I'm sure many of you remember the "MOD" where 'weakstation' came up with a control circuit using EPROMs to control the PLL and VCO. Lots of channels for different MB8719 chassis. Pretty much forgot about this till today as I was doing a search for my old Geocities page. The front page is...

My operations on two meters SSB with locals is decent and living in the Great Lakes area only seems to enhance this. Many times talking with locals and my yagi pointed East I have been hearing radio propagation 'pips' or 'twits' on 144.200 USB. They for all the World sound like what is heard on...

Thought I would start a thread about one off or rare radios, so here is the first.... I do not know much about this base, I have a Cobra 135 GTL and looks to be the same size. Cobra must have used this on the early 2000 GTL before the chrome face came out. mechanic

This has been out for a while now in mainly Brazil, sometimes on Ebay. Looks to be a spin off of the Anytone AT-6666, 10 bands accessible by pushing the channel knob. Equals 400 channels. No idea of the price. In Brazilian Portuguese

Looking and 'kicking' tires.... https://www.copper.com/cart/SS-3900-EGHP-%20American-Flag I need another radio.... really I do! mechanic

I have lots of fun listening to WEB based SDR receivers. Many of these are located in far away parts of the World. Here are the basic URLs.... http://websdr.org/ and.... http://sdr.hu/?q=kiwisdr With both you select your receiver and just follow the promps. You can zoom into the...

Well I scored two CPIs! A CPI CP2000 base with original mike and a CPI CP400 mobile with original mic and base/power supply stand! Also all documentation! The base seems to work fine and the IC chips internally show a date code of 1982 and older. There are four added switches, two are...

I have heard packet mode on the DX band of 11 meters above channel 40. My question is about the other modes such as JT65, FT8, Olivia or RTTY and more. Since the FCC has loosened the distance restriction stands to reason the rest of 11 meters should be less strapped. mechanic

Since there is interest in 220 in my area and the possibility of a repeater. I bought this transceiver for a good price on Ebay. $128 out of my Pay Pal account and it was on it's way. Three day wait! not bad.... Unlike most Chinese rigs it was pretty easy to use with out reading the manual...

As of this post, three more days then I leave for Dayton and I hope we can all meet up! 73 Rod W8GRI

This will be my 12th year going to the Dayton HAMvention, it is also in a new place, the Green County Fairgrounds, so this will be a pretty fresh trip for all that go! I was thinking that for all those who will be going and are a part of the World Wide DX group, It may be good to meet up for a...

New transceiver by President, President Mc-Kinley with USB, LSB and AM. Price range of $299 available in late October or early November. Looks to be mostly menu driven or multi-function knobs and buttons. Front speaker, three colour display, ASC, 12/24 volt, weather channels (7), digital...

The move of the Dayton HAMvention has many worried about the new venue.... Questions about the needed space, parking, too much grass, handicap parking, bathrooms, holding the event in an animal barn! But not too worry, here is a video of a small tour of the grounds. I think it will work fine...

On August 20th Icom released the new IC-7610 HF and six meters transceiver. It is slated to replace the IC-7600 and incorporates features of the IC-7300 in a rig the size of the 7600. As with the IC-7300 it is a DDC/DUC transceiver with dual VFOs also has dedicated receive antenna inputs for...

Found this whilst doing some WEB surfing on radios.... Looking at some photos of the Maxlog M-8900 on the DD182003 Blog site, I zoomed in on one of the photos of a dozen or more of the M-8900 in a factory JPEG. I spied the ID 'RP-90' in the place of where it would say M-8900 and this led me to...

At Dayton 2016 I spotted this new HT by Kenwood, no name or number for it yet. The Kenwood rep would not let me hold it or even touch it! From what he said the Japanese Kenwood people brought it there just for one day, may be out for the Tokyo HAM fair in August. 73 Rod KB8DNS aka mechanic

Here are some useful Internet links, I am hopeful we all can add to this list! I'll add to this from time to time. Two to start off.... For the President HR-2510 and Lincoln: http://www.normsweb.com/tektips/lincoln.shtml General information from a Great CB store...

A bit of nostalgia going on here! Hoping to home brew a PA amp with vacuum tubes, something like the small Wawasee Jewel Box that uses a 6BQ5 final. What I am looking for are circuit diagrams and transformer sources. Not looking for kilo-Watt power here and nothing deadly. I have built...

Doing some WEB surfing and this popped on my browser.... An Ebay auction for what seems to be a homebrew and possible Chip Switch replacement. I do not have the link to the page and the auction was over a while back but I did save a few of the photos! I resized these to fit, not a lot of...
