Yea I had a card file box. Come across it back some 17yrs back while doing some cleaning after my mom passed. Didn't think enough of it to keep it. That was from the mid to late 70s. I still remember my dads camper shell had the KCF 9455 on the back glass and a 108" steel whip on the bumper...

Thanks for making me think here. Looks like both 10uf 450v caps are bad. These are 1950 version, so, new ones can be expected to be a little smaller in physical size, correct? I see them on Amazon and are smaller.

KCF9455 Freebird

Well, I have to admit to you. I changed meters and 75w pep, it is.

This has a 6JU6, which is what the schematic (that I downloaded) shows ot should be. I googled it and it says to be a Beam Power Tube. Sounds good to me. It is definitely antique/vintage and shows about the same wattage as the TX-75 does (on my scrappy meter of course). Seems like I heard one...

I an going to start a Kris 300m thread for this. Thanks 2112

You are probably correct on the meter. I thought that was too much also. I figured that would get a faster response than just asking about it.LOL. I was thinking that is what the "75" is about. While on the subject, what should a Kris 300, 2 tube put out?

I made good contact this morning with Virginia, had to get back to weed eating. Gonna try again as I get back at it. Cheers 2112

I found a Palomar DX-75 at a flea market for $20USD, works great, My elcheapo meter shows somewhere around 150-175W with my Cobra 139XLR and D-104 mic.

had one of these back in 1977

Looks like LMR400 is the way to go for long coax

Thank you, I'm trying to stay under $100 for 75ftor 100ft. I see the Bolton is $89, I can handle that. Thanks again

Actually, I am remembering back in the 90s I knew a couple people that were getting 27-30 swing out of cobras. One was a cobra 25 and sounded great.

Can someone give me their feeling on this cable? For the price? https://www.amazon.com/XRDS-RF-Coaxial-Connector-Antenna-Analyzer/dp/B0BG1SX5Q7/?tag=worradfor-20

I got 2 old 29s, I want you to do that to...

Boy, they would have thrown me under the jail for eating that Jumbo Fish Sandwich from Captain D's yesterday. LoL

I will not buy one. I messed up and bought a welder with the new buttons and display, I don't like it, wish I had bought buttons.

My telepathy is connecting to you brother.does that count as a form of skip?

does this aurora borealis having anything to do with the skip?

yes it seemed strange to not here the usual bucket mouths on my way home from work this evening. NE Arkansas, is hearing crickets also.
