I hear quite a few stations on Channel 28 AM with setups that sound like they're operating an AM radio station. Many are aloof when asked what they're running and others are straight up. There's so many different descriptions of what they're using I was just wondering if somebody can simplify it...

The last couple of weeks I've noticed the receive on my Uniden Madison acting peculiar. It's fine for one moment then it makes a kind of swishing sound as the needle on the meter drops down around 2 s units and as a result the receive gets quiet. I noticed this happens when it's windy outside...

After a year of making dx contacts and the twice a week local rag chew, I find myself enjoying listening more then communicating. I use a uniden Madison on SSB and an fs 2340 on AM. The Sonar actually recives very nice for a CB radio. The Madison also receives nicely but not as good as the fs...

Check out this very low serial number GE Super Base. Very interesting to see what was most likely the first chassis design before GE got the bug's out. The rigs serial number is 62. It was sent to Mike of Mikesradiorepair@gmail.com. Once again I'm having difficulty, to say the least...

The fan in my Palomar 500 elete calls for Sunon model no. fan 1209ptb-3 12v 1.6w. There are many available on eBay but I can't find that exact model number. I would like to replace it with a sunon but if there's another brand with the exact spec's I listed and if not can someone post a link to a...

The final in my Madison took a dump. I had it replaced, but the new final is not A 1959. It's an aftermarket final that apparently comes from the UK., at least that's what I was told. The Madison is definitely not what it used to be. The output is low compared to the final that originally came...

My Madison abruptly stopped operating. This happened while I was modulating on single side band. Here's what's happening. No output on AM whatsoever, but is showing modulation on the rigs modulalton meter. Showing nothing on rigs output or external watt meter. No single sideband output...

I've been using this Palomar while my phantom was being repaired, I'm ready to be put the phantom back in service, but before I do so it seems like this Palomar is or has developed a problem with the fan. Last week I noticed that the fan stopped working. The amp still keys up in both single...

I operate a Palomar 300 a with a sonar fs 2340 for AM operation, and a triple stage phantom with a Madison for ssb.with Within three week of each other both the phantom and 300 developed problems. I've been using a Palomar 500 elete 4 x 1446 base amp for the Madison on SSB, and a super star...

Power supply was indeed fried. Good call waverider. Found 1 amp diodes. Schematic called for two amp. Replaced with 3 amp. Replaced carbon composite resistors with metal flame resistant ones. Replaced all capacitors. Even though this happened, I...

Take two 11 meter amps built as close as possible considering ones transitorized and the other tubes, will the tube amp reproduce a higher quality audio? Both amps are being driven by the same tranciver/mic. I've heard tube amps soud better than transitorized/pill ones, and have been hearing...

It's so rare that DX continues into the AM, but it certainly did from Tuesday through Wednesday morning. Although it seems to have dropped off a bit at the time this post was written (8am), it's still coming into New Jersey. West from Chicago and Missouri south to Alabama and everywhere in...

If I didn't have bad luck I'd have none at all. Two weeks ago my Palomar 300 a which I use with my AM set up (Sonar fs 2340) begin keying up only upon the second key down. I replaced it with my macaco 300 only to find half the out put of what it used to do (never been a big fan of the macro...

Against the advice of several members of this excellent form, I went ahead and purchased at 828 from mfg. I purchased it because it has the frequency counter and the cross needle SWR/ power / reflected. Digital and analog . The frequency counter would have come in handy had I gotten around to...

When shooting skip, which is what I used my station for 95% of the time, I can't help but notice all these, what I'm assuming to be club prefixes before stations use their digit call sign..i myself just using my 3 digit call sign. Are these clubs that can be joined in order to get that prefix? I...

I think most of you know by now I am NOT an ssb person. Even so who wouldn't love to own a stoner pro 40. After two nights of debating I've decided I'm not a person who should own one. I'm sure there are some of you who know there's one up for auction on eBay. From the biding activitie maybe not...

after receiving my Uniden Madison. I was totally surprised that the new mint condition this rig is in. I'm not a purist but after seeing how really nice this Madison is I've decided to leave it in the original untouched condition that it's in. this Madison made me realize that I am NOT a single...

Will Concider any interesting older 11 meter items. I have 1 Sonar fs23 1 fs3023 and a Robyn t 123b. Both Sonars are in working order. The Fs 23 is a bit dusty inside. The fs 3023 is clean inside. Both Sonars are nice cosmeticly, all knobs are smoth and work correctly. The Robyn 123b is in mint...

Thanks to all who left advice. I've ordered another 5' mast. Now the A99 will bealmost 10' off the groud. I also purchased a 3 point guywire clamp, 100' of guywire and 12 guywire clamps. The weather is supposed to be nice on Sunday. I will post pictures of...
