Yep , that's what I did....I used a half round small acorn nut......and brazed it on the tip.....

Yes on the replacements, no on removing those resistors....

Yeah, well be careful about that....... What the seller is showing in the photos and what is actually being shipped are not the same markings...... I would suggest you contact the seller to verify that the shipped product is exactly stamped as what is pictured for sale...... Are you interested...

I'm not too sure you are serious........ I have listed options to you in another post.......

I agree...... I use the ZEROFIVE Colossal 10K ....... Performs well on 10m and 11m..... And it is extremely robust and tough......

This is Not a CB amplifier..... And cannot be modified to operate on CB band...... I'm talking amateur (Ham) radio equipment / amplifiers..... You'll never get a quality new solid state HF LDMOS amplifier for under $1,000.... But they do have in development, a smaller 500 watts or so amplifier...

The Mercury amplifiers , Mercury llls & Mercury LUX, have been upgraded with a new LDMOS..... Lower drive for the same or more output. With my new LUX, I have to keep the drive level to no more than 10 ~12 watts to keep from over driving the amplifier over FLL...... The latest Mercury amplifiers...

Yes, but it was a specific batch of fake Toshiba 2879's........ They had a manufacturer code stamped on them of " 6J " ....... Don't know where they came from...... In my experience with them, they were more robust, performed better, and internally constructed much better than the HG...

Already has....... been gone for quite sometime now.....

And yes, I do have the Texas Star Sweet 16's for sale..... and others also...... All upgraded ....... See the link in one of my posts above......

You can Private Message me (start a conversation) and go from there....

Okay on this end. Did we talk on the radio ? Are you the Phantom Wolf above asking about the Sweet 16's ?

Although, I believe that a good layer of coax self vulcanizing sealant tape, covered with a layer of sun resistant 3M tape is better....... And easier to remove when required for whatever reason.....

Captain, I agree 100% with the way you are describing to use it.......You are covering and protecting the connector first..... My comment is meant for those that would just smear and coat the outside with silicone sealant...... Not a good way at all, and lazy and cheap......

Much better ways than that...... In my opinion, that is a lazy, cheap way that will not last, and not good for the connectors.......

Yep BJ, that's the way to do it, definitely.

Well, all that may be well and dandy, but I am one that does not desire to have to use an external computer in order to use my transceiver, at all ....... As posted above, ensure the antenna system is installed correctly and trace down the interference...... Just sayin' ........
