[/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:
Now I feel like a kid with a new toy that has been told not to play with it!
I'm exited to get some good news about the quality though.
I've been running alittle Magnum 6000 and was looking forward to the upgrade. I'll take this back out of line and set it in the closet until I find a good...
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...
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...
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...
It's all good here! The antenna works great and I haven't put the analyzer on it yet! I have had some great ground wave contacts and the antennas on a six foot test pole. Right now I'm listening to some guys in mobiles twenty miles away and they're hitting me around seven pounds.
I couldn't be...
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...
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...
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...
I have one of these too! This one is black faced with a four position switch, ssb, pre amp switches also.
I pulled the cover off to see what pills where in it, but the pills have a braided ground strap over them so I can't see what they are. It looks like it's well built This pic is terrible...
I appreciate the help. I'll take it to my teck and let him get it all cat daddy for me and put it on the shelf. If it is proven to be a 2950DX I'll find the correct covers and make it right.
I live and learn!
Thanks again!!!!!!
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...
RF Pwr down = 5 watts Dead key
RF Pwr Up = 9 watts Dead key
RF Pwr down = 15 watts swing
RF Pwr Up = 30 watts swing
After putting it on the meter I have determined that this is a 2950 with a 2970 face plate!:crying:
