How much antenna do you have? In the northeast, I rarely see background noise less than S5 (-97 dBm) at night on 80m (using receivers that have calibrated S-meters), even with pretty pitiful antennas

I've had bad experiences with TriFlo on guns -- the base oil hardened to form a varnish-like deposit. The most stable teflon-filled lubricants I know of are the DuPont Krytox products (oils and greas

I found that even with the drag components removed, the damping oil in the encoder bearing of my RX340 made its action significantly stiffer than I wanted, so I took the encoder apart and flushed out

IME this is very sensitive to implementation -- I find I'm often wanting to tweak DSP and mechanical filters, but with a well-chosen set of LC filters (Drake R8 series, for example) I'm content not t

There is nothing intrinsic in the 3053/3028 that would require biasing the input terminals to 2/3 Vcc rather than 1/2 Vcc -- it's just a differential pair with an on-chip current source feeding the e

You will likely get a variety of responses. Here's my tuppence worth: As far as features and capabilities, a fully-featured scope will do things you don't even know yet that you will want to do, and

Outside of Tek and HP, there simply isn't much that passes as a useful scope. Phillips and Hitachi both made some OK scopes, but B&K, Leader, and Sencore never did IMO. The lesser scopes don't trigge

I wouldn't say good scopes are plentiful under $100, but they are available. IMO, the target range is $125-200. And people often ask way more than they would ever sell for -- check ebay's completed l

You can swap the "end" contacts of the pot (i.e., cross the wires that connect them to the PC card). This will restore the original linearity, at the expense of lower frequencies being clockwise and
