I've had mine since 2001. Love it. I have the Inrad 2.1Khz crystal filter in the RX side, a Collins mechanical 2.5 on the TX, the MD100 desk mic, and a TiniCat-847 interface. This rig has done everything I've wanted out of it. You have to do the open TX mod to get 60 meters. I wish Yaesu...

My favorite Scottish band, the Battlefield Band from Glasgow: YouTube - Battlefield Band Reels The guy that plays the bagpipes is Mike Katz, and he is one of the BEST pipers in the world.

I use it for my VHF/UHF antennas. For CB I use Davis-RF "Economy 213" RG-213, and for the lower bands, a short run of RG-8x (20, 40, 80).

Nice.:w00t:

I think I would put up an Imax rather than butcher your 5/8 homebrew., That would be a shame, especially if you couldn't get it to work. The Imax might be a little step down from the homebrew, but I think it will do quite a bit better than the 1/2 wave hack that you're thinking about doing.

Yeah, but that's what the RIT is for! :D

With the VFO on that radio that tunes to 100 Hz resolution, why would you need to open the clarifier?

Another member here built a Windom and had RF in the shack. A homebrew 1:1 "ugly" balun fixed it.

I wouldn't dump more than 25-30 watts pep into a 2x2879 amp.

Congrats on the upgrade!:w00t:

Let's see if we can't get a little digi today if 10 opens a little. 28.120. See you on the Waterfall!

Antennas generally are not the cause of TVI. I certainly have never heard of the Top One having any such issue. I had one here for a year or two, no issues with it. TVI is usually something wrong with your SIGNAL, not the radiator.

So just how scarce/expensive is the MRF 455 at this point? (My Lincoln is from 2001, with the 455 final).

That's exactly how I use the Mic Hi/Low feature---on "High" for barefoot or AM with an amplifier, or on "Low" for when I'm running an amp in SSB mode--it cuts my output from 22 watts down to about 15 watts, which is perfect for my little RM 2 x 455 amp! (KL-351p)

Good advice here so far. Just be yourself and don't try to use a lot of "lingo" and stuff. Just say what you mean in plain language. Some of the mannerisms and terminology you will just pick up as you get to talking to other people. Talk about your station, what you want out of it and the...

I think the 2510/Lincoln has a much better receiver than the RCI 29xx series radios. Both are sensitive as hell, but the Lincoln/2510 has a much better signal to noise ratio. I think the TX on the Lincoln / 2510 is second to none in it's class in SSB and FM modes. The 29xx can sound really...

I'm having a bother trying to find them for sale new in the states. It seems like someone has maybe made off with my Wilson 1000. If I have to replace it, I'd rather go with the Z180 if I can find one for a reasonable price. Otherwise, I'll just get another W1000....

I'm monitoring 28.120 also PSK31 mode

Who has these antennas for the best price/reasonable shipping?
