    maxlog M8900

    Maxlog made the Magnum One for Eric, and I am surprised he did not continue because they had a great receiver. Very quiet. One of the best.

    maxlog M8900

    Maxlog has gone and crawled under a log by the look of things. I don't think we will hear from them again.

    CRT SS7900V Turbo 5khz Step Request

    It will be easier for you just to program in the 5khz steps from the computer. There are a bunch of band space in 25 and 26mhz that can be utilized for 5khz steps in the freeband from 27.405 thru 27.700 or whatever.

    Better than average SSB radio

    No Dave, They are good. The 200's are crap on SSB.

    Better than average SSB radio

    I think it all depends what you want to do with your new set up. Talk local or talk skip? The band today is a different beast to what it used to be. A lot more man made noise and a lot less operators. The legal 12 watts doesn't seem to go as far as it used to back in the 70's. You are going to...

    Home power supply for linear amp - ever used one of these type?

    You have to be careful using amplifiers with Switch Mode Power supplies on SSB. Switch modes work well with constant current drain but when the drain is rapidly changing like with the voice peaks on SSB some supplies eventually break down. Make sure you have twice the capacity in amps that you...

    The New Anytone 5555 Plus/N

    I think you are right. For the time being only Anytone in China will will be able to repair these if required. That usually means the user will have to pay the postage both ways, but it also means it will be fixed or replaced.

    The New Anytone 5555 Plus/N

    The At-5555N II does not have the noise compander option in the menu. The above post is primarily for the AT-5555 Plus /N. It seems to enhance the receive audio a bit on SSB. So far I must say it doesn't make that much difference. Maybe on AM or FM?

    Anytone at-5555 PLUS

    Were you able to get it to work on 11m just by using the Ver 7.01 software? Anything else involved? The radio presumably goes down to 24.715 mhz now.? The mic is dynamic, and the mic gain is 31 out of the box and the max is 63 so lots of adjustment there. I am seeing 12w carrier and 43 Pep on...

    RM KL505 Preamp LED flicker

    Sounds like you have some RF coming back down the coax. Try a choke between the amp and antenna. Especially with end fed or mobile antenna set ups.

    Antenna Experts Needed: Common mode filter issue

    So Nightowl, What have you done? What have we learnt? Anything worth sharing?

    Antenna Experts Needed: Common mode filter issue

    Agreed. Take off the added choke you put at the base of the gainmaster and see what changes if any the shack choke makes. All end feds seem to work better with some unchoked coax under them.
