So do you have any information about the transformer?

I have the same setup. 4 to 1 balun with an unun on my ocf and talking the world.

I'm going through the amp and I was wondering if anyone knows about Ferrodyne 7497 Transformers?

I have always wanted a desk top legal limit amp. After years and lots of patience I found a new in box Henry 2KD-5 amp still in the original box and still wrapped in the plastic and the manual with all paperwork. The only thing I had to do was to change the original caps out for new ones. I had...

I found that someone had put in the wrong crystal so now I need to fine a 11.700. I have about every other crystal but that one.

I was given this CB radio and I notices some rattling on the inside so I opened up the covers and found the crystals out of there sockets. Does anyone have a sams on this radio that can tell me what crystal goes in what socket? Thanks Robert deKE7KPB

I ran across this little gem in a large lot of electronic equipment and I have it up on Ebay. Thoughts on making the selling better? I have a Cobra 2000gtl I might be putting up also but I need to make sure ti works as good as it looks. Here is the item# on E-Bay. 320990273964 Robert.

With enough power thrusting in the shack anything is possible, hehe

Now I'm thinking about rack mounting everything. HEHE- Rack mount, knobs hehe.

Congrats in the ticket. You will have more fun than 11 meters, No Noise makers, foul language, lousy sounding rigs and you will find out that you can talk to people all over the world with a 100 watt rig. I have 2 amps, and rarely turn them on. Now go for your General and make some contacts...

pic of the tuner.

Just a dumb question. It's been a week from hell and my brain box is about done it. Anyhow, I quad checked the wiring, The air caps are at 215pf and as you can see there are two split caps and I jumped the antenna cap to get the 215pf. On the transmitter cap, I would measure 220pf unhooked to...

Yep. This is defiantly not your plug and play radios we have now. A lot of knobs to work. And hay, I get to play with the radios.

20 meters, 80 meters 4 feet on each, 100watt.

Just finished the rebuild of this station. Now I just need to try it out on the air.

I built an antenna tuner on the the wiring of the ultimate transmatch and this thing runs weird. I hooked it up to a 857d and tested the tuner with the swr in the radio and an swr meter external to see how it would work. It tuned up the antenna fine but the weird thing is the radio would...

I run a 857D as a base station and the contacts I have talked to could not tell if I was on a ts2000 or a mobile on a power supply. Great radio with all of the bands and all of the modes. Go for it and have fun with it.

If you want a good all around unit. The Yaesu 857D is what I have used for years. 20 amp power supply will do the trick. You have all of the modes AM,FM, SSB, Digital, CW, RTTY, You can have a lot of fun with it and you can put in the mobile when you want to. You don't need a big radio to...
