I'd take the fiberglass whip with the copper wire assuming it's as long or longer than the other one.

He finally found something he's good at. He's selling real estate in Arizona.

Any amount of money you spend to mount your antenna to the bed rail of your truck is only going to yield Maybe 20% of the performance you could get with a $3 roof mount and Wilson 5000 on your roof. Spending more doesn't always get you more performance and sometimes the best solution costs the...

Just by switching out the parts you may or may not see a difference. It depends on how much Distortion you have to begin with and at what frequency that Distortion occurs. That's true hack shops that don't have a clue how to tune are definitely taking people's money by swapping out parts...

That's not just an opinion. That's common sense at its finest.

Even the newer Ameritron ALS-500 has junk mismatched finals. The original ALS-500 had real mismatched Toshibas.

It doesn't. If you volunteer your time to match other transistors I'm sure folks would be willing to buy matched sets. Until then, Palomar seems to be the only outfit doing it.

That's pretty drastic and it gets exponentially worse the more you have working in parallel. The 98vhp is a prime example. That's where those matched Palomar transistors come in handy. Naturally a service manual isn't going to help you solve the issue.

Probably more critical. They need to switch in unison. They won't if not matched.

First one I saw the input tune was all screwed up. Since they use mismatched mosfets they generate lots of distortion. If they were built correctly they would have lots of potential. Building them correctly means the cost would have to go up I highly doubt he's willing to do that.

With this new LTO technology weight is becoming less of an issue.. 1300 mah for 25 bucks plus it's rated for 30000 charging Cycles. https://www.ev-power.eu/LTO-technology/LTO1865-Battery-12V-1300-mAh-15-6Wh-Lithium-Titanate.html

I use carbon film just to be safe.

Where's the proof? Does Mark19960 have a video? I suspect not.

Nobody said I ever worked at any shop anywhere. That's not to say I haven't owned a radio tuned by you.

All of your mathematical figures had to do with temperature and had nothing to do with the laws of probability in regards to what would happen in case of a component failure. This makes those mathematical calculations Irrelevant in regards to whether or not a component will have a direct short...

Any component can fail if you're experimenting with gate voltages. How else can you learn the limitations of a component unless you push it to its limits or play with different voltages? I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the tip 36 I'm just saying that the majority of the time it fails...

Gee that's wonderful and makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside that they were able to do some mathematical calculations. Unfortunately those calculations are completely useless since the tip 36 95% of the time when it fails will always send line voltage directly to the finals causing them to...

How much is a new one? I got mine second hand

Cramming a 3.7 volt Lipo cell into an AA enclosure, and sticking a 3.7 volt to 1.5 volt regulator inside was a stroke of genius. The only catch is a proprietary charger is needed to bypass the 1.5v regulator.

Yes I mentioned it a long time ago. The DNC520 is one of the better options and sounds amazing on my radio anyway.
