    Why is it so damn hard to find a Pride DX300 for Sale?

    I have been looking for years because I had 20+ NOS Tubes they are 150's not 250's but still compatable. I have been looking for over 10 years and never see one for sale. Not like these are remarkable amps not like a 350Z or a 511 or better! They used to be common and cheap and I have not seen...

    I think I just purchased the last Ham radio I will likely purchase!

    I just purchased a ICOM 7410. It is a surplus unit but images made it look new or very gently used. They had several and specialize in Industrial Surplus. They came out of a radio communication shop that went out of business. I will let you know when I get it if it is new. It was inspected today...

    I do not know if it is even a thing yet but we see their yse in microwave systems, weapon systems, power bricks and audio amplifiers for hifi so just thought I would ask. This site hopped onto cheap switching mosfets like a fat kid onto the last cup cake at a birthday party. It seemed like a...

    I searched with google but found nothing. QT60-PRO/AT-5555II PRO VS Stryker 955

    So outside of power output I was woundering if anyone has done a head to head with the two radio's in terms of TX audio mostly but also all other parameters? I am never going to purchase a Stryker 955 due to price point alone. I am going to assume that the Stryker 955 has better AM audio and...

    Looking for clear concise head to head comparison of AT-5555 II vs K-Po 5000 DX

    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...

    So I had $900+ in my RF Parts cart. I whittled it down to $174 or so. They need a save for latter button! The high dollar parts I could recall exactly what I wanted those for it is the tiny $2 and $1 transistors I had absolutely no clue why they where in the cart! Those are the parts though I...

    So catch me up. What is going on with the CB and Export radio market?

    It seems like everything is discontinued or out of stock. If it is not an Anytone Radio it seems like everything is discontinued or out of stock. Those few things that are available are stupid expensive for what is being offered! Is this all due to Covid-19 and how badly China handled it?

    Possible Cheap TCXO off the shelf part to fix Galaxy RCI drift. Read Link and tell me what you think!

    So I found this while researching for an affordable TCXO mod for Galaxy radio's. It is from 2019. It seems reasonable to me but I have never tried anything like this.

    So I messed up and bought an amp with stud mount transistors. Advice?

    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...

    Anyone build an amp with NTE317 transistors?

    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...
