I was wondering if anyone else has one of these rigs. It is a great radio, and I like it a lot.... I tried an experiment the other night, that didn't work as advertised... I have the factory programming software, and programming cable, so I set up a channel and turned on the "scrambler"...

Oh... Nothing really new. I have the Low Power setting down to drive the KL-203, The High Setting is for running barefoot. I still have yet to find a schematic for it....

What did you want to know? Still working great, and in the box with the matching AT-778UV...

I have always looked at the Alinco SR8T... it seems to be very much like the IC-718, except it has FM. Are they a decent rig? That is probably very true, it is the only HF rig I've ever had, so it works for me.

I've never had any trouble DX'ing with mine... and FM? only for 10M? I don't even miss it.. I have had my first 718 since 2002... it was $450 back then, then picked up a second one about 10 years ago second hand with an AT-130 Antenna Tuner from a friend for $400 total. Even today, it is $400...

Screw that, the 718 is a great rig... no BS, and the price can't be beat

The Anytone Apollo II/Stryker SR-94HPC has an add on board for CTCSS, DCS, and DTMF. https://strykerradios.com/store/ctcss-module-for-stryker-sr-94hpc-10-meter-radios/

It was good to see John get some Air Time. He is a great guy, real easy to talk too, and knows his stuff.

Yup, I agree, they are all pretty common... the others are 3 are 0.1uf 1 is 0.0033uf

Swapped the only electrolytic (C2 in the schematic) it was a 50uf/10V, I had a 68uf/10V close enough Looks like the gain dropped a tad, looks like it cleaned up the signal a bit.

Thank you sir! Where did you find that?

Not overdriven.. it is a clipping circuit

Here it is in action... 1KHz @ 30mv drive 9vdc power Bypassed signal Lowest Compression setting Highest Compression setting

I picked Knight C-577 Compressor up at a local hamfest a while back... she is an oldie for sure... I got some time to throw it on the bench today... signal generator input, monitored the O'scope on the output... it works.... and doesn't take much at all to drive it The meter needle has broke...

But technically, to be on the "normal 40" you have to stay on the 5s I was part of a SSB group a couple years back, we used 370 USB

(See thread about Amatuer Radio Equipment on CB)

None of the good radios are...

The Apollo II has the following power levels: 4/10/40W FM 4/10W AM The cool thing is, the AM/FM Low Power and AM Low Power Modulation is adjustable, and the AM/FM High Power and AM High Power Modulation is adjustable, and these settings are independent of each other. So I set my Apollo II up...

That is basically the same as the Anytone Apollo II, Stryker SR-94HPC, CRT 2000... with a different faceplate.

True... or some of them will slide in as 10M rigs...
