    307 Amps 2X6 Base Amp Issue

    Doesn't that peak hold keep the number up when you quit talking?

    New Anytone 6666

    The power port might say 20A, but I would bet dollars to doughnuts that it is connected with a 16awg wire.

    307 Amps 2X6 Base Amp Issue

    With a 5 watt carrier, it should put out way more than 120w. Sounds like one of your drivers is blown.

    ANYONE ELSE QUESTION WHY YOU KEEP WATCHING A FAVORITE TEAM?

    When I was a kid, I was a Steelers fan back in the Terry Bradshaw days, he was my hero. After he left, it wasn't the same, haven't really been into football since.

    Rumors of my demise are only partially correct...

    I was trying to find a video about how to cure your zombie condition. But then I found this and got sidetracked. Sorry.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Great contacts, I haven't talked to Maxine since about this time last year. Hope your throat feels better. Try eating some raw onion, it has anti viral and anti bacterial properties. Sugar on chopped raw onion makes a cough syrup too. I like onions, can you tell? 73&51

    AT-5555N2 short version

    Thanks for the pictures, looks like the short N2 will be a perfect fit. The mic plug is not an issue as I unplug it to close the lid. The N2 has some really long knobs on it but the chassis is shorter so it should still work. I will be sure to post pictures when I eventually get it done.

    SWR IS SUDDENLY PEGGED OUT

    I always check mine when I power up along with an audio check on my monitor radio. The President and Anytone radios that show the SWR on the display is handy too.

    AT-5555N2 short version

    It looks like it would be a close fit for a tall 50 ammo can. I am going to save up my pennies and try one. Going to replace the 6666 because the noise reduction on my other radios has spoiled me.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Just checked in with 605 Texas, haven't heard him in a while. Hearing lots of DX from UK. Get it while it's hot!

    Ameritron 811 only putting out 200 watts

    Forty watts drive sounds low, how much power were you driving it with? I think it takes 100w drive for rated output?

    Ameritron 811 only putting out 200 watts

    Might be something wrong with the nut holding the microphone? :ROFLMAO: Welcome! Sorry I couldn't resist. Does he know how to tune it? Is it wired for 220 but plugged into 120? Is he driving it with a QRP radio? We really need more information if we are going to be any help. Maybe he can take...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Hey JJ, I heard you and the California station. Your signal went from booming to in the mud and eventually back to booming. I just figured it was the way DX goes, although the California station was booming the whole time. You guys couldn't hear me, but I did make contact with Arizona. 73 & 51

    It's booming right now, a lot of European stations talking deep into the heart land of USA. Don't forget the zeros!
