I do not think you need to have a college degree to be a good technician. Some of the best I have known did not finish college because of that pesky thing called Vietnam. College is not worth the price of admission today is depends. I do not care if someone has a degree or not everyone in my...

I paid over $400 from HRO in 1991 for my RCI2950 I remeber that by 1993 once non-Ham radio outlets started to carry them and I do not mean the refurbished units either price dropped down to $249. That was the direction the industry should have followed. The owners of Galaxya nd Ranger should...

What the heck does this even mean "robotic pumpy ringadingzing newer dsp hf radios sound"? I am guessing from context this is a bad thing but not sure. LOL

I do not think of a watt meter as an absolute or precision tool it is about trending data and close enough at best. We have far more accurate tools than "the watt meter"!

Why would anyone not talking on the air purposfuly interfer? To bad Uncle Sam never updated you on the solution? If it was a plasma TV or Solar Power Inverter etc????

I think I would have used some evape-o-rust(sp) lightly feather the area's. Then apply some bondo or glazing putty. Sand, prime, rinse and repeat. Top coat to get as close as you can to finished OEM look. Never purchase a radio, a car, or beanie baby as an investment with potential resale...

That is not that bad for a Franken radio! Well done! While I am not a huge fan of slapping amps onto radio's I have done it myself a few times in the 1990's. I mostly am against OEM's doing it since it is a terrible practice. When people do it themselves I do not have a problem with it other...

Because there are a lot of old guys still in the game and because any alternative is either just as expensive or more so or the build quality is junk. Early on they made a very consistent, durable, repeatable product that had a high enough degree of accuracy. They where the industry standard...

I know I have bought a few parts from him. I can not recall what exactly but everything was as listed and shipping was reasonable.

KM sells kits on ebay or used too.

Well I am sure they do the same thing other's do and just not populate those parts of the board that would hold the SSB componets. So I would not think of it as a new radio rather another model a family of radio's. Figure out the parent board and you will have answered all of the questions you...

Thanks for posting. I have really been trying to find someone that has scoped NPC mode with power down. Every single time I see the NPC mode being poo-poo'ed on these there never mention even attempting to run it bellow a 15W carrier.

There is nothing like this other than MMM board. This is the simplest and cheapest way to do this.

I think the device does what it is intended to do. Mike was a purist. The Lincoln/2510 line of radio's is one of his pet radio's I think he owns 8 NOS most recapped and aligned and still in the box. So putting this device in this chasis is asking for Mike to go on a rant. I did not watch the...

My city only has 3000 people in it. That said we are the county seat of the largest county in my State and while not the State Caoital we are actual the oldest county the first County in the State. I live 100m from the County Court House, Fire Department, Police, Ambulance and Cities...

A lot of electrete mic elements have a very wide voltage that they will operate at. The gain will be rated at a very specific voltage but often something that will have a 4volt rating if you can actualy find a print for it will have an operating voltage of 12V-36V. Sadly though their is no...

Thanks Guys!

I found some at Elliot Electronics. I just got them in and have not opened the box yet. They looked good online. I will try to take some pictures and put up the part number when I get around to it. Monday is my day off and the wifes day off. I did not sleep from Midnight to 7am but did sleep...

It was beautiful place years ago. I am assumuing it still is? If you had game and could hustle a bit you could make a killing in sales in just about every field in that area. If not it could be a frustrating place to be but money used to be as thick as flys you just had to have a little bit of...

From 1991 to 1998 when I left the radio hobby the first time I talked all over the Earth with a RCI2950 and about 100 watts of power mobile in an 1986 Toyota 4 Runner and 102" whip. From California to Georgia to Michigan all over the Earth especially Canada and Europe. Part of that is...
