loosecannon,
I seriously doubt if he does that with 2000 watts - LOL. At least, not more than once

I don't know about bighammer but I can't for the life of me get my MFJ-269 to put out 2000 watts.

QRN,
The 'mod' for that is listed on that '.de' site in the secret section. There are disadvantages! The analyzer is no longer portable.

You mean I can't run it on the AA batteries any more? :? What if I use the Lithium ion type?

 

[W5LZ]

Lithium ion types? You mean the 'polaroid' batteries? (first place I know of them being used) Bunch'a them things to carry around. Only precaution I would advise is don't puncture the casing and get them wet! You really, really won't like what happens - lol.

You're right. Far too cumbersome and dangerous. Maybe I should go with Di-lithium crystals instead. They always worked for Scottie.
