    Tech Special - Blown Late Model HG Texas Star 500V

    Here's a Tech Special. About 1 year old previously lightly used 500V with gold label HG 2879's. I got it from a friend who got it new and rarely used. Worked great, seeing 525 out with 1 watt dead key on 14.4 volts. Has had Heavy Wire Internal mod performed. I blew it up by accidentally running...

    Let's Pick The Nits on the % Wave Claim on some Verticals

    Mildly amusing to consider how some manufacturers want to stretch the math regarding Wavelength Claims on particular-length antennas. I know of two at least that come in at 19 feet long and they are wanting to call them 5/8 types but they would seem to be closer to 1/2 wave. I realize that 5/8...

    MOSLEY 27 MHz Antenna Designs - GROUND PLANE - DP-275-27 - "Devant Special" 11 Meters

    Looks good, but I question the claim of 5/8 while being only 19 feet long. Same claim from my Sigma Viper 19 footer. But that's a topic for another post. For $400 for this guy .... I would put $70 with that and get the 22.5 foot Colossal 10K from Zero-Five.

    A quick and simple question

    Branding Mixing should be fine as long as they have the same specs and matchup electronically with all appropriate testing.

    Imax 2000 and added coil?

    The Imax will already work well with a tuner down to 15 meters. If you jury-rig it to go any lower it's probably not going to be efficient at all and you're just forcing a match that the radio will like. If you want 40M portable .... get an antenna made for the band.

    The Best Kept Secret in Mics

    Thanks for the tip Guys. Thought I would try one too. They must be floating around a lot of distributors .... Got the Aries Listed one from Amazon and the Emblem on my mic says "Power Mic" .... lol. Very generic. But it is working great. Sounds great. Keying is very quiet with no PTT noise...

    It Takes A Village

    First we had Channel 6. Then we were blessed with 28. Now, not to be left out, our Hispanic compadres have turned Ch 9 into the Taco Bowl. God Bless Cycle 25 :unsure:

    Variable cap identification

    If you get into doing a lot of work, you can always get a Capacitance Meter, commonly found as LCR Meters. They are common and don't cost too much.

    WTB 2 X 2290 Box

    Is RCI Shipping E Chips In Radio Boxes?

    If I get a new un-opened RCI 2970N3 from a store, is it going to have the E Chip in the box?

    New Stryker 995

    I guess so. They call the feature Compression for some reason. It knocks the noise down about 25%. Using ANL + NB also helps on noise along with the High Cut Filter. ...... but still this radio is a tad noisy for my taste. I'm thinking about trying an ATone Q6 sometime. Many say the RX is better...
