    Midland 13-898B has LSB Only

    Took my trusty old DX-440 out to the shop and performed the checks you suggested. On LSB I got 5 bars on the signal strength and on USB I barely got 1. So, the signal was present but extremely weak compared to LSB. Firing up the scope and poking around the LSB and USB oscillators I found the...

    Midland 13-898B has LSB Only

    Never thought of that. I'll have to dig out my old DX-440, it's the only "digital" SW receiver I have - all the rest are analog. Thanks for the tip! 73,

    Midland 13-898B has LSB Only

    I'm a sucker for vintage radios but they often come with "issues." I received a "new" FleaBay 898B today that the listing said will not power on, I figured it wouldn't be a big job. Got that part fixed which was the fuse on the PS board probably popped because electrical tape on connections to...

    Adding VFO to Midland 13-898B

    I built this several years ago but looking at my notes it's an AD9850. I'm toying with the idea of cutting the front panel to fit a display and removing the FUBAR clock if I can't find another or a replacement motor. So far no luck on that... Thanks for the cap tip, never thought about it...

    Adding VFO to Midland 13-898B

    I have a nice Midland 13-898B and the only thing wrong with it (besides FUBAR clock) is it's 23 channel. I decided it would be nice to have all 40 channels+ so I dug out a DDS VFO I built a few years back for a different project and decided to give it a go. It was pretty straightforward once I...

    How/where to add VFO to Midland 13-898B`

    I have a very nice working (other than clock) 13-898B that I would like to add some of the popular SSB channels (36, 38, etc) and not sure how to proceed. Looking at the schematic it seems that a crystal would need to be removed and the vfo output inserted into where the crystal was. I also...

    I'll have to see if I can find that. Right now if I switch to a freq that's not real close I have to "sneak up" on it! :-P

    Home Radioddity QT80 HF Radio Review

    I bought one of these from Scott's Radio in January of this year. It's a great little radio and I get great reports from contacts. I have it in my pickup with a 10M "Ham-Stick" type antenna (MFJ) on a hitch mount along with an ATU-100 tuner. I have talked coast-coast on 10 M and I have also...

    TM - It's a mighty fine scan, to be sure! Perfect for my needs. This is a "nostalgia" radio. It was my first base station when I was a teenager.

    Dan - Hope you enjoyed your vacation and made it back safe and sound. When you get caught up and rested if you have a Sams for a Lafayette HB-333 I need a copy. No big rush... 73,

    Thanks, I did not know what the formula was so that should do it.

    TM - Thanks for that but I'm looking for the chart that equates channel and crystal combination.

    Would somebody have the "crystal chart" for a Lafayette HB-333? I have a few channels out and I need to figure out what crystals might need attention.
