    FT-857 question

    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...

    Thoughts on these tuners

    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...

    Dead Galaxy DX2517

    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...

    It's getting closer to quiting time for Radio Shack.

    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...

    Yaesu FT450D vs. Alinco SR8

    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...

    Programming my Uniden BCT15X

    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...

    New Radio From Top Gun Technologies

    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...

    4 X 1446 = 750/800 WATTS

    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%...

    4 X 1446 = 750/800 WATTS

    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...
