Interested in the Lincoln, if you still have it and cash will be on the way or Pay Pal.... thx es 73 Rod KB8DNS

If you still have the Lincoln.... I want it and consider it sold! 73 mechanic

Not as frequency agile as the newer rigs, no frequency read out or counter but still one of the best! Good find! Still looking for one! 73 mechanic

I stand corrected on my statement but I do agree on the error of checking SWR in SSB mode, it is possible the meter cannot keep up with the varying changes of the mode or it is possible there may be something of a problem with the mode.... faulty component perhaps? SWR is a good check of the...

What is the length of coax between the radio and the meter? Since coax transmission line is unbalanced, there is a need for proper length and depends on many factors beginning with the power out of the transmitter. SSB needs to be modulated with a continuous tone of a set level to have an...

Great radios! I have three of them and only one works right now, the others have electrolytic capacitors problems, one has the power regulator out and the other has the 10.240 crystal out. Out as in not working! Two are 30 watts and the last is a 100 Watts. 73 mechanic

Holden Commodore = Chevy Impala SS!! Same car.... And yes I like my Maxlog 8900, I expect it not to perfect, it limitations can be lived with. I have no realities with Yeticomm's other rigs but looking forward to another.... next year when I have money! To answer a question of the 8900 being...

My question is.... Does your example have separate pass band for receive and transmit or are they adjusted as one? Mine has the adjustment for both on one setting. 73 mechanic

Had a power outage here because of high winds and stormy conditions, not that I like them to happen but it gives me a chance to fire up my reserve power systems. Mainly battery and most of my batteries are of the gel-cell type or sealed lead-acid. It is becoming known the Maxlog is not the...

CW is the only digital mode that the mind can work with directly! Memorizing the characters is the tough part.... There are mnemonics that can be used to make it easier. The cadence of certain letters can make for easier memorizing. An example would be for the letter L, in CW the Morse code...

May work well on a antenna switch box, to make it easier to remove one coax from the 'bunch' as it would stick out a bit more. Recessed antenna SO239 on the back of a two meter mobile? 73 mechanic

The 400 memories are enabled when you use the channel knob to 'tune' the channel to another frequency. This can be many 'channels away from where you start. An example would be to have channel 35 (27.355) retuned with the channel knob to 27.415. The 40 CB channel band would now have a new...

Doing a little DXing with the Maxlog, worked Chile two days ago but anything in the states is all about static and noise! Did work a few around the South East several times, the 8900 has a nice receiver and 'pulls' in stations of low S units. 73 mechanic

Cobra 148GTL and Grant XL are dual conversion receivers while the 29 all types are single conversion.... There should be some headroom to adjust the 29 for gain in the RX area but nowhere near the 148 and Grant. Option would to use a preamp, either built-in or external. The old 'Channel...

Looks like I'll have to try one.... Thanks! 73 mechanic

I have a few friends at Alinco, I'll have to find out about this.... 73 mechanic

OMG is that too big! Sorry!

Rotary pots or volume controls are partially mechanical and are prone to mechanical problems. It could be just dirty or dusty or a warped resistor surface, maybe a loose wiper. Any good repair center can replace it or one of the available technicians near you that may chime on this site. 73...
