    QRP operations

    I have Yaesu FT-817, Heathkit HW-7, Magnum 1012, Mizuho MX-28S. I get the biggest kick from the Mizuho. The Heathkit sucks, so does the Magnum 1012. The 817 also generates a bit of fun, event though I despise it. It works really well, but I hate the user interface.

    need parts or its for sale

    That's good news. Whatever it takes, you will get a working display. Every time I worked on of of those or its variants, I was wowed by the receiver in that tiny SSB radio, it is one of a kind.

    need parts or its for sale

    I have the Workman parts here. Or, I'll get you a Kingbright sub part number when I get to my bench. I am working on other projects this week. You can get the Kingbright from any parts house.

    That's total BS.

    need parts or its for sale

    That is a common part. Common anode 2 digit display. May be a TLR321, but going from memory, that is going. Should be no problem obtaining a usable sub, based on dimensions and footprint.

    Me and the FCC

    You need to first come to a conclusion as to what the interference is. How do you know it is from the house you say it is? The first step is to audio record the noise in AM mode. Second step, is to determine the frequency of the noise by measuring the time/period of the peaks. can give a clue...

    Uniden PC122XL - No Transmit

    Too bad we didn't know this from the start. That radio is so tiny, by comparison to other SSB radios. It has a really good RX, so you should enjoy it.

    Check the final junctions. Look for a BC short.

    Radioddity QT-60 *Pro*

    I do know that they are bound by price constraints on Xiegu and some others. I was wondering the same thing on the QT-60 Pro sale + discount. I wonder if they lost $$$ on that deal. They even include shipping! Crazy cheap for a badass radio! I would bet Mad Max would have one of those in his...

    Radioddity QT-60 *Pro*

    I'll bring a hammer drill and some advil. The Pro is quite good I have to say. I will be reviewing it shortly.

    Uniden PC122XL - No Transmit

    If the radio does not TX in SSB, look past the AM regulator. The TX achieves RF power in stages. The final, is just that, the final stage. If the stages before the final are operating, you can see a small signal from the exciter on a spec an or using a second RX. The final is TR538. The pinout...

    Uniden PC122XL - No Transmit

    I would check the final PA transistor. The conditions, that it was subjected to, could have caused it to fail. It should be a 2SC1969 or 2SC2312. Another thing I would do first, is see if you have any exciter power, by using a second receiver or spectrum analyzer. If you see signal fro the...
