Hello, I recently purchased a ncl-2000 as my first amp. The meter backlight bulbs were dimly glowing just brightly enough to see the filaments. I checked the bulbs and they were not the type shown in
My experiment goal was to see if I could get my NCL-2000 amp to load on 30 and 17 meters without changing the existing bandswitch and tank circuit wiring. I figured that the 40m and 20m bandswitch se
I'm looking for anyone familiar with the NYE MB-V-A tuner. I bought one today and it has a problem. The seller will refund if I can't find a fix, but I'd really like to keep this tuner if possible. T
To all concerned regarding the queries I made about the subject tuner. I recently purchased one and returned it because I thought it had a problem with the PC board that controls the automatic hi and
I operate SSB with my NCL-2000 only to chase 'new ones'. While doing this on 17m I noticed that the top lid above the tubes was awfully hot. The high temperature persisted in SSB mode even if I wasn'
Hello, I presented my problem to a PCB forum and received no responses for two days - so maybe it's another stupid question. I wanted to to try here too, because there are so many builders on this fo
I wonder if the software radios are comparable to the K-3? If so, isn't SDR the least likely to become obsolete. Has anyone discussed the performance differences between the two radios? Also, how muc
Jim, That's the first I've heard of latency problems. This is why I was hoping to get some discussion going, because K3 and SDR owners are invariably sold on their eqpt but haven't compared the two.
Thanks Phil, K3 + LP-Pan+SDR sounds like a $5000+ transceiver. It's hard to tell how much of each is actually being used. From my perspective, I'm trying to decide which approx $2500 solution will ha
Bill, I browsed the WinKey site and it didn't pop right out as to how/why WinKey solves SDR latency. Could you expand on that just a little? tx frank w0ecs ___________________________________________
Jim, That's the third time I've heard "don't expect good CW operation out of the box" (on air comments). So, it sounds like a K3 would be a lot less trouble - maybe SDR needs S/W 'geeks' to fully uti
Paul, If "more of the DSP processing function needs to be jettisoned from PC software" where would that functionality be moved to - and at what expense? frank w0ecs __________________________________
Thanks Bill, That explains how they eliminate latency on the character formation. It sounds like the between-character latency would remain, but I guess the longer timing is less affected by latency.
Gary, Is anyone evaluating the test to account for the capacitance? I'm sure I'm not the only one fascinated by this skin effect 'proof test' It's beginning to sound like one of those relativity para
I also have a NCL-2000 and I'm curious about the 'matching' issue. Are there modifications / methods to allow use of unmatched tubes? thanks and 73 frank w0ecs _______________________________________

Hello I haven't used my SB-200 and QSK Master for so long I've (apparently) forgotten how to hook everything up. Now that we have moved from an apartment to a house, I would like to start using the a
