That's true if one has the space to dedicate another PC and monitor and mouse and whatever else is needed. Certainly that would be a bit easier to see but I would never run it on the same PC I'm usin
I've had both...the only time I ran my Yaesu at 200 w out was when I wasn't using the amp...forget and dial it back on the newer amps and it can damage things... My amps were older and needed 125 or
I'm curious what mode he is running...I wouldn't expect that with one if the intermittent modes...but with AM, RTTY, or one of the digital modes sounds like he might be hitting a duty cycle limit. Ho
I think two of the filter slots were termed as option slots....so 3 standard and 5 fully loaded. The voice synthesizer pretty much just annunciates the frequency displayed. Not sure what they are wor
And all under the RF Concepts banner... I'm guessing the Ten-Tec amps will either be discontinued or become the low end Alpha amps...there have been many asking for a more affordable Alpha amp design

I agree...I think it will come at some point...were just not there yet. I'm happy with a pair of 3-500ZG's that don't balk at reflected power over 2.5:1 and can be replaced every 10 or 15 years for a
Dang I can't imagine someone spending that kind of money on old, outdated, antiquated, obsolete technology....:-) I paid $2800 for mine 3 or so years ago and feel like I could get my money out of it
Sent from my iPad I like you Bob...... But we will never agree on that one.... Too many documents and industry standards say and do otherwise.... First line of defense is definitely outside but not c
No probably not but many of the principals can be scaled down as long as the basic rules are not ignored. And you are right it's relatively expensive and it won't work you any more DX for the money s
You had a ground loop of some sort....more than one path to ground can cause that... Your electrical panel ground for example should have been tied to that ground as well. Haphazardly stringing a bun
I'm not going to get into a huge debate about these issues because not everyone is going to agree...but! I think it important to differentiate these discussions between the two things that are trying
I can agree with "All lightning protection must BEGIN outside the structure." But the fact is we, by the very nature of building a radio station, have invited lightning inside by virtue of multiple c
