    HR2510 transmit toreceive delay problem?

    I Have a friend with a 2510 that has a problem with a slow delay after he unkeys his mic before the receive starts working( 1-2 seconds). Changed his microphone with no difference. Any ideas wheat the issue might be?

    SSB drift on a vintage Golden Eagle Mark III

    thanks for your quick response. I googled it and it said the Transmit is actually good except for the low output wattage, its the receive that's bad and the transmitter warbles if you try to hook external components on the VFO power supply of the radio. Ill look into the Siltronix 1011C and D...

    SSB drift on a vintage Golden Eagle Mark III

    I just bought a Golden Eagle Mark III. I haven't had a chance to try it our yet but I hear these radios are poor Sideband radio's because they drift too much when transmitting. If It does is there a cure for this? A little advice from the guys with experience running tube radios would be...

    MOSFET conversions for upD858 and MB8719 boards

    your missing the point of this thread. Its about the fact that it is possible to do it. I have bought these new transistors and they are sub-standard. So We applaud Exit-thirteen on his work instead of mocking it.

    your thoughts on the dac mark X ?

    So I went to look at a Moonraker 4 today, turns out the old guy was selling his whole station. I bought his mint condition DAC 10, and all his equipment. I don't anything about them but WOW what a nice looking radio. What should I know about this rig, I've never owned a radio with tubes in it before

    Ranger RCI-2995DX CF 10/12 Meter Radio

    try running the fan of a separate power supply or battery and see what happens. that might help isolate the noise issue. just a suggestion is all

    People always laugh when I give power number for Pres.Lincoln

    RIT is the clarifier and the display shows ch 47 but the freq counter shows ch 46 something is wrong there, I didn't see a 10khz +/- switch on it

    Im looking for AM swing mod for a TRC-457.

    on your mosfet mod on 399's page, you have the 56K resistor as a 1/2 watt resistor, will the 100k pot be just for finding the right resistance to get the 3.9 - 4 V bias then sub in a 1/2 watt resistor close to that value? just not sure what the wattage rating is on a pot.

    Stacking KIT PDL

    yes so I figured he must have gotten it figured out by now lol I started a new thread on the topic too. thanks

    I want to stack 2 PDL II's.

    I just acquired 2 brand new PDL II's and I'm considering stacking them. Does anybody know how far apart the two antenna's should be from each other? what is the best way to co-phase them as well?

    Stacking KIT PDL

    I just got 2 brand new un-opened PDL II's and want to stack them. anybody know what dimentions the staking kit places the two antenna's apart and how they are co phased? did you ever figure out how to stack these fine antennas?

    Im looking for AM swing mod for a TRC-457.

    I bought 2 sheets I just cant spell it so I should have enough lol. what current draw are you getting out of one mosfet?

    Im looking for AM swing mod for a TRC-457.

    have you tried piggy backing 2 mosfets? would you need to have a separate bias resistor for each gate or would the same pot work for both of them? Did you use the Berguest pads that 399 refers to or is there something better out there now?

    Im looking for AM swing mod for a TRC-457.

    ok thanks.. I have a few of these radios so I'm going to play around with your mosfet final mod and the original high power components to see what I like best.
