    Icom 718- ALC modification for AM possible?

    I was wondering if anyone could tell me of a ALC modification for allowing the Icom 718 to swing forward with modulation rather than the ALC circuit clipping the power before decent modulation is achieved? I have pulled out the service manual but before clipping/removing any part I thought I...

    Yaesu 2100B- What a nice little Amp!

    Just picked up a MINT Yaesu FT 2100b and man what a little beauty.... Sure blows those sweep tube amps I'd been running right out of the water... I run exclusively AM with this particular Amp since I have had it... Those 572 B's really do a fine job... Much more reliable thus far than the KLV...

    Yaesu FT-101F Conversion too 11 Meters.. Any ideas?

    Within the next 5 days I may have a potential new toy on the way and was wondering if anyone knew the conversion for 11 meters.. Whether it was just a crystal insert OR if there was something else that more directly needed to be done. Thanks much.

    Take care in Re-Tubing your Linear... KLV 1000 Re-Visited! ;

    Hi All, Well after the growing pains the KLV 1000 has been very, very good to me... Alot was learned and if I had to re do it again knowing what I know now, I most certainly would re-order the KLV 1000 with some good tubes. I replaced the weak Yugoslavian EL-519 Tubes... These tubes are...
