Exactly
Thankyou gentlemen for sharing your expertise.The main reason I considered using a balum and the Bazooka was to help avoid TVI.I have had good results with verticals using a line isolator,just very little experience with horizontals.Thanks again.
Anyone ever use a 1:1 current balum with a Double Bazooka antenna?Thinking of making one and have a balun handy.I know the antenna is balanced and should tune well without one but would it degrade performance?Any help or opinions greatly appreciated.
Total agreement.My Tornado performs better than my Vector I took down for maintainence.Locals tell me TX is slighty stronger and RX is at least as good but quieter. Great skip shooter!A real surprise for an inexpensive antenna.
Thanx
Thankyou gentlemen for your reply.I was afraid I would see 250 ohms worth of smoke puffing from the radio when I keyed.But just a poor sounding mic I can handle.Thanks again.
All DX949/959's have meter light diming.The reason is the stock voltage regulator Q54 is too weak to supply the power the radio needs to function at peak.Subing a 2SB817 will stop diming and slightly increase performance.And use a power cord/plug of 12gauge wire with a 10 amp fuse.It can be...
Royce and Power Mic
Well that's not exactly true.There are power mics that will work such as the Royce power mic.The 621 and most Royce have a speech compressor in the mic circuit which is over-driven and subject to feedback with a typical power mic.A Royce power mic was designed to work with...
It's The Amp
Mustang don't feel like the Lone Ranger,I had the exact same problem with a a KL203 and my DX949.No matter what I tried the relay would chatter.Probably some kind of design flaw or incorrect part substitution during assembly.I tried several different radios with every possable...
Royce
Royce radios are a Horse of a different color.Almost no two models are identical.Most have very sofistacated Mic circuits with some having Speech Compression.I have a 620 that will work with any Mic,including a D104 Tug9 and a 619 that only works with a non-amplified 600 ohm Mic.Any kind...
Here you go.Turner 350D-Paging mic,200 Ohm Z,wired for relay switching.Freq responce 200-4500 HZ. Shure 404C-Paging mic,Hi Z,!K ohm Z,5 post leaf switch. Neither of these are intended for CB use.Hope this helps.
