    Lets logically end the LMR-400 debate.

    Personally, I am not a fan of it. I have purchased hundreds of thousands of feet of it in my professional life, regretting a lot of it. At HF, I use RG-8/U whenever possible.

    Lets logically end the LMR-400 debate.

    9913 is not RG8/U. Unlike RG8/U and it's military designated counterpart RG-213, 9913 is an air dielectric cable. Which is not used outdoors in the wireless industry, due to water intrusion/condensation.

    your input on the Yaesu FT-990

    The difficult part is that you need to have the 3 board service kit to properly work on this model It was rather expensive to buy from Yaesu, close to $400 for 3 extender boards. The other difficulty, is getting parts. I used to work on this model and have the service kit. What is wrong with...

    Radioddity QT80 (6666 pro clone)

    If the power output was in fact low, it could have been adjusted rather easily, since you have a high end wattmeter.

    What is your favorite brand of antennas

    There are a few guys still rebuilding the oldest of old, CDE/Hy-Gain rotors. I rebuilt my T2X over 30 years ago. I am going to see how it does. If not good, I am sure it is just grease that hardened, that I will clean out and replace with synthetic bearing grease. Friends, don't let friends buy...

    What is your favorite brand of antennas

    Uniden Madison MB8719 All Channels 10 khz down

    Try removing 8 volts (or whatever someone tied to it) from the clarifier circuit. See if the freq shifts. That should tell you if you are on track with a varactor. If it is a switching diode, it will most likely be in the PLL programming. But, you said you have already been through that.

    Portable Generator Power Quality Questions

    The reason for the amp failing, is anyone's guess. As far as running your stuff on that gen, ...just do it. A lot of electronics these days, are running on SMPS, which are conditioning the power they supply. A lot of them have a wide input voltage/freq range and still put out a regulated DC...
