I always match my resistors and capacitors as well to make sure I have a good balance. It wouldn't be a bad idea seeing you have to rebuild it. I use 1% resistors and 5% capacitors. Use your meter to find the components that are as close as possible. Good Luck !

Good Job !!

You have 3 transistors for your AM mod amp. Use a voltmeter and take some measurements in AM mode on these transistors and compare with what I have below. TR49 Base 6.10v in tx Collector 12.10v in tx Emitter 5.6v in tx TR50 Base 12.10v in tx Collector 5.60v in...

Physically they will drop in but the electrical characteristics are different. You would have to change input and outputs to accommodate the higher collector to emitter and collector to base voltages on the MRF454's. The MRF455/SRF2072 will work fine.

Atta boy!! 357 magnum getting down!!! Never heard an oscillator like 018's on key up. That's different.

I was heart broken. I was shipped a new boom section as a replacement but took her down and put her into storage. That was back in the 80's.

Here you go. 1 pic is of the 8 element quad on the ladders waiting for the crane to lift it up on the tower. 2nd pic is of it up on the tower. 3rd pic is after the ice storm. You can see the ice weighing down the spreaders and wires...lol

Just copy the LIGHTNING 4 element quad. Its a true full wave and beats any other quad out there. IMO I had an 8 element quad up north that part of the 42 foot long boom broke in half from a nasty ice storm. I was sent a replacement boom section and ended up making 2- 4 element quads from it. I...

Talked to a few stations in Texas this morning using a stock Galaxy DX-98VHP. It is a customers unit that was in for repair. It has rockin audio but hey, it's a typical Galaxy and needs the clarifier turned every so often to stay on frequency.

It's so quiet here I can hear Recon's dog snoring. ha ha

What other channel is there??????? LMAO 38LSB

Tr36 must have 8v on the collector in receive mode and 0v in transmit mode. Tr38 must have 0v on the collector in receive mode and 8v in transmit mode. Please double check these and post back with your findings.

Yep. The MS-119 made by Antenna Specialists. A really nice antenna. I used to run one up 110 feet just outside Toronto. Still have one spanking new in the box and no it's not for sale :) I got that and the M-134 "Mariner" 5 element beam from a storage unit sale. The Mariner is what I just put...

I just picked up the export version with FM. Just finished recapping it today, actually. Going to start the alignment on it in the morning. It has the Hi/LO toggle for extra channels.

Hey Recon. I spoke to Gary again today. He is 327 in the mobile and is from Staten Island :) Have you ever talked with him?

Check your PM :)

unit 553 was sounding good coming into the Bam today from his mobile. The condition was up and down but you made it thru :)

Texas rolling into the Bam now.

Ok, cool. Those readings are correct then. Post the voltages in TX mode when you get them.

Skip is a rollin on 38 LSB right now !
