Louis, All of your points are fair points. No question. (Except for one). Mike picked up the last few glowing coals from the fire that was almost extinguished and is trying to re-kindle it, paying ca
Hi Mike (Bates) .... we have so many Mikes! Your point on the reciprocal mixing is well taken but at least for now, I feel you are over-rating the value of doing that. In the interest of advancing te
Bob, I would strongly recommend placing a 1:1 choke between the openwire and the Eagle, just in case. 73 - Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany) I'm on a casual 80/40 DX kick until the QRN gets bad. T

GENTLEMEN, MAY I SUGGEST: let's not use Mike's survey subject for other topics. I know, I'm guilty too. It just now dawned on me that we are creating extra work for Mike when we do that. I changed th
Roger that. In my day, I repaired a lot of bikes (mostly BMW) with points but later when bikes upgraded to contact-less, I never had a problem with that again. As the computer says sometimes, "nothin
This is exactly my feelings about that radio. It is a great mobile radio, especially since it has the removable front panel. I used mine for 20 minutes in one CW contest (just wanted to see how it pe
"boards built in China" This is probably the silliest idea I've heard in a long time. When you say "Asia", that's pretty wide open. More specifically it needs to be China . . . which is on its way ou
Unfortunately the Sherwood list no longer represents true receiver performance. The new SDR radios need to be separated out from the traditional radios. The TS-590 has two sets of specs, one better t
For many years (almost 20) I have been pointing out that the band conditions here in Europe are much more severe than in the states, especially on 40m. Many radios that behave like a super trooper in

We are trying to load firmware V3.025 onto an Orion 565. It has been running V3.032. The V3.032 runs OK when barefoot but when using an Acom amplifier, it causes the ARC FAULT problem with the amp. W
RIGHT Carl! I remember now. We were discussing this a year ago. I used to know what the "real" cause of the problem was but have long since forgotton exactly what it was. It was a noisy power spike b
Roger Gary, but we used a WinXP computer in the attempt. And it works with other releases, just not with that one specific release. And Barry has corrected my earlier mistake, it is a High Pass Filte

There is a company in Greece that makes a 9-band BPF especially for this kind of radio. It costs less than $100. https://www.sv1afn.com/ham_band_presel.html They ship world-wide. 73 - Rick, DJ0IP (Nr
Steve, Do you think the Bandscope must be built in, or can it be a signal to the back panel to feed a computer and display? Unless you build a radio with an awfully large display, I don't see it well
Barry, Well then that's easy sourcing for me. Scott is sending me filters all the time (for my shop of course). Speaking of Scott, he was PJ4Q in the recent CQWW CW contest. My biggest feather in my
