    Magnum 2000 resistor repair.

    Hard to say just for how long they were burning stuff up... But as of now it is outputting power on each setting, just not as much as the Palomar Skipper 350 is. For now just going to run the Palomar until I can gather enough parts and information to get the Magnum 2000 back in working order.

    Magnum 2000 resistor repair.

    Hello, The two amps came in today about half hour ago, and to be sure one of the amps wasnt too rusted inside, I had a peek inside, and by the looks of it, maybe it was fed with a bit too much power? Some of the resistors near the power level selector have been crisped up pretty well. I was...

    Small HF amp

    I checked into a net yesterday... It was on 16 LSB. The gentlemen said they do it every Thursday at 7PM Central. Mother Nature ran into the night so was able to check on in.

    Small HF amp

    Maybe next year I can bring back more of my radios from storage including that 23 channel Midland SSB. :) Someone at the time did etch into the chrome above the radio with their callsign, and I always leave stuff like that left on any radios I get. Unique history to each one.

    Midland 79-892... Funny you mention the 13-892. I still have that beauty coming up on 15+ years now. Found that bad boy in Manhattan Kansas at a thrift store for a whopping $10. :)

    Small HF amp

    for whatever reason, the modulation from the Midland 40 channel Cybernet radio struggles so hard... I recapped the whole radio and that did nothing for it lol. You have to yell into the mic for it to do anything. 1st radio I am gonna sell off once I get around to it lol.

    Feeler Post : Looking for Palomar Skipper / Cobra / Galaxy 200 or 350 XL amplifier or its variants.

    I set my old 146 GTL to 10 watts PEP on SSB, and I believe just under 2 watts AM deadkey doing no more than 8 watts PEP.

    Cobra XL-450 Amplifier

    Hope He is doing ok... Time goes too fast. I just got done buying the 350 variants for $200 a piece (including shipping). Maybe once I can actually get a bigger power supply I will try and buy that version... :)

    955hpc+, Toast?? Can't win for losing!!

    Glad your radio is ok. :) But as 9C1Driver suggested, set the SWR alert from 1.8 to 2.0. But from the get go, the amp being a 1x8, I still think that is just too hot even at 25 watts. Sometimes the SSB Audio is compromised. There is an article here on how to disable that first mosfet, then you...

    955hpc+, Toast?? Can't win for losing!!

    I honestly don't know. Always depends on who you get to fix it. There was an older video on a Stryker that mikesradiorepair did that comes to my mind. } And this one:

    955hpc+, Toast?? Can't win for losing!!

    I think pumping 25 watts into the KL-503HD is a bit much. Believe the amp still is a 1 mosfet driving 8. At any rate it probably zapped your Stryker. The Stryker alone being a 100 watt radio, that is more than plenty to just have the radio operate happily by itself and let mother nature do...
