I've been using the West Mountain Radio processor units without the speaker and it work fine. As a matter of fact I bought 2 of them, 1 for the base station and 1 for my travel vehicle. I already have too many speakers to plug into them !
Turned on the DX 2547 this morning and DX was rolling a little & was able to make a Wisconsin contact on 38lsb who said my radio sounded good, so I guess it is burning thru the clutter. Unfortunately for me I couldn't pull him out real well because of the clutter. But it is a start so when I get...
Thanks for the reply Nomad ! I just don't want to burn up my radio or amp. I've given a shout to DX land but haven't got a come back yet. I'll mark where the AMC is at and then try to tweak it up a little.
A few days ago I hooked up my DX 2547 to try it out with some DX rolling and noticed I had to turn up the RF power adjustment a little higher on dead key to get my meter to swing as high as some of my other radios. So I investigated the modulation on AM and found it was only about 75%. So I...
Heat ! What a wonderful Idea. They tell me just to work harder and generate my own. LOL I did have to buy a little Kubota BX 2350 with a bucket cause climbing into the cockpit of the Super A is getting harder for a old fart !
We had to go in the silo & hand fork that corn silage out of the port and some times you would get a blast of that fermented gas. I didn't mind the hard work it was hand shoveling the manure out of the drop and onto a stone bolt to be drug out and hand spread on the fields. He even had a team...
That brings home the old days when we put it in the barn loose or bales that I thought weighed more than me. Cow manure was the fragrance drifting threw the neighborhood. Told myself back then I wouldn't be a farmer, only because of the Manure. My step granddad did everything the old hard way...
I was hearing some action on some of the other high 30s lsb also on my DX 979 so I give a shout for a buddy in Texas but was running barefoot so didn't hope for much success.
I seem to be experiencing a little up-swing in DX coming in lately. Don't want to brag because it will drop out from under me. Did hear Southern Cal. come in on my DX 2547 while I was bathing this morning and it sounded strong. That is a first to hear that area for me on the base. I think I have...
1 guy told me he saved his dryer lint inside the center tubes from toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls for starting fires. Never tried it but sounds thrifty & logical. LOL
I dug mine out and hooked it up last night and was pleasantly surprised to find dx rolling in. So I turned it on this morning and found DX coming in again. After my morning coffee I'll have to start giving a few shouts on it. It might prod me to add the extra channels and VFO. I already have the...
If i had a radio repairman close by I wouldn't mind rebuilding the good old stuff, but the closest to me is 3.5 hours away so it's drive or be at shippers mercy. And I hate banged up boxes on my doorstep ! GRRRRRRRRRR
