Do you see what you guys did? Big Al asked a simple question and you guys went all geeky on him. Yeah, we all know how to do the math and quote the equations, but when it comes down to keying the mic and seeing what Mr. Bird has to say, all he wanted was an opinion on a winning combination of...

I have not opened one, but the microphone on your 980 may be a condenser mic element. The Delta EC-1 clearly states that it will not work with that. Let us know what you find. My Delta box works fantastic on a Cobra 29 LTD Classic using a Turner Plus Three B microphone. Mic gain on the radio at...

Why "unlock" a clarifier? If you spend money to have it done, you could have easily just paid to insure your radio is dead on frequency when transmitting. You then simply use your clarifier to properly hear someone who is not on frequency, while you, the smart one, knows your radio is dead on...

I have measured my Nitro 300a amp with both Bird and Daiwa meters. It has One 6LQ6 driving Four. I get an even 800 watts PEAK with a 500 hz injected tone.

I have a Nitro 300A that uses one 6LQ6 to drive four 6LQ6's. It is showing a maximum 700 Bird Watts PEP into a dummy load. You have to hit the right "Ahhhhhh" note to get it there.

I know this is an old thread, but many of these Kenwood TS-180s rigs are still being bought and sold, both at hamfests and online. Most will come with burned up finals and with today's prices for parts, "Forget about it"! .... I snatched my cooked PA board out and moved the plug in wires from it...

So? When researching the web for certain info, many times a thread will still remain open and just waiting for someone like me to make further comments. You leave the back door open, someone will sneak in....just sayin'!

If your FT-900 is putting out that kind of power on AM mode, then someone has definitely put the golden screwdriver to it.

Bottom Line is that it was built by one of the Three most famous amp builders alive today. That's right, I said Three...every other amp builder is still in school trying to pay attention. Pretty sure you guys know which three I'm talking about, and they all reside in the USA!

I run an out of the box Stryker SR-955HP into a Straight 4 pill amp. Since the amp is considered a "High Drive" and the Stryker's max PEP is 60 watts (measured with 3 different meters), it is barely tickling the amp. I am happy with the 500 watts the amp produces even though it is capable of...

The Uniden 980 will be the downfall of that company. Over 50% display failure rate according to many other forums and the company is not keen on their warranty either. BTW, I spend more time 'un-modding' good Cobra radios as I usually get them with diodes and resistors cut, slugs missing from...

Typical narcissistic ham comment, calling everything you don't own or wish you had, a splatterbox. Ameritron is a splatterbox if not tuned correctly.

Please explain how you 'ground' a dipole? Plus, just fill that mason jar with some corn and if 10 million jigawatts hits it, you will have some potent 'White Lightening'.

I recently acquired a very clean Kenrich Eagle 500 amp. I use a stock Galaxy 94HP to drive it with the RF Power at its lowest setting of 1 watt modulating to 15 watts RMS. I get 110 watts DK from the amp on the hi side, modulating easily to 900+ watts PEP. I use a 600 hz tone when tuning the...

Ummm....How about using it for AM on 10 meters???

I am currently completing restoration of a Tram Titan IV and it also came with the original D-104-G mic. I have to keep the radio mic gain down midway to tame the modulation this beast has out of that one tube final. I get a clean key down, but get the "rush" noise when I un-key as well as an...

WAIT A MINUTE....If you have a Tram Titan IV cabinet, I need the wooden sides! :)

Not to be mean, but...go ahead, butcher up that 1973 classic radio with all the mods. It will be worth nothing down the road when or if you re-sell. I prefer to keep the old rigs stock and running well and use something modern to go up or down the band. I have already spent many hours...
