    Cobra 29LTD channel light goes out on keyup

    Start with going back and closely re checking your work. Look for anything on/around the mike jack that may be shorted or any little solder blobs that may have made there way in while you were working. Pictures of the area if possible help members spot things amiss.... 73 Jeff

    Yaesu FT-897D Issue

    Mine still plugs right along, I have been using it often with the latest band conditions on HF. When they came out they were the best little station in a box you could buy. With the built in batt packs and tuner it was a complete portable station with a handle on the side. The display on mine...

    May be that you can find some time to finish that six meter amp, or work on the antennas, or maybe even play radio a little. Then there is the yard, the brush, the driveway, fixing the bridge, and any possible hunny do's that might pop up. 73 Jeff

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Oh, forget the say that the antenna I am using today is the vertical dipole I made out of two mobile whips mounted to the balcony with the feed point about ten feet above ground, that's how hot the band is. (I also worked Japan and South Korea on this same antenna in the last week.) Work them...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    The band is open here, the noise level is up but if you dig a bit you can get them. Mostly Virginia, Tennessee plus a couple stations in Florida but most of the channels above 35 have SSB traffic. Good Luck on great DX. 73 Jeff (Ten meters is also alive worked Hawaii and Japan...

    Bobby if you are running one of the new radios with NR it will not. Older radios can benefit from the noise reduction. 73 Jeff

    Siltronix 1011d no filament voltage. In need of a transformer

    I cleaned this up, it was not going to end well. I am not sure if you expected someone to just have this part sitting around or a part number in stock from mouser but why cop a attitude when members are trying to help? Jezz 73 Jeff
