2 days in a row!! worked 748 hit and run, car wash, 518 and ice water out of Chicago. Stray dog out of Delaware 420 and 211 in NY and a bunch down the eastern seaboard. Conditions were in and out quick, so you had to keep up!

Hey, 808. This is what I was using for my antenna while we talked. I even have a tower between my 4th and 5th elements lol...This thing is fixed pointing magnetic north and has a 1.03:1 match sitting as it is. I was using my Texas Ranger Elite mobile radio swinging 20 watts with my D-104. No...
