How does one leave the HV off the tubes ? Do you mean to go in and disconnect an HV lead or leads ? Or do you mean to turn on the power and not apply any drive for a long time ? It would seem awkward
Stuart, Yes, I've seen those switches. But neither of my two amps are so equipped. But I understand that what is meant is truly disconnecting the HV. That's the point I guess. Gary -- Original Messag
It's sort of the perfect example of "your mileage may vary. I like the narrowest filter. Even moreso, I use an outboard DSP filter that also has bandpass capability and I like to crank that down also
Yes indeed on the fishing around ! I have seen that often. In fact, no doubt I am one of the guilty ! <grin> With both IF and DSP filters cranked way way down, I won't hear stations calling even slig
I think not using ALC is fine, if and only if, you know how to manually set the drive level to a point that is appropriate to your amp, and if you do this all the time. If your amp will accept the fu

An industrial strength foot pedal is what I use. I don't prefer vox because of background noises and I hate it that the vox cuts in and out between words or even letters depending on how I speak. Rat
There are symptoms other than a warble. You might notice these especially if you don't work only CW. The tuning action becomes slightly stiff in comparison to baseline. Also, as you tune to a positio

Yes, routers and similar network operations devices make use of 000 and also 255 issued for certain operations (by convention, not necessity) and for that matter 1 and 254 are usually reserved for ce
You are right Duane, most people have their IP addresses managed by DHCP whether it is done in their own router, or by their ISP. That said, the DHCP server does not assign zeros by default. So, unle
Good points. I always assign my IP addresses statically (having been an ISP for years I'm a nerd about this) so I don't even notice when devices do or don't have DHCP capability. This capability is s
As another poster noted, some home routers do assign zeros in the third spot, contrary to usual custom. Others do not. Reconfiguring the local non-routable address block used from 192.168.0.xxx to 19
Well Jeff, I'm not trolling for a dispute :) I agree that it would be better otherwise. I note that some posters say that it is in fact different...so we have some question even about the facts, or i
