hi all
ive got an old courier centurion here that i recently upgraded with an old PAL VFO so it goes above 23 and id love to have a counter for it.....
i know i can get a "in-line" AM transmit only one to put on it but i would REALLY like one hat reads both recieve and transmit on all...
well now that i finally got my desk somewhat organized and all the 11M rigs situated i thought i'd take a pics of the 11M side of the station
top row is my pair of raiders that i rescued from a "scrap" pile and breathed some new life into along with my cam 88 that spitfire 441 had restored and...
thats got a transformer in it....
see the square black thing in the corner of the chassis??
THATS the transformer....
are you by chance the guy in oley pa that has an identical amp on ebay?
i'm nt sure if it is a polarized plug or not
the 450VDC caps are probably for the power supply and will need to be replaced along with the one on pin 9
if it was mine i would replace every cap in the box with new ones and at least test all the resistors although i would probably replace them...
as promised pics of the green
pics came out kind of crappy.... with the flash it was too bright and without was too dark and i havent really figured out how to operate this camera yet
everything came out nice and bright with the exception of the lights behind the clock....
IF i keep the...
ok after playing around with a bunch of resistors i had got from radio shack and some more out of my "parts" bin i just couldnt find the level of "brightness" i was looking for so i ended up tying the ground and the 15.2V sources from the original 2 lights together in parallel and ran 6LEDs in...
thanx 74 ......
i already have a calc for the resistors and plan to pic them up at radio shack on the way home.....
now if i could just find a clock motor for that radio.....
the "kit" comes with the display and one LED
i needed the display and 4 LEDs for AM/LSB/USB/CHAN9 on the madison PLUS i wanted to put green lights on the meters
the channel display is in and looking nice i just need to wire the LEDs for the meters and it is done but alas i leave for work...
ok so it shouldnt make a difference in spots where a LED already was such as on the channel display and and the lights for AM/LLSB etc.....
i know i will need resistors where i replace the 12V bulbs behind the meters to make them light up green as well but i DO have a calculator for that so i'm...
i see what you mean
i had thought that maybe green LEDs would want a different voltage than the red ones .....
changing the resistors to a different value would give a different voltage correct?
my madison has a dead segment in the display LED so i plan to replace it with a green one to match the clock
will i need to change the resistors on the board to be combatible with a green display since it currently has a red one in it/?
i know the regular green 5MM LED lights want 2.2V but...
i agree on the kenwood audio as well.........
pick up a ts-930 or 940 and use the leftover cash for a 2M if youre thinking of getting your ticket......
i love my TM-271A
