    Small update, the cap kits I ordered from Klondike mike came in the mail the other day, so I will get started on that when I get some spare time. Does any one know any common faults as to why the modulation/swr meter doesn’t work. I put a brand new one in it and it didn’t fix it. I put red leds...

    Nitro rings

    Bells sells them now as starbrite knobs, but they ain’t cheap, I bought some and found them to be flaky, as in intermittently turning on and off the actual led light right rings themselves are so cheaply made they should only cost 10 cents a piece...

    No matter what computer or phone I use, or from where. when I try to login to the website I get a security certificate error, security certificate has expired, just curious if anyone else is experiencing this problem? I made some progress on it. tr34 was indeed bad, it tested bad using a...

    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

    Thanks I’ll look into that. This is what a guy on eham used to cure his pool pump rfi issues. I know there are at least two others on here looking for a solution alsoo Idk if this thing fits inside the conduit or where exactly you need to mount it or even if it will work for each I’m having...

    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

    Simple answer is yes there is a visually seen ground rod. Driven into the ground with a bonding clamp on the ground rod, with a bare solid copper wire going from the ground rod, back to the motor, I didn’t physically see the exact spot the ground wire is connected to the motor, but just for the...

    Thanks for the advice about soldering on the counter. Sometimes I try to subscribe to the if it ain’t broke don’t fix it mentality, or is it if it ain’t broke fix it till it is? But I think the counter really does need to be recapped, I want this thing to last a long time. And I remember...

    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

    I know this sounds dumb but yes it looked like it was hooked to the motor. But I never actually laid eyes on the exact spot it was hooked on to the motor, if that makes sense. This is coming from my memory when I looked at it on Saturday. I’ve done some more reading since last week . And it...

    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

    All of the wiring is ran through metal conduit, the pump motor does appear to be grounded There is an 8 foot ground rod about a foot or two away from it, Did you ever get a chance to ask your pump guy.

    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

    They let me go in there back yard and look at it. There is a ground rod driven into the earth/ ground. With solid copper wire connected to it. But I never really traced the wire from the ground rod back to see if it’s actually connected to the motor. I briefly looked at everything I should have...

    I’m thinking the problem has got to be somewhere in the area I circled in red. Anybody is welcome to chime in. There’s probably somebody out there, that’s had a similar problem.

    I’m still trying to figure out why I have no modulation on Ssb and am. So far I have swapped out tr26, replaced r131 because it was clipped, changed c18, c109, swapped out tr23,tr25,changed out c101, Now I have tr24 back in, if I lift one leg of r128 I get tx with modulation, I resoldered...

    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

    Yeah but I I’m not sure if I can convince them not to run it 24/7 I asked them point blank if they run it 24/7 and they said yes, and I believe them cause the only times I’ve had peace and quite was when it was turned off Edit: I fully realize the electricity savings from having it on a timer...

    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

    I asked them they said no. It is a variable two speed pump. They had it installed a few years ago, they want to run it 24/7 which is fine by me, because they are willing to let a professional install a filter between the controller and pump, basically there willing to do what ever to make the...

    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

So now that there on board with everything, what do I really need to fix it, just call an electrician and tell him I need a simple ac line...
