I have went round and round with people and even had to explain this to a few fellow Ham operators!! The biggest argument was "Well my meter does have a power cord!!!" Then I have to explain that 9 tmes out of 10 that power cord is strictly for the light the meter may have in it for night...
I have several Tuners and will tell you now that I have 2 of the 962D models and can tell you they are rated at 800 Watts Output. You have to remember that the front saying 1.5 Kilowatt input does NOT mean it will take 1,500 Watt!! People are confused by this and that input rating is NOT the...
I have the 857 and 897 great radios!! What are you seeing for power?? If its around 80 watts that's what mine show on a good average meter now on a true active peak reading meter you would see 100 watts PEP
This radio had all the symptoms of a side flash of a static burst (Near by lightning) It seemed his VCO's were out of whack aswell. I cant tell people enough to ground coax from antenna rather its a lightning arrestor pl-259 - so-239 with ground lug or a low pass filter with ground lug. Im not...
Just got the news my son Mason KC9OOB got Expert Marksman metal!! I knew he could shoot and never misses and ironically was just wondering how he was doing with the shooting part of camp as I know hes a good shot and loves and knows his guns. He shot in the top 10% out of 500 soldiers he can...
I personally cant say all their product were or are junk, I own several items and yes like most companies Radio Shack does have some garbage in the thousands of products they have or had. There 2000 Watt analog SWR meters are far better built better and mor accurate than Dosy Workman and half...
I own a few Alinco repaired a few and have a few more to fix or send out. They all can break no matter what brand their electronic devices as far as ugly well their radios and I don't buy them or own them because they are "pretty" reliable is what matters when spending this kind of money or ide...
Yes I still have it people want it but everyone wants me to wait till tax time and I said first come first serve. Ive owned this radio for about 10 years its an outstanding radio and was my wifes HF rig this was her Movie Star radio as he called it because all the guys on the band said she...
Ive been thinking about doing the premium and have been programming my Apco 25 scanners the hard way and don't mind other than its so time consuming and gets old real fast. I need to see if my programming cable is compatible with windows 7 as it only lists O.S up to Windows XP Ive never done...
I understand that bud, It just floors me how many re-badged radio circulate but... I will admit atleast this one has a unique look to it. Ide like to try the new Anytone 6666 its a smaller radio but I believe it covers 10-12 Meters I kind of like it and I really don't get into 10 meter glorified...
I gotcha bud ;) I believe as far as the Amplifier 35 Amp power supply units I never thought of turning the voltage up a tad and as they claim its a 35 Amp supply which is only good for so much power also never hooked one up to a True Active peak reading meter. Im guessing it would show about 30%...
They are not dumb and just dont know and because they dont know they post accordingly and thats better then not knowing or lying and posting it works and when it doesnt and you get ripped off ;) Kudos to the honest people because with honesty things always work out regardless.
C.K. I seen that I know alot of the Transistors will do more but my whole problem with that is where the power or signal going. You can volt and drive the snot out of the transistors and see more on a meter. I was reading the spec sheet on the SD1446 and they really are great devices but some...
