over the hill....
On this PDX400... it's a 10 tuber/ 4 pushing 6.......tubes test close to 100%.



.....#1....the meter says only 'd&a' on it...what does the meter do and what type of meter is it? It's scaled 2-4-6-8-1?(not a typo)

#2......on the front there's a toggle switch that says 'xtal'...what does that mean and what would that switch do?

#3......on the back there's 2 small posts?.....one is a pot and says 'key'....what does that do?.....and is the other just a cabinet ground lug?



I just want to make sure I don't screw with something that I don't know what it does!!..........we're getting about 400/500 swing with a cobra 25 .....deadkeying 4/ swing about 22 watts into the d&a.......we're gonna change radios for a 99 that swings about 35......should help some....



But, first maybe some of these unknown switches can help fine tune this thing.......what sayest thou?

Really need your help..........thanks.........Ol'Ben

    I will not be there but hopefully by the end of this month I will have my New tower and antennas back in the air including my M2 6M5X. The old tower and all of my antennas came down in October 2023 during a Hurricane.
