Well... shoot... I know... I am only using HALF its capabilities ! But I am still a rookie learning the ropes. Give me just a little more time... and I will comply ! But... I wonder about that analog

I got lucky.... My local Elmer recently helped me design and build a home brew gadget circuit for the shack ... and from what I learned from that experience, I was able to determine the best answer f
I have enjoyed following this thread, and, while I don't understand all that went on here... I am super impressed with the cooperation, sense of duty, and assistance everyone exhibited throughout. --
Please excuse me if I missed it... but I don't recall anyone explaining to the unwashed... What can one do to avoid getting a lemon or broken or poorly calibrated, or whatever broken, oscilloscope at
What if you guys made them out of a thin piece of hard wood? Stereo gear from the 70s used to have a black face and a nice side of hardwood (or something that looked like it.) Any traction? -- K8JHR
ER... um... I think you miss the point on this one... I believe the objection applies to my Omni VII as well : the AF Gain and RF Gain controls SHARE A SINGLE KNOB. I press the knob and it becomes th
I could easily live with a dual - co-axial knob like the Eagle has. -- JHR -- Paul, the Eagle does not "push". It really is a dual concentric pot. The Omni VII is the one where you push to toggle bac
A Mark V is ...? Thanks. == JHR == Our solution was to set up the antennas side-to-side about 200' apart and use a Mark V at the other station. ____________________________________________
I had the conundrum a couple of years ago. I went to Dayton to talk to both Palstar and TT and also any hams hanging around. I got a mixed bag of opinions, some hams hanging around the TT display who
I like it fine ! It connects to my Omni VII serial port, and tracks band and frequency changes, and automatically tunes as I move about. I will email you off list with additional scuttlebutt on its h
http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec Had a tech at ARRL tell me once that rf grounding inside the shack was not always important he pointed out the use of radio and rf equipment from i
I agree with this assessment. == K8JHR == Start documenting it, and start a cordial correspondence with them. Eventually they may realize it that it could cost them more than just lost energy in thei

What about a vertical dipole ? == K8JHR == But this antenna is NOT balanced -- the radials have a MUCH MUCH LOWER impedance to earth than the vertical element. It is a GOOD antenna, but it is NOT a B
Reason I ask is that I have been considering an off center fed 15 meter vertical, with two radials, at about 45 degrees off vertical, with the "base" or center feed point, set about 20 feet up. Verti
