    Winter time, is when the clunkers come out. We have random clunker nights on 16 LSB in my area. Preferably 23 channel SSB radios, but some 40 CH's come on. The activity has dwindled dramatically since Covid lockdown resolved, but a few come around. In the past 2 months, I have dragged out the...

    I robbed the final and heatsink, VCO, audio amp chip and crystal filter. I believe it has a bad mixer IC also. I know I stashed the heatsink somewhere and the crystal filter did nt get used and I know where it is. I'd have to come up with a VCO and audio amp chip and bottom cover. Probably not...

    I have a 79-892 I used on 10m back in the day. It became a parts donor. I just picked it up and looked at it to see what it needs to operate again. Might not happen...I loved that radio in my car. No amp, Larsen mag mount and I could work JA's from the East Coast, during the cycle peak in the...

    In the photo, you can see the DDS is on 23.710. That injection freq is putting the radio on CH 38.

    I am on 16 LSB several times a week, as well as 36-40 with the DDS. These 23 channel Cybernets were great radios, I don't care what some people think or say.

    Your Kraco is a similar radio to the Hy-Gain V. I tried a Siltronix 90 that I modified. I got so frustrated with it, I tried the DDS. HOLY SHEEPSHIT BATMAN!!! I'm going to be working on some DDS VFO's after new years. I need to get the correct offset for various IF's. The one I used was around...

    I was using my phone when I messaged, which is a disaster for me. You responded first, so you have first dibs. It is just something I wanted to see out of curiosity. I never had one of those in here yet. Merry Christmas

    Uniden 980 DDS VFO

    I spoke to the designer, who said it was a Troy thing, that is not going to happen.

    Is a Cobra 150 amplifier a Class C or Class AB1?

    Ground the emitter of the keying transistor, which will key the amp. Do this with NO RF input. Then measure, the DC voltage from the RF transistors bases, to ground. If there is AB bias, you should see .6-.7 volts on the bases.

    Siltronix VFO 90-6 Info Needed

    The DDS VFO I ordered from Scamazon, was defective. Zero output. This has turned out to be a major PITA. Someone has to have one of the model 6 things hanging around.
