I hooked my Gain Gain Master back up today...after over a year being off the air.

DX working both ways here, from California to the East Coast, and a little Europe to boot.

Old Grampa CDX 390, Corpus Christi, Texas, standing by, live and in color, on your 2-way radio.
 

I hang out on 37LSB and 10m, give me a shout!

I was on 37 lsb earlier and I think I heard you Robb, but I wasn't sure. Right after I heard something I made a call that include my call with my handle...

I think I basically said..."this is CDX Charlie Delta Xray 390, old Grampa in Corpus Christi, Texas."

Was that you?
 
I hear you low Robb and I called several times, but you did not come back.

Does the Gain Gain Master have twice the gain as a regular Gain Master? :p

I haven't done anything to my GM since I got it, but if I had...it would probably show about twice the gain on the receive end anyway.

I guess you might have heard me broadcasting world wide today, right?

Apparently my comment went straight over your head at about 30,000 feet and Mach 2.7

Never mind.

Oh, since you were undoubtedly on 11m the answer to your question would be "NO".

Do you understand it now Eddie or should I wait for another sonic boom? :rolleyes:

  • @ heartbreaker3473:
    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
  • @ AudioShockwav:

  • @ heartbreaker3473:
