that experiment will have to wait until I can get down to the shack.. mike Mike Bryce, WB8VGE the heathkit shop SunLight energy systems J e e p o|||||||o
excellent troubleshooting although the diodes on the swr board don't control the PA in anyway. but it could be that a spike came down the coax and took a few things out. It's possible. if you can get
I'll give it a try when i am back on my feet. Looks like a zipper down the front me. I wonder why the thing works so good on the other bands. tunes right up. I am going to order the 470 pf doorknobs
Paul, while every tech has his or her own style, here's how I do it. you're 35 watt iron should be fine. You don't want to lift the copper from the board! while the soldering iron is warming, draw, p
Humm, bummer Remember, that Paul needs to mark up the price of his parts, too Does RF parts carry the MRF454s? I've had great success using my weller WTCP iron with a 35 watt element and a large chis
i kinda of laughed on that... I'm sure they are not refurbished, but just boiler plate that had been cut and pasted into the ad the ones from communication concepts at $82 for a matched pair isn't ba
Paul, Remember there are three things in life that always must be taken into account. 1. Time 2. Labor 3. Materials It's going to take just as much time and just as much labor to install a low beta t
Paul and the gang Every service tech has a different way of fixing and resolving problems, and I've had my hands inside a lot of radios, Here's some tips on getting it back together. Of course you us
Geoff, and all.... That's certainly one way of looking at it. I've been known to spend $150 on a counter chip for a $75 rig. I guess it is how you look at. And while he didn't say so, I bet Paul gave
Excellent information. I also have used with great success a hot air reflow iron. I didn't mention it because they are not usually found in too many ham shacks and they are dangerous to both the user
Excellent troubleshooting! Besides the experience you gained, you saved a lot of money by NOT sending the radio out for repair. Mike Bryce, WB8VGE the heathkit shop SunLight energy systems J e e p o|
Hummmm, The DYI keyer from my qrp column in 73 and they re-published it in the short lived radio run. Has it really been that long ago? Mike wb8vge Sent from my iPad
Well gang, Its great being able to move again and once more Im in the shack. I did some interesting testing with my doublet. heres a recap 132 feet on each side fed with 180 ish feet of 600 ohm open
Its wire, with spacers to make it 600 ohm impedance. Like window line, minus the windows. I cant really add much more length to the feed side of the antenna, Ive got it spread out across the ceiling
Bob, John, and the gang, I agree. Why the palstar cant match at 1.825 and the Ten Tec 253 can, yet the palstar can easily match the doublet at 10.120 and the 253 cant still remains a mystery to me. I
Harry, shouldnt be too hard. Basically the Pegasus is nothing more than a Jupiter without a front panel. Just make sure the finals are bad, they are quite robust, but do fail. Are you drawing current
Jim, ive tried it both ways and it doesnt seem to matter much. Im going to pull out the 238 and try it with the internal balun Mike Bryce prosolar@sssnet.com
