They work great. QUOTE="lenny, post: 638990, member: 48171"]Best thing about a pine tree is what you said it's free, I like it because it's kind of camouflaged. I think the best advice I could give you about putting an antenna in the tree is have somebody else put it in the tree for you! One...

Every since I smoked a couple of them I put a zener on them.

Somebody posted that earlier in this thread. It's a great idea for one component in the winter time, but it does nothing for the rest of the inside of the radio when it's 22 degrees outside. I knew a guy in the early 80s that put an 1157 Automotive bulb inside his radio with a switch. He said...

I removed the cans from the dx2547 and install them on my dx-959 and got the same results. But this is just part of the problem. I can rectify the heat problem with fans but it's going to require some type of internal heater for the winter months. Most of you all know more than I do. I'm just...

12 volt fans at 13.8+ scream.

The statement of making a kit was just a passing thought and really not a great consideration.

With legs like that, grounding the case probably didn't do much good. Maybe a little bit.

Anyone that owns one of these radios knows that that six-digit is always going up to...

Not bad photos considering I took them with my cell phone.

This is a heater I bought about 4 or 5 years ago. Made by someone in the Ukraine. It only solved part of the problem so I took it out of one of my radios before I sold it. It came with a piece of yellow heat shrink to fasten it to the crystal.

I'm just about finished the shielded isolation cans for the three leaky components.

You are a true warrior.

Gee, it seems I've seen those same waveforms before. Recently. Great post Andy.

We are almost old as dirt, aren't we.

Riverman71 was correct.

You are absolutely correct sir. Betty Ford.

I do believe but I am not positive that it was Lady Bird Johnson. She was the reason that they did away with the license. There was a photo and a big front-page news spread where she showed up at the FCC and her license was issued to her on the spot. People raised such hell because there was a...

I absolutely love that ignore button.

I like lescomm stuff. They've got a great engineer there.
