    mic help

    I recently picked up a Heil MH-12 Genesis mic with a 4-pin connector, and I'm trying to use it with my FT-890. The only adjustment I could make on my radio is pressing Fast + USB to reduce some of the bass, but the mic still lacks treble. I remember an old trick for CB mics where you take a .01...

    Hardcord hams on QRZ

    i tried it on 20 meters last night the input between the radio and amp was adjusted to the lowest which ended at 1.5 SWR. The input trimmer was put in place of the receive switch for easy access when only the low side is used. also, more capacitance was added for the tunning range. with 40 watts...

    Hardcord hams on QRZ

    This was my question = pick up a Palomar 300A with 8 extra sets of tubes. is 40-watt drive on low for 20 meters about right ?? don't want to overdrive the tubes using FT-890. Or can I lower the carrier to 5 watts and use it on the high side?

    Hardcord hams on QRZ

    man them supper strictly hardcore ham guys on QRZ are rough they said it's a waste of time to use a Palomar 300A on 10 or 20 meters when the radio these days does 100 watts and the Palomar running it in clean mode is only 150 watts. here is the quote Being a 300W "Input" (As they were rated...
