Hello Nomadradio: Thanks for the input here greatly appreciated. Jay in the Great Mojave Desert

Hello Nomadradio: What voltages are needed to bias the driver tubes do you think? Thanks for any help here. Jay in the Great Mojave Desert

Hello Robalo: Ok your description is a little thin. Hard to help out with just one photo. What are the holes in the tubing, are from wear and tear?. Can you give us more info as to what is was doing and when the VSWR was moving around. Jay in the Great Mojave Desert

I went back and tried the wire wrapped around the coax, it didn't work on bare foot power but did work on dead key 150 watts. Had the scope on 5 Mv scale and was able to seen the envelope and carrier. This method had approx a 80dB isolation factor which isolates the scope from harmful input to...

A simple way to see your transmitted signal is to wrap a single wire around the coax say 4 to 10 turns and connect the scope leads to the wire ends. This isolates any direct damaging rf energy going to the scope. Using slower sweep time you should see the AM RF Signal Envelop, the carrier and...

I have a couple Motorola 550 mobiles and a Base Motorola 555, it seems like the Motorola Mic's use a extremely small wire that makes up the Dynanic Mic coil, that breaks resulting in no audio to the radios. Kens Electronics has or had microphone elements that replaced the orginal Motorola mic...

All right HomerBB good going! You don't want the coil or project to look perfect. As many many of my experiences (some successful) show the more imperfect the better they work. Please keep us informed as how it all works out for you. Balanced Antennas work. Jay in the Great Mojave Desert

Is it possible to bend the coil to relieve some of the tension? Not ever seeing one of these antennas Iam sure there is some "Bitchin" way to connect and hold that connection, maybe with a addition of U bracket of something else. Perhaps flatening the end of the coil and slipping the next...

Suggest keeping the ground radials as this is how it was designed. The ground radials have to be placed in line with the beams boom and the beams elements. I also suggest the ground radials are 8 to 9 feet above the beam, if possible. Please let us know how this works out for you. I have...

Had a rental house several years back, with the Tower / Moonracker and a ground plane antenna, I needed a access place for the coax and rotor wires. The wires running thru a opened window looked too Red Neck. I was told. A 2 inch pipe nipple 10 inches long, and a cap on one end, with Mr Sledge...

Hello Dr DX: Yes a excellent point. Jay in the Great Mojave Desert

Sell the orginal radio, buy a Stryker 955, done. Jay

This appears to be a hole in the ground, get a powerful light and look it over. Maybe pan some of the dirt. In Red Mountain Ca there going thru old tailings, and a armored truck shows every once and a while. I was never invited there. Jay in the Great Mojave Desert

As a creepy 9 year old kid, my uncle Marion took me out to the desert to dig for gold. We filled up the back of a pickup truck with dirt and went into Mojave to have it processed. It had $60.00 worth of gold that cost $100.00 to process. Jay in the Great Mojave Desert

Thanks Nimadradio for the different Palomar companies explained. I might try another call for kicks and to prove iam wrong again. Jay in the Great Mojave Desert.... Incerdiable rain lately

One other little thing I would like to say here. Some how I have been sucked into fixing the worlds most screwed up Palomar 300A Amp, u name it, its burned up! Oh good! I contacted the chief Engineer at Palomar, someone named Bob. I asked for copy of files and any documents on the 300A Amp...

Be advised there are two types of power supplies in the 300A, the shown diagram shows a voltage doubler circuit, and there are other 300A amps that use a full wave bridge circuit in the power supply. Good call to check the diodes, Nomadradio has said that the 4 diodes in the fullwave bridge...

it sounds like the gainmaster antenna may be using the coax shield as part of the ground plane, for maybe a 1/4 wavelength or so. Why is the common mode filter needed? Jay in the Great Mojave Desert

YO Mr. HomerBB: What is "Tefiva" is this some kind of antenna or antenna kit. Not seeing it on the net. Jay in the Great Mojave Desert.....

Hello AK: Suggest you have a local Tech or CB shop wire one up. Mic's are all over and the radio diagram is on CBtricks.com Jay in the Great Mojave Desert
