wait, you guy are pushing that much power into a low drive amp?

the shells look pretty nice now. still screams "rattlecan" but ya know what? thats better than screaming cigarette tar

took 100pf across c42 and c46, changed r43 to 4.7ohm. threw a HG 2sc1969 into this, replaced the nylon screw with a allenscrew and insulator. the slug got removed. now im getting a little over 10.5 MFJ watts rms and around 30 MFJ watts peak. without the NPC mod the dk is 9.5 so im gonna build...

bezel is back on, new switches, one of them currently sporting 3 wires for a channel kit. starting to look like somethin.

so im gonna bring this back because.....observations. i have an EDZ about 20' up flatside between trees. i have heard maine off of the end of the antenna (most flatside gain being broadside to the west coast) which tells me i am doing a little cloudburning because i skip right over them and most...

i have something like 20 24n40s and on the transistor tester the rdson figure definetly varies between them and the rocketbox fets. its higher on the rb fets. so my suspicion is that they pick these oddballs out of large lots of 24n40s and charge for it. the part number IS correct however...

epoxy paint will make ya wicked smaht if you fire it off in an enclosed area

this isn't the only 25 im restoring, got 2 89 phillies that are getting this same level of resto. saved from the junkpile

everythings a deeper shade of blue than the camera picks up

oooo pretty

face moves

for the sh1ts and giggles i picked it off the pile and started messing with it. I was gonna recap and do some hotrod mods and leave it as an ugly ratrod, but after I had a safety meeting with my old man this last weekend, the face/bezel got disassembled, sanded the bubbling chrome off the bezel...

bout to do a mosfet on a 25gtl. just sanded the bezel and hit it with self-etch primer and vht expoxy paint, took magwheel polish to the faceplate to shine it up. so i find that to do an NPC-RC mod cleanly with a mosfet, i find that biasing is needed. using hard resistors inplace of the...

so we are allowed to tx between 160-190 khz longwave per part15 regs, so i had an idea to get SSB mode capability there, even though the rules state 1W INPUT to the final, and i will pay for the linearity, i'm going for it. a 27.000mhz local oscillator (raltron 4 pin vxco) feeds a SA602 mixer...

just did a grant with the same board. so, 18-22k is what you want in there.

the HG 1969s in my experience aint too bad. those galaxy boards will take a dually mod just fine, you just have to gainmatch the finals and go off of the schematic of a dually rig. is it worth the money/time/hassle? well, depends on your levels of sentimentality of that particular rig, and what...

16v cap at c71 will work. what that cap does is controls the release of the AMC limiter so a smaller value makes it more reactive to the peaks without continuing to clamp down on gain after it passed

when you drop the DK the thermal concerns aren't much of an issue with a FET, even though I run a resistor to the 8vtx line to bias em for a more clean swing. the dk will heat the final up more than anything, and yea, I dont add a mere 10-20 peak watts to just drive an antenna, the reason for...

the cleanest way i've found is the TIP120 type of rc mod, and run a 4.7k from +8v tx line to the gate to bias the final a lil

after using it for a bit, i can say YES BUILD ONE getting west of the rockies from new england was a challenge before, seemed like people in texas and the midwest were blockin me out when i was tryin to shoot that evening skip. now im right up there with em all for a piece of ladder line and a...
