    The Hammer Dropped on Sherman

    Don't know if this is allowed, folks, but I thought since he's been such a thorn and a crook, that maybe I could save someone a headache. Here is a judgement against Sherman by the New Mexico Attorney General!!

    Daiwa 901 meter issue

    Howdy folks! Just another extremely strange anomaly from me and my equipment. My setup is like this. Stryker 955 to DX-500, to meter to antenna. All is seemingly good. BUT, I just noticed that when I disconnect the coax from the radio, my meter light goes out. Yes, I have a 12v source (same...

    Anyone here REALLY know Texas Stars?

    I think I pushed her just a bit too hard. Not sure, but she let out the magic smoke. Took out a couple of resistors and what I think may be chokes. (I'm not a tech) Anyhow, I need this repaired in a timely manner if someone can do it. Pics are below.

    Small heat sinks on pills

    Anyone ever try using small heat sinks with adhesive pads on top of 2879s? Was thinking of trying this on my DX-500. The adhesive pads would hold them on and a slow turning internal fan with exhaust holes in the lid should move enough air with virtually no noise.

    Canadian Smoke

    Anyone else suffering the effects of the Canadian fires? Up here, in Escanaba, we've had thick haze and gray days for nearly a month. Our light levels during the day are similar to a solar eclipse. If we get a south wind, it sometimes help clean up the air, but otherwise, we're under a steady...

    Can't believe the dummy load prices!!

    OMG! I was just net surfing radio stuff and ran across and wet 1kw dummy load selling for $128.00. I laughed out loud, thinking this was one of those Ebay-type sales. So, I poked around looking at others and could not believe what I was seeing! Cheapest I found was about $85.00 and they went up...

    Stryker Warranty Thread

    Well, as I posted earlier, my 955 V2 had to go back in for warranty because of power loss. I must say that so far, I am extremely impressed with the service. The radio showed up in Florida at Wakulla Electronics, and about an hour later Gregg called me to speak to me about it. We had a great...

    Stryker 955 V2 Woes

    Well, my hot 955 v2 is going in for surgery. Was talking as usual and working fine until it wasn't. Power dropped out, very low. About 35 pep full bore and about 10 W AM carrier. I know it wasn't my fault, as even tho it has the huge finals, I never run the AM more than a 10W carrier and never...

    Need DX-500 top cover

    Paint condition is unimportant but must be straight with no dents or dimples. Let me know what you have, if you have something for sale.

    Okay, I give Up!

    Does anyone know where to buy 4 or 6 conductor microphone cable by the foot? I've searched for days on the interwebs, can not find what I need. I can find cable, but all the wires are shielded with one shield instead of just the audio wire. I'd like to get about 10 feet or so. Maybe it's okay to...

    CB3PP-FP power plug

    Does anyone know of a good online supplier who has these?? I can only find them on Ebay and Kens Electronics. I don't have an Ebay account after they screwed me, and I can't seem to get a response from Kens. This is a standard piece that everyone uses, yet, nobody sells!! I want to make a couple...

    Stryker 955 mic settings

    A question has been bobbing around in my head ever since I received my V2. As most know, there is a setting in the menu so that you can choose between Dynamic and Electret mics. My question is; Does anyone know what changes are made in the radio between the two settings?

    NOT Happy with Yaesu at this time!

    As most here know, I sent my M-1 in for repair quite some time ago, and it came back working, but with something else broken. So, I send it back in because there are no stops on the gain control. Obviously, something THEY broke while installing a new board. I get a call today informing me of the...
