    11 meter is very quiet?

    Yeah, I'm local to the San Antonio area, lots of locals use 38lsb as just a ragchew channel

    Power supplies and amperage draw AT-6666 -> KL503

    My 6666 does about 24W AM and around 55W SSB according to my cheap meter. edit: at full power

    I was out driving around yesterday and heard Prime come in clear as if he was in the next lane. LOTS of people scrambling to make contacts, I didn't bother. 38LSB was a trainwreck yesterday LOL.

    Quiet here in TX, heard an oil rig out of Mexico briefly this evening but he faded before I could make contact.

    Help with another crusty old unknown amp, VJ Boomer RX-50

    Thanks again Justme, I opened up the other Boomer RX-50. Internals all look the same but the transistors are different. They appear to be of different makes (Sylvania?). What can you tell me about this one vs the one pictured above? Here's the pic:

    Help with another crusty old unknown amp, VJ Boomer RX-50

    Hi, here's another amp I recently bought in a big box of CB stuff. Can't find much information on it, seems to be from the 70's or 80's. It's a V-J Boomer RX-50, according to the faceplate, 2 pill amp. Puts out right at 100W on my cheap power meter. Has a label on the side that says do not...

    Help ID/specs this obscure amp? Palomar TX-300

    Yeah, when I first powered it up, it would chatter when keyed. I went in and cleaned both relays with deoxit and put the cover back on the one. That, and better power connections to a 30a PS seemed to stop the chatter. It seems to put out fairly clean AM compared to my KL203P. My cheapie power...

    Help ID/specs this obscure amp? Palomar TX-300

    Thanks BJ radionut for the info on the internals. There's no documentation that I can find on the web for this box, so every bit helps. There's no SSB switch on the front, or do some of these auto switch internally? I have a couple of other old amps I'm dusting off and trying to get running...

    Help ID/specs this obscure amp? Palomar TX-300

    Hi everyone. I recently got this amp in a lot of radios/etc that I purchased. I can't find any real specs or info on it anywhere online. It appears to be an old (1980s?) 2 pill Palomar TX-300 but there's nothing I can find online about it. It has full heatsink fins on 3 sides, not just the...
