I'm guessing it's the power supply rather than the klystron as the powers-that-be are pretty strict about leakage from the cooking chamber. There are cheap ($8.99) testers out there to measure that;
I remembered that I had a tiny handheld counter & ran that around our microwave as it heated a cup of water. It picked up a very weak signal at about 1.2gHz within 18" or so & that's it. A far more s
Mike, It depends on the model and the quality of the installation. You might offer to supplement his cost a little (for one that you know is properly designed) and assist with installation (to assure

Got tied up with pounding some fence posts after the rain stopped - then some family stuff - a bit of a breeze and no more rain, so all quiet now. Next time I'll chase it right away. Thanks - David -
Does the ARRL perform aging-simulation tests? Many of us have experienced heat-fatigue and/or vibration fatigue failures in poorly-soldered connections - especially since the era/error of lead-free s
OK, I didn't know if there was a simple & cheap way to run a stress test. I once communicated with a Ham years ago who's company moto was "You make it. we break it" - their business was stress testin

The folks at the power cooperative here have been very helpful but generally lacked knowledge - though someone in the past had acquired a specialized device - the battery was dead and also unobtanium
You missed the qualifier: IF they first remove the partisan politics and crony capitalist bias & function as proper servants of the people - then talk about money - otherwise it's like feeding wild b
I'm not saying we should not expect government agencies to do the jobs we pay them to do - but where there's a history of wrong priorities (and sometimes worse) the wrong answer is more funding. We t

I respectfully request that you follow the money to understand why this group has access to the FCC. It's mostly partisan but not entirely. Contact your Congressmen - House & Senate, and let them kno

Charlie, It's not always visible but failed lightning arrestors are a frequent source of trouble. Have you tried looking at the pole using a telescopic camera lens? If you can spot a deteriorating ar
Tim, Can't he break-up the wires using various techniques? Or add some filters. Or both? I don't like wireless for indoor cameras, for obvious reasons, but otherwise it sure is easier to install wire
