    Galaxy radio drift

    Just about everything has become disposable. CB radios, unlike amateur radios, don't cost an arm and a leg so people are more apt to just say, the heck with it, and buy another one.

    Those are the words I was looking for Andy. You just nailed it for me. Thank you. It deserves being read twice. Maybe even three times.

    No, this point forward I'm done with DJ.

    Galaxy radio drift

    I do not rely on DJ to verify my actions. I will do what I am going to do and if I fail, then I fail. But until I fail you can stick your negativity where your RF meter doesn't work. As I said, I am going to have it produced. Nobody said you had to try it. Nobody said you had to use it and I...

    Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know GoFundMe was a crime. Obviously you have a lot of jealousies and animosities DJ. Don't worry, this time I won't cut into your CB repair Beer Money. And since you want to talk about imperfections, how about that tube amplifier you sold Paul. You know, the one he...

    Galaxy radio drift

    You would be amazed at how on frequency it is just buy putting those in cans and grounding the cans and getting rid of the heat. It is obvious DJ that you don't want this kit to become available. Well, that just motivates me more. Then, when people use it and it actually works your shit will all...

    You're just talking out your ass. You can attack me all you want, but the fact is, the first guy that tries this will saying son of a bitch, it works. So from here on out you enjoy yourself and try to have a good day.

    Galaxy radio drift

    Years ago it seems like some guy had me come out and meet him and turn his stock radio up. But I have never done an alignment in a car.

    Galaxy radio drift

    Well, I've never done on that alignment on any radio in an automobile in my entire life. Enough said. So you got a wild hair up your ass about me. I don't really care. People can doubt me all they want but it's obvious that you can't accept it. All they have to do is follow through with what I...

    Galaxy radio drift

    A fan forcing cool air into a box exits continually keeping the radio cool. You can argue all you want but it doesn't change the results.

    Galaxy radio drift

    Your anger and animosity are well noted. But I have nothing to prove to you. If you want to know if this is accurate, put a DX 2547 on base and talk on it for an hour and find out what happens. Then do these things that I said to do and see what happens, the bench doesn't lie. Now the crystal...

    Galaxy radio drift

    "You realise this are type accepted radios so they already meet emissions standards." You also realize those standards are based upon leakage from the housing, not what's reflecting around the inside. The testers still use a faraday cage to check for spurious emissions being emitted from the...

    Galaxy radio drift

    You may very well have heard me off frequency. I probably turn the clarifier trying to clarify folks in. But when I talk to the locals that are all on frequency, and my frequency counters all indicate when I put it at 12 o'clock I am on frequency and it stays there.

    Galaxy radio drift

    As stated by someone previously, the coils in this section are also very susceptible to heat reaction. So is C-130, C-131 and D-49. Old school knew this. That's why many old radios had areas that were boxed in and filled with wax. It protected them from vibration and heat reaction. The three...

    Galaxy radio drift

    Eliminate the Heat and protect the area from temperature change. Now if you're running a mobile, that's a different story. It would be nice to have a crystal heater in an uncontrolled environment for the winter time that you could turn on and off.

    Galaxy radio drift

    Eliminate the Heat, re-soldered all the oscillator connections on the underside of the board, can or Shield C-130, c-131, and d49. And put a shield on the other side of the board under the oscillator and you have solved your frequency drift.

    Next will be the gnf filter. I understand the theory of the crystal heater. However, the drift is mostly caused by heat. The only additional instability are the three parts. If you doubt my troubleshooting abilities, put an RF sniffer down there see what you get. In fact, you don't even need a...

    Galaxy radio drift

    Patient is being fitted for a barrier but it's not necessary to use metal and to risky. So this idea is scrapped. Just need, and much safer, plastic containment barrier. The three chamber metal can will stop spurious emissions. No need for a metal barrier. Just need to contain hot glue or wax...
