    Woman protests strip search, gets arrested

    Whew! Thanks for that m2duster...dont know what this world is coming to but it sure seems like hell. Now, if you hadn't posted that it probably would have just flew under my radar, as it probably has with alot more folks. It a crying shame ..btw,where is this Clark county?{Cry_river}

    cobra 29 no receive

    Robb, good point, however, in keeping it kiss, and being practical..its most likely that the problem evolves from an area that involves a lot of movements or changes by the operator of the radio. And yes, the area you pointed out falls within such realm of practical simplicity, providing that...

    cobra 29 no receive

    Little or no receive First things first, look at the simple and more practical side of thing s before you jump to the more complex...more than likely your problem is either at the microphone end by the socket, or at the antenna connnection, either by the coax connector where it connects to the...

    Filament Choke

    Thanks for the quick response, and the information. Ok, the part that i am trying to get an handle on is the permability and size of core to use, bearing in mind that i have limited real estate under chassis - 4 inches in depth. Also, i realize that the choke needs to be shielded from strays, so...

    Filament Choke

    No response to the dilemma Ok, it's been quite some time since i requested some feedback with reference to the dilemma i have been having, and i have decided to construct my own filament choke. I am now invoking the knowledge from big boys lurking in the wings..come on now. Again, this is for a...

    Filament Choke

    Hello Fellas, My project calls for a filament choke capable of handling 75 amps of cathode current at the lower spectrum of 27 MHz for a mono bander. I have seen a broad band choke that has the capability that i am looking for, however, the physical dimensions makes it problematic, in that, i...

    EBAY

    Yep! I heard about it, and as matter of fact, I heard it directly from Google too, they are also moving in the same direction. The problem I see with trying tax Internet trades or sales, is that, how times should one have the pay taxes on the same item? Apparently there is no sesitivity or...

    Seen some L/C meters on eBay coming from China that seems compable to AADE with a little greater test range..tempting to try based on price.

    Rework of 3cx3000 input and output circuit

    Crusher, it has 2 meters on the rf deck, one for plate current and the other is filament voltage. Yes, I may put grid meter on it, good to monitor all aspects of operation. Also, I do anticipate a great deal of fun reworking the rig. I will try to get LC meter soon, will keep you posted. 73

    Rework of 3cx3000 input and output circuit

    You are absolute right...the blower is pretty strong and it appears that some of the airflow flows up and mostly around the tube...I will have to modify the chimney, seems like I'm gonna have to devise a way to seal up the approximate 1/8 of an inch space around tube to allow direct airflow...

    :pop::pop: Good Morning Fellas, got in lastnight and saw your responses but was too pooped out to even respond, so I decided to wait til this morning when I'm 100%. I thank each and everyone of you for the out pour of support that you have provided to me, and will forever be grateful. I am...

    Rework of 3cx3000 input and output circuit

    Dxhound, I do have mfj259B handy and dual scope the runs up to 50mhz as well, and will attempt to get a close approximation of tuning for resonance with the carbon resistor substitution from plate to chassis after I get around to wrapping new coil, but truthfully, I have never done the procedure...

    Rework of 3cx3000 input and output circuit

    DXHound, Thanks for your input as well, and for the most part you make a lot of sense with your point of view. However, what brought me to the decision to at least gut the tank coil, is that, I don't believe it would be able to withstand full steam from the 3cx3000, and although I am able to...
