My Centurion has a Peter Dahl replacement transformer that is over wound a bit to bump up the plate voltage. Does a nice job. It's a great amp. With the plate voltage and the RF parts graphite tubes
Im sure that is possible but the result might be that you end up with the efficiency of a dummy load hanging in a tree. The rig would be happy though... There are no silver bullets to turn a poorly m
In regards to the statement below, which is correct, one of he worst things you can do is use too small of an iron. It causes one to linger and twist around on the connection trying to get the connec
I dont use the hot air to unsolder PAs....only surface mount work. I will use my chisel tip iron to do the melting and the vacuum desoldering gear to pull away the puddle some times. Cecil Acuff Gulf
Well as far as soldering there are a bunch more.... For example: Always keep a wet sponge on the bench and clean the iron tip before every trip to the circuit board. Wet the tip with a touch of solde
I kind of Hijacked an earlier thread thinking it would be a great point for discussion and maybe result in helpful feedback to all involved. -- We can thank the three major US manufacturers, Ten Tec,
My experience with DXing is much like you state Jim but on really weak DX, I'm constantly twisting knobs trying to optimize the RX....RF gain, BW, high and or low cut, APF and its frequency settings.
Very subjective. My Orion II is very good but I do find my Icom Pro III to have better intelligibility in many cases. (SSB) All with identical external speakers/headphones. I will have to say it also
As do I with the Sound Tech 1700A but I have not applied it at this point. Cecil -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
I currently have the same problem...I haven't submitted an update to my DXCC In years. I'm using DXBase and have come to hate it. Looking for something new. I noticed DXlab has a whole suite of produ

If there are two of them in parallel wouldnt good practice be to replace them both? It that is the case something with a lower voltage than I suggested might be in order.. Cecil Acuff Gulfport MS K5D
Another option since it is in parallel with a twin would be to replace both with these.. http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Murata-Electronics/DHRB5AD101M1CB/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMsh%252b1woXyUXj4JRvXjdr5gR
Ok, here goes with an analogy... Ive been up in the Smokey Mountains many times and they have some of these beautiful short tunnels through rocky hillsides for the roads to pass. Lets say you were st
