ok, i use a .01 cap, which seems to help lower some bass but to me, it almost has like a tad of nasally sound.

will give that a try later on thanks nomad

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...

i found this page for an astatic D104 desk mic with every radio possible out here wiring=https://www.qsl.net/g4wpw/astaticbook.pdf?fbclid=IwY2xjawFp9rhleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHUG_WY3SqbTCtUbS5dJVjMhRz9tjMsVudsjcwIZ98VuMXK8D_TFa-igMfQ_aem_TiOfk3HnDJFh4WUH09KHEw

i have an amplified astatic tug-8 desk mic with an extra working head original cartridge wire for a 4-pin Cobra or Yaesu ft-101 I am looking to trade for a Yaesu MD-100A8X deluxe Dynamic desk microphone

close enough for me

This question if for those who at one time or still have one a WM-1 autec meter I need to adjust the SWR side on my MFJ-259-B which I was lucky enough to have it re-calibrated in February 2024 before they shut down. on the mfj on 40 meters say 7.205 shows a 1.7 SWR the wm-1 shows 1.4 on 20...

i got corrected when i wrote when I set the dead key on my yaesu they replied it's not called dead key the terminology is call carrier. LOL

radio, amp, and power supply

the amp builder was thinking ahead. every time I stepped on it last night I thought I was running a cx3000A box LOL

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...

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?

i had an amp builder fix the 20-meter band for me that's usually where I talk. on the low side, 35 watts drive from the radio got it back last night this morning made contact with NJ I was told the audio was up and the signal compare to just the 100 watts from the radio

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...

my antenna 40-10 1kw my sole and only interest is for 40 meters and 20 meters only box 5ft of the ground using as an inverted V push-up pole 25 ft at the apex rg 213 double shielded 100ft with a 1.1 balun at the box

how do i bring the ohms up? from the lower freq, 7.0628 at 50 ohms to 7.205 at 35 ohms see pics I mainly ragchew from 7.175 to 7.260

i think I need to go up in height that's 3 feet off the ground

quick question on an EFHW wire if the SWR is lowest in the lower band but you use a bid higher freq example 7.015 to 7.120 SWR 1.2 I rag-chew from 7.165 to 7.250 SWR 1.9 do I shorten it or length it? also only using 40,20 and 15 meters do I tune on 20 meters so the 2 other bands come down or do...

I got a chance to check at tp1009 according to the service manual and the freq checks good there. don't understand why the digital display shows off

Thanks, guys for the guidance i just want it, for alignment nothing else especially my yaesu ft-890
