Well, it’s 2 years later and I’m thinking about a 979 again. I just don’t know who to get it from. Here’s what I want.....
Galaxy DX-979 w/ Alignment
Open Clarifier Aligned Dead On Warm (50Hz or less)
2W Low Key, 5W High Key (Power Knob)
20W PEP
Palomar Max Mod
100% Modulation At Max Mic Gain...
Good Lord. lol... Yeah, I have yet to run the 220V at all, running the LA-1K at lower power on 110V, so I could put a pair in. I need to find me an electrician soon.
Yes, but my 240V is being used by my Palstar LA-1K. I'm hoping some stacked switchers can provide enough current from 15A of 110V to get me at least 1Kw.
I had a psuedo-SDR Icom 7300 for a while and it was awesome, until I got a Flex 5000a a year ago. That was an eye opening experience in how much you can do for your audio and receive. I recently got rid of the 5000 and replaced it with a used Flex 6500. With this SmartSDR software and...
So I'm looking for a new 110V base amp that's biased (and filtered?), nets 1Kw-1.5Kw PEP on SSB and is of good build quality from good quality parts. I know there are a few commercial choices out there and I'm leaning towards Carl Built, but what are some other good options? I'm looking to spend...
I can tell you this, I bought a brand new radio from them, Screwdriver did the work (or at least signed the card) and it was overmodulated as well as limited on modulated AM power output. It drew 9A on a 25W carrier and pulled 9.5A modulated. How much power could it actually make only drawing...
Denny, it was great to meet you. We ended up driving through Garden of the Gods after we left there. It was a great day for a ride. I'm back home now and still haven't had the chance to install the Galaxy in the truck, but I'm gonna get on it soon.
When I get it all installed I'll get my little...
Since I’ve been having issues with the ground plane under my big whip I decided to try out my Hustler HQ27B on the analyzer. I got it to tune up well but it’s narrowbanded. Also, the weakness in my ground plane is still obvious because as soon as I backed out of the driveway my SWR went up .2:1...
OK, so 8 years later here I go bringing this thread back.
I'm thinking about going with the NMO30BCO coil and W640B whip. I plan to use it for CB and between 28.300 and 28.700 on 10M. Would this antenna be wide enough to do that?
I think I made a mistake buying a big whip and sticking it on the bed rail. My ground plane is insufficient and this morning my corona ball got ripped off in a drive-thru. It’s just too big and finicky.
So, I’m looking at the Predator 10K SW with the 12” shaft with a total length of about 4-1/2...
The carpet folds up with the removal of two trim pieces that snap out. I just like that spot because it's an easy spot to access and doesn't interfere with anything on the firewall.
Dude, no need to go through the firewall. I went through a rubber plug under the driver's floorboard for both power and feedline on my '16 F150. I also went straight to the battery and have had zero corrosion. I'm actually about to redo mine with 8GA for my Galaxy.
I had one of these before I got my 7300. Great little radio. It was really nice having all modes on all bands with just a tiny footprint on my desk, but I got the bug to build up my desk a bit and wanted to focus on HF since I never really use VHF/UHF.
It could be used in the mobile pretty...
Well, she’s on her way to OldTech03 to be looked over and aligned. Now I’m excited all over again to see what he finds and how he can improve it. :LOL:
He didn't spread the coils, this is a radio he is planning to work on and he said he would fix the spread coils. I enjoyed the 980 with a Stinger he built for me. I don't know about that $100/LB solder bullshit, but he does OK work.
