So my 80M Dipole started acting weird after our last windstorm... so I had a reason to put the new Palomar End Fed Bullet 71" I had. Set it up as an Inverted L: 17' vert up the tree, the rest heading across the back lawn about 25' AGL in a South direction... Threw down the 2 15' counterpoise...

So I was playing around with my Anytone Smart CB and an RM Italy KL-203 this evening for a little bit. I was researching the worderful world of the internet, and it seems the general thought is the KL-203 is a 100w PEP amp at best, while still being "clean". Knowing my Anytone Smart is a...

A local Guy I did some swapping with a couple years back missed his KLV-1000 that he traded with me for a Skipper 300. .. Well, I guess he missed that KLV, which I never really used, so today I traded that KLV for a Uniden Washington and a Grant XL The Washington works, and sounds pretty good...

I was wondering if anyone else has one of these rigs. It is a great radio, and I like it a lot.... I tried an experiment the other night, that didn't work as advertised... I have the factory programming software, and programming cable, so I set up a channel and turned on the "scrambler"...

I picked Knight C-577 Compressor up at a local hamfest a while back... she is an oldie for sure... I got some time to throw it on the bench today... signal generator input, monitored the O'scope on the output... it works.... and doesn't take much at all to drive it The meter needle has broke...

I have a couple extra CBs (who doesn't) and a spare SDR Dongle... I have been looking at Panadapters and was wondering if anyone has used an SDR as a Panadapter on a CB radio... Export or normal FCC legal. I believe you are required to wire it straight to the IF Output of the victim with Coax...

I have at fairly stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway... Does anyone have a clean method of mounting a fan on a small amp like the KL-203P? I picked up a ln 80mm 12V fan and wired it to the Power switch on the amplifier... that was the easy part... What is a good clean method on keeping it...

Gots me a new toy today.. Anytone Apollo II Going to run A KL-203P behind it for a little kick (set the carrier at about 25W out of the amp and let it cruise) I'll see how well it is set up from the Factory this weekend, hopefully. Making another ammo can go box with 10/11 AM/FM and a...

I recently picked up a Realistic TRC-453 with a Diesel 630-6 Power Mic and a Silver Streak 150. Does anyone have a schematic for the Diesel 360-6 Mic or know what this is a copy of so I can get a copy of the schematic? It runs a AA Battery for power. Appreciate any assistance

I just picked up a pair of these... If you are interested, I put a writeup on my blog about it... I realize it does not have SSB, but it is actually a lot of radio in a small package. https://reverendbow.wordpress.com/2016/04/11/122/

A Bit of background: I have 2 IC-718s, one in the house, one in the truck The one I use in the house was purchased new in 2002 and has never been mobile. The one in the truck was purchased new in 2006 by a friend who used it in is sailboat while cruising on the Gulf of Mexico for a few years...

So, I just got a RM Italy KLV-1000/P in trade for an old Palomar Skipper 300A. I made that trade to a Local AM guy... I'm mainly a Sidebander anymore... This is the 4 tube "High Drive" version. I FINALLY found an Operators Manual for it that states the MAX drive is 120W for a 600-1400W output...

Howdy All, I have a limited space to put up my antenna, due to "Cosmetic Reasons".. Right now, I am running a homebrew Ground plane: 102" Stainless Whip with 4 radials. It has been doing pretty well in the DX with 100 watts, but I'm getting a bit tired of being the hard to hear guy... I...

Anyone have any information of the PRIDE HFL? I recently acquired one: https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2560/13038094035_d09aaa63b4_o.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7384/13038094045_1c3d2dcec0_o.jpg https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3086/13038094465_f9a60fa274_o.jpg...

Well.. I decided to try my hand at building a vertical antenna for the house. I was looking at designs on line and stumbled on this page: 6 Meter Repeater Antenna 1/2 Wave Coaxial Vertical Antenna Design The current idea is: 102" Radio Shack whip for the stinger 3/8 x 24 Feed Through for...

Hey gents... I'm looking at building a fairly Low Profile (lower profile than the Maco V-5000 and the 50' push-up pole I used at my old house) for 11 meters. The wife is pretty hard against me putting up anything big, so I am looking for something low profile. I was thinking of building...

Hello All, I have a Turner +2 that I picked up this spring. I have clean up the circuit boards, blasted and repainted the base, new Gain Control decal, clean up the cord, etc. Here is what it looks like: As you can see, the only thing I couldn't repair is the Chrome Ring...

So I acquired a AMBC Transmitter, not a monster by any means, but not quite a PW either... A J.R. Cunningham CM 30-50 Transmitter along with the LPB ATU-100SF Antenna Tuner A friend of mine is in the AM radio business and he had it stuffed in storage for any number of years. He had removed it...

I have a Uniden PC122XL that I am experimenting with. I actually did the "Handy Andy" mods to the power section of it for starters ( PC-122 Power Mods and miscelaneous stuff... )... But I want to make this thing louder. I am also planning to see how wide I can get the audio bandwidth...
