I guess you could buy it and run it until it blows up then return it saying the item wasn't as advertised....lol being a class C and not AB. All sellers are responsible for their listings right??
Hey, Shade. Your correct. That 16 pill is biased class C. He has the base of the transistors tied to ground thru resistors. That photo you have isn't angled correctly to see but this one is. P.S. Most of us know better about seeing the "AB1" stuff on transistor amps Ha Ha Ha. .
The cubical quad would be nice. It's a little larger and catches more wind load in comparison to just a yagi on the horizontal. I ran the Signal Engineering 8 element quad and the Lightning 4 element quad. Worked well, but I decided to try something new to me. I'm using just a 5 element on the...
I didn't hear you in there this morning, U812. Spoke to a couple of guys in Austin. Then I had a guy call me from Mexico. 110 Scorpion I believe. I haven't heard my buddy SOB#1 in there for awhile either. We are supposed to get some tornado weather moving in soon. I think Monday during the...
You have quoted me saying RF appears ON the braid. I did not say that RF travels through it, like you implied. Just so there are no more misunderstandings, The outer shield keeps the electromagnetic wave contained ,between the outer shield and the inner conductor while the RF travels from one...
Well, I decided to switch over to the 5 element on the flat side from the ground plane because I wasn't hearing anything on 38LSB. I tell you what, it's a whole new world out there. I heard a couple of guys talking. Maybe hitting me at 3 1/2- 4 S units. I decided to give them a call. The first...
I checked IC3 (TA7310P) and have my 10.245MHz on pin4, my 16+ MHz on pin1 and my 27+ MHz out on pin9. All other voltages on this mixer are good, so I can rule it out. TR14, TR15, TR16 are all good. Voltages in tx mode are what they are supposed to be. The audio transformer and diode are good as...
I sold mine for 250 with new stainless hardware and cleaned it up with some steel wool. It went as soon as I put it up for sale. Yours should go quick. What are you, or did you replace it with, Steve?
I have a Cobra 29 LX made in China. The radio worked fine. I keyed it up and unkeyed it about 4 times in a row into a dummy load and it just stopped transmitting after that. Receive works fine. The PA works fine. The radio does go into tx mode on the display but has no RF output or modulation. I...
38LSB opened up this morning around 10 Central time. . I had a pipeline to Texas. Spoke with about 4 or 5 guys around Dallas. Good signal reports going both ways :)
