Look at feedback percentage, analyze offering well, and ask questions till you know whether or not you really want it. If one doesn't have the wherewithal to properly analyze whats being offered, One must, either not purchase the item, or assume the risk. Rants, initiated as a result of not...

I've operated AM for quite a long time, almost exclusively on 3885 in the mornings. Not a rag chewer per se, nor a DX chaser, or contester. Just like spending a few minutes with "the guys" every morning. Currently using either a Gonset GSB100/Hali SX101/Nat NCL2000, ancient Collins TCS...

8 Gauge at minimum, 4 would be better. At that gauge, a new battery might be cheaper.

Did I mention Beck? You seem to have some sort of fixation about the man. Remember my comment about "the messenger"? If Beck is your only guy, your "main man" so to speak, when there are so many on both sides of any issue, I must offer my condolences to the centrists among us.

I've been using one of these for several years now and had no problems. Usually pretty cheap.

There's nothing like lefties, trying to sound like responsible Citizens. You can always tell who they are, because they attack the messenger. When it comes to the issues, they only know the "group think" talking points. They want the "Right" to embrace their marxist trash, but fear...

Hi Radio Tech, More pics?? Put your mouse over the pic below, or in the original post, click, and you'll go to my Photobucket page for the power supply. Click on the first cabinet pic, and you'll go to bigger pics with arrows to move through all the pics. Thanks for looking

Finishing up this power supply. Its taken for ever.

As has been mentioned by many already, the difficulty is getting the heat OUT of that miniscule device. Loads require good thermal conductivity, and a lot of surface area to dissipate the heat, and if the vendor has any applications/design info for actually making a working load, that would be...

WOW!!! Watta ya think the odds are of this happening??? I'm working on a "General purpose" power supply to use with many of my military rigs. Mine is going into an SX-28 type cabinet. Click the pic to see the rest of the pics for my project.

Yes you can, but you have to do it at about 8 PPS or better, and if you get one of the dreaded numbers with a few 8s or 9s, your success rate drops dramatically. :biggrin: The Dial actually makes and breaks the line connection (just like the hook switch does) but it mutes the handset receiver...

Yep, thats the shack phone. In the 60s there was a lot of talk about the new Central Office (CO) switches not being compatible with rotary phones and that rotary was dead, then they brought out "hook flash" to allow called party switching between two conversations on a single twisted pair...

Yep, it does have a wire coming out of it, Its called a telephone. Its an old rotary dial type, standard issue from MaBell when I was a kid. Here is a little better picture of it.

This is what I've been using for the last few years, and aside from a bleeder resistor opening up in the power supply, making for a very noisy cap failure, its been a great amp.

Here are a couple pics of my shack. The radio bench with a few rigs, and the test bench. The two face each other with about 4 feet between them. I completed the test bench a couple weeks ago and am still working on getting the radio bench finished up. I figure that will take a...

Interesting subject VOMs. Shockwave; A drop from about 3 feet onto a concrete floor might change your mind, :oops: you can bet this wouldn't happen with your Fluke. As I mentioned earlier, IMHO not moving to ABS was the biggest problem any of these old meters had. Beetle...

Most VOMs used the old "General Radio 274" style connector, or the headphones "pin" connectors. As for leads, there are sellers on Ebay selling mil-surplus VOM leads with interchangeable tips. I've purchased several sets, and they are very good quality rubber insulated leads. Most...
