    25 and 26 MHz operators?

    Oh yes, the #3 repeater, Saskatchewan.... UGHH!!! He aparenty likes my comments though... dont like his vulgarities and his constant fueding with a "Stan in Hawaii". I tried 26.285 to no avail... I.mainly like to work 26 div stations though. I did find one Puerto rico station that spoke...

    26Mhz active?

    When it happens on 11 meters its because the operator just spews personal details over the air, like there phone number, address ect... Ip addresses are relative and not always fixed points. An ip adress isnt going to tell you a personal name ect. It might get you to a paticular town. Plus the...

    26Mhz active?

    By no means am I a prepper. I just like my privacy... is there anything wrong with a little privacy? Im not crazy.:bored: One experience I read was the ham was casually talking to other operators on 40 meters I think it was, but anyway he talks to one guy and a few days later the man drives 60...

    25 and 26 MHz operators?

    Lets get 26.285 active again! 27.555 is a madhouse and theres this one paticular lunatic from 9th div. thats all I hear even when the propagation is poor. K.M

    26Mhz active?

    Hello again everyone, I was interested to.know if 26mhz is active still. I have found that 27.555mhz is getting too crowded for me and theres a paticular lunatic constantly in my receive. So does anyone still use 26.285mhz? I would just have a listen for myself, but I would have to swap out a...

    Going to purchase an RCI-2950DX, what should I know?

    Ok, so you wouldn't recommend a driver for the al-811. Sounds perfect. What about the 2995DX is that the same radio in a base case with a PSU built in? Or what? Would I be better off with the 2950DX and a separate power supply? K.M

    Going to purchase an RCI-2950DX, what should I know?

    How clean is the output? If I wanted to drive an AL-811? I would have to use a driver, I have a class B single transistor amp that'd work fine. Any comments on the receiver? Thanks for the reply.

    Load capacitance for custom IF crystal?

    The pace 1000b is in and works. I figured out the strange switch on the side. I bought a Siltronix VFO 90-1 for it instead if the crystal. The midland needs work now that I popped the cover. The chart I looked at stats the 90-1 will work with the pace 1000m which is just the same board as the...

    Load capacitance for custom IF crystal?

    Ah, thats what I thought. Without that variable resister, its just direct to the audio pre-amp. I'll have to give ICM crystals a call back now that I got the capacitance Info I needed. Thanks K.M

    Load capacitance for custom IF crystal?

    Thanks 399, looks like I was close. I just got the Pace 1000B in and its got some kind of weird crystal selector to get channels 35 and 38 some how... One thing that gets me is the pace does not have a mic gain... but seems to get great sounding modulation none the less. Haven't tested the...

    Load capacitance for custom IF crystal?

    Is there a way to measure the crystal thats in place? I doubt ill find factory specs that detailed.

    Load capacitance for custom IF crystal?

    It sounds like it should be about 30pf. Saw two articals with yaesu rigs and it qouted a 30pf capacitance for the mixing crystals to move them to 11 meters.

    Load capacitance for custom IF crystal?

    I have two crystal synthesized 11 meter rigs that I want to change the working band on. I calculated that a new hc/25u crystal of 8.2525mhz would be needed. What I need to know is that how do I calculate the load capacitance required for the custom crystal? When I called icm for pricing, they...
