It does not put out the same power on 15m as it does 10/12m and that is documented online.

This might come as a suprise to you but there is no one sitting on a stock pile of NOS, Open Box, or gently used units that we all go to when we want one. Almost all of the ones I have seen in the last 20 years have been on Ebay or Craigs List or the like. If you run across some one with a...

I have not owned an end mill or lathe in over a decade since I lost my first home and had to down size. I would like to own both again. What I never owned but would like to own is an old school well built metal shaper. Luckily for me I have a brother in-law with a really nice home machine...

Don't talk to cops. Never let them search your vechile or castle with out a warrant. Never volanteer to let them search either. That is a great way to invite them to charge you for some random thing you did not even know was against the law. The above is not legal advice it is advice every one...

I am going to copy this idea also for use at my mother in-laws place. Great Idea. I can not believe I did not think of this myself. My Dad and other NCO's used to build all kinds of stuff into ammo cans when I was a kid.

You normaly parellel opamps to get the drive you need then run that into a high power amp circuit. I have only played around with prefab bluetooth boards but never ran across anything would be line level they are more like a turntable output where you have to have a phono preamp to bring it up...

The easiest way to implement audio compression is to start with a ready made solution. Audio IC's have included EQ, Noise Gate, Compression, filtering since the what the late 1970's early 1980's? Think about compact cassette players with all the Dolby and other filtering, compression, EQ...

P.S. Mechanicaly I am much more adept than electronicaly. I put a C4 ZR1 LT5 engine into a Toyota 4x4 HILUX Pickup truck making my own sand casting's for adapters and a custom accessory drive. This was back around 1994 or 1995. In fact after that experince I put a 383 Chevy Small Block into my...

I have not tried it before either. I am only 50 so by the time I got into CB and Amateur radio in the 1990's these where not a thing! LOL I was planing on rebuilding this amp and sticking it in one of the small access panels in the wifes Toyota Hilander just in case! I figured I could stick it...

So I bought this amp not knowing that some of them came with stud mount transistors. I had only seen flange mount versions of this amp. I am not returning it because it works and the seller did nothing wrong. The mistake was mine and mine alone. It works but is kind of weak. So I am not...

That is why I bought one designed by Brian Griefy(sp) and then proceded to purchase circuit boards from him to build my own. The only way it could have gotten any better would be if JRC sold kits! LOL In a perfect world it would have been RF Fet based, band tuning, legal limit, and swr pwr...

I agree parts are parts if they work as intended or the crcuit can be uned to make non-origanal parts work! Up until recently I could get a great deal on MACOM MRF454's at a good price point so I used them to replace the insanely priced Toshiba 2SC2879's in my gear. I have HG2879's but have...

So I am on the right track. I figured I was not too far off but that was assumption on my part. I use a tuner in my house but it is the size of a boot box not what I want to lug around. I figured same parts of fixed value would need to be in the circuit but nice to know it is not impossible to...

I considered doing dipole out of dual whips. Why? Because It is not wire I have to hang, slope, invert, etc..... I do have two large Saturn Aura rims with light lip damage. I could mount a plate to that and slip a pole in and bolt antenna to. It would be heavy and take up some trunk space but...

I recently fell into a great deal. I got 8 of them at $24 each NOS still in the plastic retail bags like you would get at electronics store back in the 1980's. Imagine you walked into your local TV repair shop/radio repair shop! You can not get MRF455's for less than $79 each. I figured I can...

I like to put it like this! If you sell me a 400HP car I intend to use all 400HP regularly. I expect the engine and the transmission to last me at least 300,000 miles with proper maintence. If you it can not do that you are a loser, liar and fleeced my wallet! I believe in continious power...

I own about 12+ of his PCB's and have built 3 seperate designs of his. They are fantastic. I have owned one of his finished units and it is fantastic. Everything he promised and no hiden issues. I would love to own a Tokyo High Power, Henry or JRC but they are out budget and I amnot even sure...

In Boy Scouts the new kid if smart and independent got all kinds of craptastic work to just dog on him. Imagine having to un knot crates and duffle bags of knotted ropes probably decades worth. To this day I can unknott and untangle things like those Rubix's Cube competitors. I can talk and...

You just described the wiring in my current house and the last 3 houses I have owned! LOL

I recapped a 2003 Toyota Camry ECU. The patient made a full recovery! Sadly rust will get her long before anything mechanical does!
