You can change out R-157 to a 470uh choke.

In the end I will offer a kit with the components epoxyed in a three chamber shielded unit with a shield plate for the bottom side of the board. I could even use a varactor with enough capacitance to go 5kc's. I like to shoot DX at Europe and quite often they will split a channel because in...

And I would love to hear some of your new ideas.

Thanks Andy. That means way more than you realize. Never let them discourage your quest. Many like to act as a purist, but if man had never thought outside of the box, I'd still be rubbing two sticks together to light my Camel. I was blessed with Superior analytical skills. Got them from my...

Thanks for the site. I've been checking it out and it's really cool. Lots of information. Thanks very much.

If I was to sell a kit it would come with a chunk of paraffin. But, hot glue has excellent thermal properties and a melting point of about 225 degrees.

I got the brass strips from Lowes.

I took three Crystal cans and filed the lips off, which consequently also made them shorter. I do not have the third casing lined up and soldered in position yet. I also have to cut a couple of grooves.

Salvaged these from a rci2950.

I need to take the face off so that I can tighten the nut on the RF power knob post. I remove all the knobs and two screws on the left and two screws on the right. What else do I need to remove to remove the face? I know someone on here has the experience and the expertise to have removed one...

I need to remove the lip on one and shorten it. There are some places that Have to be filed out so as not to short other components. Line the inside base edges and bottom outside of them with liquid tape. Ground. The small one contains D49. The large can contains C-130 and C-131. They will be...

I also need to re-tin components on the clarifier on/off button board. I need to take the face off so that I can tighten the nut on the RF power knob post. I remove all the knobs and two screws on the left and two screws on the right. What else do I need to remove to access under the plastic...

Anyone operating a Galaxy DX 2547 will see the frequency counter change sometimes. This is not necessarily a result of the frequency of the radio changing. The frequency counter and its board and the processor are sensitive to heat.
