Have you even read the little Part 95 insert that comes with new radio's back in the day? If you have and you need it spelled out you than you need a lot of help with readng comprehension. I need a lot of help with my spelling so it's find we all have our weak spots. I have made this easy for...

David Gilmour is still making music today. Just the other day I turned one of my 23 year old twins into a fan. Spotify is where I listen to his work.

In contesting where getting heard is the only thing that matters that is where overly processed audio and SSB meet. You have to remeber that most amateuter radio operators see AM as a mode as almost as bad as pedophillia is to the masses. So you will almost never see compression, downward...

For the ignorant a lot of radio's like but not limited tot he Cobra 138XLR had speech processing int he form of built in compression that is always on. Idiots would yank those parts of the audio chain out and bypass it then slap on a power mic. When not talking about contesting on SSB...

Well the AR3300 and 3500 where offered with the SP1-a from the factory so any "keep it stock untouched" is just stupid thinking on your part since it and a 100w single 2879 insternal amp could be added tot he 3500 from the factory. If the factory "molests" the radio before they send it to you...

RF Clipping as TenTec 715 for instance does is still operating on the audio. They are transforming the audio into RF doing the clipping and amplifying int he RF realm then converting it back to audio before injecting it back intot he radio. Now if we are talking about RF clipping and...

I know this is old but wow what a small minded individual! When I think I am harsh I find post's like these and am reminded I am a softy! LOL

We still know nothing that is objective we have assumptions and idea's but nothing that would stand up in court or at community college as a fact!

I have seen guys with too much time on their hands or a real interest break out a pll on some bread board to shift pins and such to do home brew channel expansion. If I could buy one pre-made I might consider it but I am not making my own. That juice is not worth the squeeze today. Now that...

If you can not figure that out with a google search your not smart enough to own it. Like giving a toddler a loaded hand gun! Noise Toys are for loosers and drunks that have no place on civilized 2 way radio communication. I only drink and post on internet I never drink and talk on the radio...

I have not ran into a low IQ WX board. I have run into some low IQ CB'er's some ignorant ones as well though. I wish we could remove them from the hobby. Same for all of the like minded amateur radio operators! So this board and the coresponding switch or knob ate at you so much morning, noon...

Clearly the K-PO 5000 DX seems to be the wallet friendly options. It appears to be mic friendly onlike the absolutely stupid mic connector ont he AT-5555 II. Now that I have asked down to Earth practical questions that does not involve swaping in a mosfet into a Combra 29 or doing NPC-RC mod...

No it will not. Mic Gain and RF gain has nothing to do with over driving an amp. Now if that is RF power out that is variable then yes turning down might be helpful but you might still need to turn the low power and high power pots inside down to match drive if that is possible. Depends on the...

I think I will recap it. Maybe do the Gold Finger audio TX/RX substitutions, if it does not already have a 2SC1973 I will change that. I will upgrade regulators. I will upgrade the regulators with Mitsubishi, Toshiba and ST Micro componets. I will either do CP-1 and SP1-a install or convert to...

Less @ LessComm has a video of a 2517(?) that he installed an MD-1, CP-1, and SP1-a. The MD-1 was switched of course as is the SP1-a. He had no trouble getting the CP-1 and SP1-a to play nicely together with impressive results.

Since it contains electronic parts it has to be science. Tht does not mean it is what you want or that it does something that add's utility to your radio. It is though not an invisible dog or pet rock though. Plenty of shops seem to figure out how to make them work well while some can not make...

The President Washington is basickly an over priced Ares II, AT-5555, 6666 etc.... It is not like it is not being built by the same people that make the above radio's! It does not offer anything that far cheaper radio's from the same manufacture already offers. I am sure Presidents customer...

My Mouser cart is empty it appears their is a limit to how long you can keep a cart full of parts. Not only that but 90% of my past orders have dropped off as well. It had been a few years but had no idea they just dropped them off like that.

I was going to post a thread just last night just how affordable Washington Base Radio's can be had for if you shop around that are cosmeticaly in good shape and largely unmodified. It sounds just as good as a CObra 2000 on are and it has less to break or need to repair.

I have to admit it caught my eye as well since President until recently had a history of putting their name on radio's that where very well built. My problem with them at present is that they are just rebranding radio designs by Chinese companies that make similar products at a 1/2 to 1/3 the...
