    Moving in a different direction....

    Well, I've been pondering the idea of selling off all my CB/10M equipment and picking up a Yaesu FT-857D for the mobile. I have a Yaesu FT-897D for my base, and really love it. I would think 100W in the mobile would be sufficient. Not a really big AM guy, so SSB & FM would be my primary modes...

    Hr2510 W/texas Star Dx350 SWR decreases during modulation

    Situation: HR2510 (DK 1.25w) - Texas Star DX350 (non-var) - Turner +3 at 9-o'clock - I-10K antenna. SWR is virtually flat with no amp. With amp on and "dial-a-watt" (green button)depressed, my SWR at DK is at 1.5:1, and during modulation, SWR drops to 1.1:1. I'm seeing 75w DK swinging to 275w...

    Yaesu FT-897 AM

    Any Yaesu FT-897 users out there? Occasionally, I would like to talk to the on AM. Maybe I have my settings wrong. I seem to get better reports with the stock mic –vs- the new Heil GM-5. I do more SSB, but occasionally operate on AM. I was getting “off-freq.” / “warble” reports on AM. I have...

    Radio hobby woes.......

    Do any of you share the same feelings as I do when it comes to the radio hobby? I often go through these phases of either getting out of radio for a while, running barefoot, taking the CB out of the mobile, and just running a Ham rig, and so forth and so on. It seems to coincide with mood...

    Upgrading to a 150A alt.

    The mechanic at the local alternator shop said that, "it wouldn't do me much good" to install/rewind a 150A alt.(from the stock 85A) without running a dual battery system. Does this sound accurate??? Thanks for the input!

    Need Help. President Lincoln VR107 adjustment

    Please help!! I have a Rogerbird President Lincoln that appears to have a 1988 Uniden board. I found the location for VR107, but no pot there. I need to drop my D/K a bit. At lowest variable RF setting, I'm still seeing 5W. Need to lower D/K to run my new DX500.

    Understanding amp design...

    I need some help fully (or partially) understanding amp design. I have read quite a few posts and readings that you should drive 4 pill (Texas Star DX500) amps with only 1.5-2.5 watts, yet, 667’s and 1X4’s alike are usually driven with a 2290 pill (60W +/-). Maybe I just don’t understand the...

    Meters for modulation

    What are you all using (if any) to read modulation? I know some radios come with dual meters. But I'm running a Yaesu FT897D as my primary rig and a Palstar cross needle meter. I think it would be nice to have a meter to read modulation as well. Input much appreciated!!
