That's funny. I left a galaxy radio keyed by accident in a jig for over an hour with no load. It has a pair of.... IRF520s. Amazing little devices. Not detonation. Hotter than the blazes of hell itself but still going. And no, "voltage drop" won't cause them to combust either. You are so well...

Anybody with a curve tracer that knows how to use it. Matching MOSFETs is a somewhat trivial exercise. I just pulled 20 FQP13N10s out of my stock and all their Vgs values were within hundredths of a volt and that was just a quick test. Most were the same. In audiophool circles those would be...

BS. I have been using them in production systems for OVER A DECADE. They are cheap, reliable, and easy to get. Friends do not let friends buy Chinese custom branded semiconductors.

LOL! Pot, meet kettle. Emphasis mine.

Ok, I had to look closer at it to see what was going on. I see now. May have to pick one of those up.

How much does that affect the SWR? Seems like you would be adding a couple of inches to the antenna?

How long did it take Fine Tunes to resolve it? How many times did this person have to ship it to him? Just the once?

"a single frequency" is nonsense. I nearly fell out of my chair and it's a Monday so I needed a laugh. Practice what you preached in your video and do not drink the kool-aid. Single frequency... LOLLERSKATES..... that one made me laugh. Now.. let me explain the engineering behind this...

I need to see how much this radio I have has been hacked and slashed. It's an interesting issue and I might be so inclined to see what its about. It may just be the way it is, too.

Thanks everyone. From what little poking I have done on the subject it seems to differ depending on who is using the term. Radios like the Anytone 6666 or Stryker 955 effectively have "linears" built-in. But, yeah other than cracking these style radios open to take them out of 10/12 meter...

Ok, I had to go look... Handy Andy peaked my curiosity. The video is damaged anyway. it seems to stop at points unless that was done intentionally. I didn't watch it all because it's just another rabbi hit piece. However, some others may be interested to know this. I just swept an 858 sideband...

When I search around the term "barefoot" seems to have a rather subjective meaning today, but go back in time and it was pretty black and white. If you look at postings and discussions on the internet from back in the 90s the consensus was that "barefoot" was a radio that was running legal...

I think he does Fine Tunes more harm than good because of the trolling. I likely would have never heard of him if it was not for the absolute insane claims made. But people tell me I have to look at this guy... the incredible claims that make the engineers running the deep space network look...

Well, Rabbi said before that his (Fine Tune CBs) speciality was amplifiers anyway so I fail to see how he can do any of this that's outside of his speciality. Willing to give the benefit of a doubt even if he is, by Rabbi's own admission speaking on his behalf, a specialist in Linears.

Even if you knew more than turning screws you cannot get rid of all distortion. We mere humans to not posses that level of technology which will probably require exotic substances not known to man or violate the laws of nature to achieve. It may be very low and inaudible but its there. We are...

"Romper Room Radio Repair" Really dude?

Distortion isn't something you can get rid of. You can reduce it, not get rid of it. I am feeling generous. Show me the video and if it's BS I will call it as such. Is distortion a "good thing"? in some circles, yes. The audiophool communities do like some distortion but that's a whole other...

I see Rabbi is getting windows paint out and creating graphics to once again try to insult and demean someone else that's not even mentioned here. I want to see your FAO Schwarz level gear rabbi. And include Fine Tunes as well. Lest we even get into how much more you can do with what's in the...

+1 on replacing caps in 40 year old radios like a 78 vintage 148. The counter isn't going to be able to count AM modulated signals properly. It should be fine with just a carrier. Sideband has no carrier so that's why it seems to work with a tone but off frequency. I am guessing this counter...

He relies quite often on parallax error to occlude what he is doing. He knows how to work the camera. He cuts the sides off intentionally. If you can't see it you can't replicate it. Listen for the Tek scope click. It will happen at seemingly odd points. You draw your own conclusion. I sat in...
