So I have a laptop set up in the radio room, I plan to use with an interface box for CW get, CW Type, and SSTV. The power brick for it throws off all kinds of noise. I jump from having 0 S-units of static up to like 7 units as soon as I plug the charger brick for the laptop in. Its bad...

So....I was talking to my buddy who recommended I upgrade one of my coax antenna feeds because it is really cheap cable, and old, and he mentioned the possibility of it shorting out. I think the probability of this happening while transmitting at 100w on 10m is probably low, but cable does...

So I'm basically a year old ham, and learning, as some of you know. I'm interested in radio tech, to a certain degree....I mean I do have a radio, after all. Heh. What I guess I miss out on is a good rag chew with some new people in other areas. My grandpa put me on his knee 25-30 years ago...

So, pardon my ignorance, but I'm new, and learning. I have my ham general license, and an ICOM 718 stock radio, with a antron 199 10m antenna which I also use for 11m, and a homemade wire antenna for 40m and 15m. I can also tune it to 18m with a little extra swr. My question is: What is the...

I'm still kinda new to the radio scene and learning. Please bear with my lack of experience. If this question is not in the right area of the forum, I apologize. I need some help. I think my radio broke tonite. I have an ICOM 718, and a MFJ Versa Tuner II antenna tuner, and a couple...

So I've been using a modified PC power supply with my ICOM718 for a while. It works OK but doesn't really put out the amperage I need.... One of the HAMs at work gave me an old linear power supply he had kicking around for free to help me out. It says 29 amps on it, and its a heavy brick. It...

Drake TR7 Transceiver + Drake MN2700 Tuner, + PSU + Mic This a complete set, includes mic. It belonged to my grandfather for years, who bought it new. He handed it down to me, as he's getting up there in years (92) and hasn't really used it the past few years. The good: It was very well...

I'm just curious where everyone came from? I come from a moderate electronics background. I went to BOCES for a technical education for 2 years, and got a cert, than went to college at Bryant and Statton for "Technical Electronics" which was basically a 2 year degree in circuit...

test

Took the license test(s) today....I killed the Tech with only 1 wrong, then failed the General by 1 question. Was bummed so I paid my 15 bucks and took a second crack at it....NAILED it. I'm stoked! Now I can legally use my old Drake TR-7 grandpappy handed down to me. Hope to talk to some of...

So, I'm rocking an old Drake TR7 ham transceiver on 11m CB for now till I get my license. It works great....except every time I transmit, I am rebooting my Direct TV box.... It does this on 10M too. It totally F's up the box to the point where it reboots and needs to reformat itself, and it...
