    Full wave antennas for CB

    When you say fold it over, do you mean folding over the end and shorting it to itself to shorten it or do you mean just folding it over like a u and keeping it separated

    If you see the name "Hollon" on an amplifier, think "nightmare".

    Ive seen worse. That box could be made to run quite well with basic things/tune up. I also like that you did a fixed tuned input, that's what I do on the majority of my boxers that are smaller, there's no need for a variable tuned input for a single band box

    low output from this 4 pill

    Ok.back to the point. Is the coax shorted? Did you move the wire and rekey? Does the relay click when u key the box? 5 pages of debate about transistors and lowpass filters and YouTube, jesus guys ... Help the guy fix his box, not lecture him.

    Unobtanium power switch substitute for the SB220, sorta, kinda.

    Even just a slotted piece of black abs, or poster board with double sided tape would do it

    Unobtanium power switch substitute for the SB220, sorta, kinda.

    You know what would really finish this off and make it look very factory? If you could take a thin sheet of rubber or plastic and slot it to be the width of the rocker and then just sticky it in behind the panel. It will close off the gap and look factory. I have a buddy that builds amplifiers...

    Who works on Texas Star amps?

    Since the demise of the Toshiba everybody has had to figure out how to make junk work. To me, its not worth the hassle and , tbh, very low profit margins, to build a dc box. Ive learned that the hg transistors must be matched well and more than that the circuit must be matched well. Not alot of...

    Brute Force amplifiers, what happened to them

    Any ideas? I only ever saw a couple pics, I thought they looked cool. Did they fold? Who sold them? Who made them?

    Who works on Texas Star amps?

    My buddy told me when he called galaxy they told him they were building on avg 3-5 amplifiers a day. Per. Day. That's it. That's why they are scarce currently. Repairs are behind more than that I suppose. Who knows. It's all very nebulous.

    Does this 1.2 KW amp from china look right?

    Another word about these MOSFET boards on eBay, while they may be an amplifier. Technically, most of them don't incorporate a complex bias scheme or any transmit receive switching. Bias on these MOSFETs is not as simple as a diode and resistor.

    Don't these newer Ford's have aluminum roofs that aren't bonded or something? I read that somewhere...

    Small single 3-500z base amp Mountain Top Electronics

    Yeah, I priced it to move on out. Not a lot of profit but it was fun to build in a small cabinet.
