There's a RCA jack on the back of the radio that says RELAY, and another jack that says ALC. Use a RCA cable to connect those two jacks to the corresponding jacks on the AL-811.

Point taken. Would a Galaxy 959/979 with the variable power turned down work okay with a 667, or still too much?

I inherited a 667V from a friend who passed away. Used to have a 500V and it worked great with a 2950DX I also wish I didn't sell. Most of the radios I have are way too much for the 667 (Magnum 257, Magnum S45HP, 2970DX), but would be about right with a straight 4 pill. I have a Grant XL that...

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of updates, been busy having just changed jobs. We did a little experimenting in a park the other day. We took the antenna off his puck, and tried different placements of a Wilson 5000 magmount on the roof. First, a little about the van roof. It looks like...

I ran a 500V with a 2950DX several years ago. Even with the SSB delay engaged, you can still make 500W. Which is the most you'll want to get out of it, by the way. With that radio though, look into something like an AL-811 amp. That was what I ran after the 2950/500V, with a Icom IC718. It's...

Check your PMs :)

Thanks for the reply! As far as I can tell, the whole roof is steel. We've tried different jumper lengths on the MFJ with similar results. Thanks for replying, always appreciate your posts. Interesting about the modeling of larger roofs. I look forward to the models that may help explain...

Helping a friend with his mobile. Vehicle is a Ram Promaster van, big roof, mount looks well installed. He has some sort of competition-style open coil antenna on a roof mounted puck. No matter how we adjust the stinger, we can't get SWR on various meters or my MFJ-259B below 1.8-1.9 on 1 and...

Hey there WWDX. I have a 2970N2 that I got from the family of a friend who went SK several years ago. Its been sitting in storage for a bit, so I figure I would check it out on the bench before I put it back into service. Everything looks good, except the fan's behavior is a bit puzzling...

eBay has some cheap GPSDO kits that output a 10MHz reference. Then that inexpensive used counter will at least have a solid reference.

Got an email back from Ontario, they seem responsive and respectful, based on their response to a couple questions I asked. I'll box up the radio and get it out this week. Thanks for the leads guys!

Thanks man, I'll shoot them an email and see what they say. You in Hawaii? I'm over here in Waianae.

Have a Magnum 257HP in nice condition, was owned by a good friend who passed away a few years ago. Radio has an intermittent problem where power output will drop to 0. I noticed that when I loosen one of the screws on the bottom cover, it doesn't seem to act up. With the bottom cover off, if...

Don't forget, radio has to meet certain frequency stability requirements for use on MARS.

The SR9 has been out for quite a while now, looks basically like a SR8 with the "SDR" capabilities of the R8, as mentioned. From what I've read, the SDR capabilities are rather rudimentary, interesting to play with, but not really much to write home about. Only really gives you a waterfall on...

Yeah, just tie the two leads going to the potentiometer together as mentioned. Really not a problem if you leave it set wide open though. 75W out of that guy is what I would expect out of it to have a "reasonably" clean signal.

No worries! I love my V71A and love sharing it's virtues with others! :) You might already know this one, but when I'm listening to something real critical coming in, or for whatever reason I don't want to deal with two transmissions coming in at once, press once (only needed if not already...

Press F(unction) then Low, it'll enable "Mute", which turns down the volume on the non-PTT selected channel when there is a transmission coming in on both side. Your PTT selected channel takes priority over the non-PTT one.
