N2BC: Not sure I understand why QSK would be an issue -- if your amp is in Standby, you should be able to run exciter through it, correct? You do have a point -- one needs to make sure IF series amps
N2BC: I understand now. I use an SB220, no QSK, so that didn't enter the thought process. So, IF one were to series QSK capable amps, it would require rework of the amps and some interconnection with
I am not sure of the metallurgical issues, but a year ago I uncovered half a spool of New York Solder Company rosin core solder (60/40) I had purchased over 40 years ago and tried to use it. The sold
There is still Barry Electronics. Once one of the largest ham stores, it is now just a shadow of its former self. http://www.barryelectronicsnyc.com/ Located at 224 W 35th St, Room 408. I work down b
Forgot about Leeds. Not much -if any- ham equipment, but lots of vintage parts and some test equipment. Its recommended that you call first. There are also some electronic surplus stores on west end
Bill: Yes -- Familar with the 8072. It was used in a lot of land mobile radios, conduction cooled. They would run at 100 Watts out. Plate dissipation was only 100 Watts in the conduction cooled mode.
An example of a "desired communication" (not me, of course!) would be the desire to show off one's station and be the loudest on the net. --Mike, WV2ZOW ______________________________________________
Roger: While many of the technical points are valid, using Consumer Price Index (CPI) to compare "rig" prices is not realistic. Electronics, particularly consumer electronics is the outlier -- it doe
John: Some info. I have an RCA Super Controlfone 450 MHz repeater using an 8122 tube, (same tube as the NCL2000 linear). It has a fancy regulator that reduces the 13.5 V heater voltage on transmit. I
Steve: The 6A10 is an excellent choice. I have been ordering components from Banggood and have yet to have a problem. I just received the following diodes, and have not put them in service yet. 2 A,
Jim: Motorola did something like you describe in their "MOTRAC" series base stations (beige cabinets) in the 1960s and 70s. These were 250-350 watt output stations using a pair of 8560s as finals. Th
Yes, Jim. The Motorolas were all VHF/UHF. They did make them to work as low as 25 MHz, which was just barely HF. I never liked fixing those supplies. Lightning was always taking out some of the semic
Nice amp, probably out of my price range Packaging looks like something I've seen before, but can't place it. Specs show 1500 w out ICAS which implies some off time is required for those full power m
Jim and Bill: I see wind was mentioned. When we say North Wind, that means the wind is coming from the North, but my weather vane points to the south. The wind called the north wind blows to the sout

Meaningful ragchew??? Had to chuckle -- don't hear many of those. I do understand Cathy's point. With geostationary and high elliptical sats, propagation is removed from the QSO, which may allow folk
I have to agree about the p-touch. Clear, durable labels that adhere well and don't smear. Price for printer is decent and aftermarket cartridges are available. --Mike, WV2ZOW _______________________
