I am another one that throws out a call on 16 when out in the shack.

Very quiet here in Western Wa. Gave a couple shout outs 10 minutes ago, just crickets here.

Ok then.

I was considering adding a ALS-500 to the shack until I started reading some of those performance reviews. Also, I’ve heard they require a 50 amp continuous power supply to run Right? Didn’t make too much sense for a 4 transistor amp.

Just crickets here in Western Wa.

Hey Greg T, you sounded very loud and very clear coming into the Seattle area! I was working on my Jeep, in my garage, and heard your very strong signal and jump up to respond. Very nice talking to you!

Talked to 945 in upper Michigan @ 4:20 pm this afternoon From Seattle. My first 16 LSB contact! Forgot to post my call number 253.

Thanks for the reply’s.

I think too, these people are selling for a silent key estate and there not popping covers to check.

Hello, I am looking at a 2009 year Ameritron Al-500M amplifier for purchase, and wondering if they installed the Toshiba transistors in these years? thanks Greg

I hear you Greg T, I just happen to be moving my radio setup to a different wall, 15 feet from current location. This location is where my detached garages underground electrical panel is mounted to the building. Very good timing for this thread to come up! Very interesting info.

I ordered one up from Bells. I hear folks using them on the air and they sound really good. I think just a slight bit of echo sounds good.

Looking good!

Good video! Now I’m going to check this every time I add some coax. I purchased my first analyzer a couple months ago, AA-35 Zoom. Got tired of using the cheap SWR/power meters that always give different readings from one unit to the next. The analyzer shows a pretty good swr match on my 11...

Actually, I have a large 2 story apartment behind my house and 2 story houses on both sides of me, I am only a Rambler. I have a antenna currently that is 27’ up to the feed point in the rear corner of my lot with some large trees as a backdrop. My setup gets out pretty good. I don’t think a...

I’ve heard these are pretty popular in HOA neighborhoods. Are these antennas any good on HF bands? Would they be worth choosing over an Omni or a beam? Any good talking the skip?

Awesome, thanks for the reply’s! Very appreciated.

Putting a 2000 ranger extended cab back together after a collision, and looking at adding a radio to this rig. Planning my antenna instal and thinking about a center of the cab, fold down style mount. Sounds like a good answer for low hanging parking garages, car washes and trees. Anybody have...

Same here, last 3 days or so in Western wa.

Everyone has said mine sounds really good also. I just need the time to really get to know the radio and all of it’s features. This is my first real ham radio besides 10 meter mobiles. So I don’t have anything to compare too.
