    RM Italy KL 503 Crunchy

    Never experienced that after doing this mod. Fortunately, you can buy the HD version, now. Presumably the HD version has no driver? That is correct. [edit] Actually, no. That’s incorrect. The driver is still there. I believe they’ve attenuated the input. I don’t understand why they just...

    100% there is a lot of input swr with this mod unfortunately, I’ve tried tweaking the coils with no success so far. Never experienced that after doing this mod. Fortunately, you can buy the HD version, now.

    Texas Star DX350 - SSB delay causing loss in power output

    Am signal didn’t look too bad when the AM (attenuation) button was pressed. Only 3w carrier and 9w pep input. Slightly under modulated. I’d recommend 2.5w carrier and 10w pep. Very efficient amp. The original post questioned why the ssb dropped the rf power. As mentioned by several, the ssb...

    Texas Star DX350 - SSB delay causing loss in power output

    Lol yeah. Gosh that dual mosfet thing was like a dozen years ago ‍♂️

    Texas Star DX350 - SSB delay causing loss in power output

    Thanks for that. We will see what happens with various input level and a two-tone signal. I figured there had to be something to that. It doesn’t make any sense, whatsoever, to make the switch a “dual-purpose” switch unless they have good reason.

    Thanks, X. Consider it done.

    Texas Star DX350 - SSB delay causing loss in power output

    It appears I can jump pins 2&3 to get full power w/ ssb delay active. Will be trying that. Thanks for the help.

    Texas Star DX350 - SSB delay causing loss in power output

    Thanks, Jeff. The initial poster of Thank you, Jeff. It sure is an awkward design. It appears I can simply bypass the ssb delay (and accompanied resistor) by adding a jumper between pin 2&3 on that gang. This will give me full power but also give me a delay at all times. I can install a toggle...

    Hmm. Good to know. Thanks for the heads up.

    Texas Star DX350 - SSB delay causing loss in power output

    35 Watt input SSB to Taxes Star DX350 @ 13.8v. 338 Watts Peak Envelope Power. Working perfectly. However, once the sideband delay is pressed on the amp, power is cut down 100 watts. Similar issue w/ AM carrier. 3W input=140w out (seems high) When AM button is pressed, power drops. I just...

    SR-Stryker 955HPC v2 and a amp

    First, I would never run the radio with a low drive amp. A low drive amp is one that has a driver inside to run the final section ie the 1x4. You can run that stryker with your dx400. There is no reason you can’t put a 5 watt dead key into that amp. People always talk about 1 watt dead key and...

    CB Tricks site UPDATES/THREAD MERGERS

    Yeah ‍♂️ is that cb-tricks a rip off? Just went there and you can’t click on any links. I’d pay $10/mo for Cbtricks.com if somebody would manage it.

    JasonD: What version of the board is your radio? Is it the ept695015c? Or do you know the approx mfg date?

    Cobra 29LX Changed Again

    It could be a matter of availability. I’m hoping the SMT is not the near future for cobra.
