I started with an FT-7800, then bought another. They are very simple and inexpensive dual band radios. I then bought an IC-2730, and I have to look at a book often to figure it out. I only keep the IC-2730 because of its features, not because I like the radio.

I think they are all blowed up like mine.

I'm driving it with 100 watts and in theory it should run cool and last a while.

I got a pic from the builder. I know the bias has a diode with 2 caps under those resistors someplace, but it's pretty hard to see in the pic. Good, bad, or just another copy?

Jim also claims his ssb amps are b biased

I just heard back from jim, and he said he uses megawatt supplies.

Why does nobody do ab anymore? Is it really that complicated? Is ab that much better tha b? Is it just higher draw for less output turns people off?

I apologize for joking around.

Are we being trolled again? Seriously though, are you ok?

I'd spend a little extra for an ameritron. I thought my station was good to go until I tried an ameritron awm-35b and realized I had an ALC overshoot problem. The response is incredible, and well worth the money for the peace of mind.

Does anyone offer AB?

It might even be better to keep it completely anonymous and just use a third party for the money? If you are a legitimate amp guy, contact a pillar of this community and we can anonymously run the money through them. None of us are stupid, so nobody is getting a free amp here. This isn't an...

Would any of the amp guru's here be willing to look at one of I sent one? It's a local guy that could be full of crud, or genius. I don't know. Obviously I'd love to have a local builder that was good. If anyone knowledgeable wants to check one out, let me know and I will send you the funds...

Thanks!

Any reason not to go with an IC-7100 in the mobile?

Anyone know anything about 307 Amps? Jim Mcknabb in Gillette, WY?

How many buttons do you see under the display? I see 6 on the kenwoods, and 5 on Kop's pic. I am losing some vision though, I could be wrong.

It looks a lot like an ADI AR-146, but the print on top doesn't appear correct. Short answer... I don't know

Don't forget that we have to manufacture 10 times more cb radios than we did in 1990 just to keep the same number of operational radios in existence. 3 years is a pretty long life for most of the 11m exports that are common today.

I just hope his dad can deal with the survivors guilt, and that it was actually Chris's turn to drive. "It should have been me" can drive a friend mad, let alone a father. Rest in peace
