    Lafayette Telsat 140 alignment question

    200 cycles off in a radio that old is pretty good. on AM it don't mean squat & on SSB they can tune you in. Use it & enjoy the old gear, could just be parts aging & changing value.

    LDG AT-100Proii questions??

    The at-100pro2 display provides more info than the z- series, also manual fine tune. Spend the $50 now because your only going to want to upgrade later IMHO

    Looking at getting a compact SSB rig for the compact car.

    I've had my 980 about a month now and don't regret getting it. I needed another radio like another bypass surgery but am pleased with it.

    LDG AT-100Proii questions??

    Looking at getting a compact SSB rig for the compact car.

    Decent audio, good receive, stable on frequency,nice display. Nothing "meh" about the 980. For what they sell for I think it's a bargain.

    Hey older hammies, what's with the attitude???

    Some people are just anti-social miserable jerks. Why they even involve them selves in group activities will remain a mystery. Happy New Year to all.

    Checking swr on a radio,would power lines affect it?

    With all the plastic in vehicles today & the sound deadening material they stuff in between panels it is almost impossible to get a real good ground. With out a good ground it is hard to get a good vswr. Try bonding the doors & trunk to the body frame.
