Now I got ya !! It looks like a cool radio I am a mere CB guy so I don't know much but I hope you like it ! You can convert it to 11 Meters if you want to talk on CB band lol First thing that popped up in google was a crystal conversion kit for the CB band haha
Awesome new piece , hope we get...
So is this just a receiver or is it a transmitter as well I googled it and found a shortwave radio receiver only . But Im not the brightest bulb on the interweb lol
Welcome , Brian
That's my plan , let the 2950 or the 3300hp stay cool but have enough power to excite the Mosfets . I would prefer a straight 6 honestly but I think RM Italy is the only one offering a straight 6 FET right now and I have not had much luck with them . They make cool products but Im a bit of a...
I'm 99% sure he designs the boards and outsources that part of the builds only . He has pics of the XL1000 board and its a blank slate just the traces he designed waiting for him to add components . I have been following 2 schools of RF amplification (and I'm just a hobbyist not a tech ) : LDMOS...
Straight up buddy Im just an interested party . I will be paying full price like everybody else . Rocket is trying to logon but cant verify email for some reason .I just reached out to him and started talking to him .
Sorry , Brian
Yeah I find Facebook an absolutely horrible part of my life but it actually a big part of my business and the band that I manage for my buddy .Am evil necessity for me it sucks !
But anyway sorry lol
the 2x4 Is $439 the straight 4 is only $359 I prefer to run my own 2 pill driver so that's...
He isn't selling kits right now only built amps but im ordering the HD500 this week to take it for a spin !! Im personally interested in a kit myself so hopefully if I get him some sales he will box me up some kits lol ! I did ask and he has sold them in the past but he had problems with returns...
You got it buddy ! That's actually the LD500-MOS low drive ! Its the same board as the HD-500 he just bypasses the driver section on the HD sorry about that !
Let me correct myself !! This is the low drive 2 Driving 4 but its the same board he uses to build the HD-500 he just cuts out the driver stage on the HD . Sorry Im just the middle man here haha I That's the LD500-MOS
10-4 I hear you but work with smds isn't as bad as most people think ;) (with good lighting ,a good soldering iron , steady hand and good vision lol)
The smds are actually easier in my opinion if you have a steady hand and a tiny tip on a high wattage iron . I dab flux on the pads and the...
Hello DX land , I contacted Rocketbox to get some info on the amplifiers ! For those who don't know Rocketbox is a one man show building his amps in the USA in Las Vegas . It was hard for me to find info because his only contact info is currently on Facebook only . He had a website but is too...
Hey guys Im starting a Rocketbox thread , I contacted the builder in Las Vegas . He is a one man band building these amps in the USA !!! He is currently cleaning up the audio on the first complete XL1000 and should have them ready soon for under $899.00 USD !! I asked him to send me pics and...
Hey undertaker the max draw this gentleman in the video can draw on usb and lsb is 34.XX amps with the radio wide open . A good stable 50amp supply should be able to push 300 watts with very little fade and certainly no display shut down ! What Brand and Model is the power supply if you dont...
What will be generating the tone ? A tone gen app on a phone works great ! Just run an 1/8" headphone plug into a wire in your switch box and plug in the phone and pick sound in Mhz ! I have also just held mic up to speaker phone but I like building stuff si I will give your Idea a try muself ...
Ok so I have a really old , I believe 1st gen Ranger 2950 . A buddy did a display LED "mod" for lack of a better word ;( All display and faceplate(button) lighting was dead ) but display still was working .) as you can see in the pics he tapped into a plug on the board to find ABOUT 12 volts and...
I contacted an eBay seller as well as leaving a Facebook message and the builder is (from what I'm told ) currently on vacation but lives here in the USA in Las Vegas . I saw on one Facebook post to allow 3-5 days for build time (not exact quote) so I believe they are at least assembled in the...
Has anybody seen an alternative way to check ROCKETBOX out ?? I DO do facebook (as little as possible) but there isn't much info on the Rocketbox site?? Im always wondering why we don't have some more "slightly mass produced" amps ? Im also down to support anything built in the USA . I have only...
