    M4V power supply?

    [/ATTACH][/ATTACH] This is some poor pics of the Magnum 4000. The outside looks like it had been through a war but the inside looks real clean..It works very well. My Penetrator 500 is at 36' and about 30' from my neighbor's house with no issues. :wink:

    M4V power supply?

    I picked up this mobile amp today, Messenger M4V, and hooked it up to my G.E. 60amp home brew power supply and the voltage drops to 9-10 volts on dead key, from 15.0 volts. The home brew is junk. I'm wondering if this power supply will run it? High Power 12 Volt...

    penetrator 500 cap. hat help

    Unless you are just wanting to make your gammas for the sake of doing it, I ordered everything from Hy-Gain to rebuild my P.500 and it cost me under 20,00. That was both gamma wires, both insulated pieces that hold the wires, bottom and top insulators. It took a little fabricating skill to get...

    MOONRAKER HUBS

    I just had a meeting with a machinist today. He has drop off material that will be perfect. He also has a lot of nylatron drop off for the insulated hubs. He's going to build several nylatron and aluminum hubs for the cost of the drop off. We are going with a solid block design as apposed too...

    BBT Delivered Hy-Gain Penetrator 500 Today

    Let me throw you a curve. The new gamma system is diffrent then the older Penetrators. I ordered new parts from hygain and the gamma wire is much longer then the one I took off. It also attaches to the vertical opposite of the way it use too. I had to drill my bottom element to make the new...

    Can someone I.D. this amp?

    Great news so far, thanks!!!! I'm guessing with it being named a 4000, maybe it's rated for 400 watts? It seems to work well but I don't have a big enough power supply to run on stage three, four or sideband. I'm wanting to run it on my base and if I learn that it's a keeper I'll invest in a...

    Can someone I.D. this amp?

    I have this amp that says Magnum 4000 on the front and 40 amp max stamped on the back by the power wires! It has four pills but they are covered up with a braided ground strap and I can't read them. I'm hoping someone has had one of these and can enlighten me on who made it and or how big or...

    RCI 2970 DX No heat sink on the bottom?

    I'm not feeling too bad about the deal. I gave 125.00 for the radio and it does work well. It's just not what I was wanting. I still don't know about the heat sink though. I don't remember seeing one like that on a Ranger. Plus if someone set this up to deceive with the face plate they gave...

    RCI 2970 DX No heat sink on the bottom?

    It sure looks like the finals have been changed! It has one C2166 and two C2312's back there and it sure doesn't look factory.
