That should be obvious.

That should be obvious.

Let's see, it's on the desk and has a thermometer built in.

Must be a plate warmer.

The label in the lower left corner, indicates what it is, as well
Also, it's a signature model, as indicated by the scribble above said label.

Rooster calls them a "reverse preamp".

Ahh garage-built amp? I never found the need for an amp so I don't follow the different amp builders. Nice setup

Nothing wrong with Humble as long as it brings you joy with out headaches !

Actually, it's been nothing but headaches. I have been getting numerous reports of my Radioddity QT 60 sounding crispy on SSB, so I sent it in for warranty repair, and they cannot find any issues with it. I thought I had a bad power supply, so got a new one. Same issue. I'm using a 75A HP power supply, and I get constant reports of the audio sounding crispy on SSB, and almost everyone asks if I'm using an adequate power supply.

Not to mention the other issues I'm having.

Maybe it's coming from your amp ?

It's there without the amp.

I hope someone knowledgeable chimes in to help you. I'm still sorting thru my issues but most of mine is this stinking valley. And not dedicating a life time to the radio hobby doesn't help !

What's the story on that Galaxy DX- 2517 ? Will that talk ?
