Well since I've only seen your Class C biased amps, except 1 maybe, I can only speak in a historical sense. Besides, even if properly biased amps catch on, the same will apply.... You will have your copy-cat assemblers 80+%, then you will have a few with the knowledge and skill that the rest...

Not sure yet on the donor radio, I do have a couple of candidates though. If I manage to do it without tossing the Dak remnants in the trash can I'll post up on it :whistle: Oh I have some quite grand ideas, I'm not certain if they'll ever be more then ideas though.... Been spending alot...

In all honesty, I would dump that sucker while its still working, there are a few that still think they aren't bad, and Feebay seems to pull a good buck for them. It has been a long time since I played with a Dak IX, but from what I recall it uses an entirely different modulation scheme from...

Only thing I see that separates one from the other is the skill/time put into putting the parts on the board. So obviously builders such as Zman, or AMpower FAIL, where some of the others, Joker, or maybe linearone's boxes which we know they put a little pride into workmanship.. LOL, did I...

I'm only being a little sarcastic, the radio is not a great performer, Basic alignment and tune, wouldn't bother with the power mods etc, the gains really aren't worthwhile.. Here is some shots of my Dak X project.... Top shot is when I got it, Bottom is after I've readied the chassis for the...

Strip out the Dak Guts and put a real radio in it :thumbup1:

Yep, you should be proud of lying, and posting under multiple names. :thumbup1:

these are great, really appreciate your effort! :thumbup:

Hence the not cheap part....

Really not much to it, figure out how may contacts you need to switch everything, buy a suitable relay, build it into an enclosure, and call it a day. When I find a deal on a Dowkey, or similar TR switch, I toss it up on Ebay, get a ridiculous amount of money for it, buy and wire a relay...

Mol, I completely agree, The Internet has spawned a whole new breed of "Tech" they do NPC mods, "peek" :biggrin: radios, they "Clip" limiters, Build amplifiers, talk on amateur radio. They do all of this with very little knowledge, if any. I won't even bother with proper equipment part of it...

just curious, at what point do you consider your amc "disconnected"? 131%, 150%, 200%? Or do you consider it not dependent of the point of limitation? I've always considered the AMC defeated anytime you go over 10%, or 110% total. I believe the US FCC defines that point @0%, or 100%.

Seems to me you may be referencing my post with your emphasis.... To address your point, Yes you are correct, in the CB sense of the mod. My reference is more toward NPC, and Asymetrical modulation/processing as a package deal. Doing the NPC, or NPC-RC mod is not rocket science, it is...

So did you get your package? :lol:

Browning and Trams are not the greatest on SSB, AM They have a sound to them, smooth rich receive, and AM transmit. Both radios sound decent on SSB, but they just aren't convenient, though the Tram isn't bad. If you pick one up you may just find it hard to stop at one. Is definitely...

So what you want me to candy coat my posts? the radio can benefit greatly from modification, whether someone chooses to do so is up to him/her A generic post using the stereotype that all limiters are spawn from hell IMO is not useful at all. It reminds me of a poodle nipping at the heels...

Another consideration, while not currently an issue, in the future if this sunspot cycle ever gets in gear, 10, and 11 meters is something I would certainly not want to rely on. Once we get closer to the peak 10 is most likely going to get rough for local comm.

So if the wife is licensed to use 10 meters, and your looking for reliable communications, why not consider 2 meters? Unless in the unlikely instance you don't have repeater access. If the wife is not licensed, or for whatever reason 2 meters is not feasible definitely improve the base...

LOL, It has nothing to do with trashing anyone, I spoke my belief based upon knowledge, seems to me your as guilty as anyone of exactly what your accusing me of. I at least did comment on the OP. Oh and where the hell did you read "I LIKE CLIPPING LIMITERS"? or even that I endorse such a...
