The IC-7000 is already capable of 50 watts output on 144 MHz. The Mirage is capable of 100 watts Are you sure you want to go through the effort of adding this amplifier and keying hardware, etc. for
Agreed about the drop out time during SSB. Just depends on the time delay components Mirage has on the RF keying circuit that sets the drop out time. CW will definitely require having the external co

Just like any other microwave frequency equipment (or ANY HF-VHF-UHF radio equipment for that matter), enhanced performance is based on improvements to the total system gain and noise figure, such as
AGREED !! In the end, you still have to complete the QSO and the exchange via the radio link before you can count the Q. Been trying to drive home that point for over 35 years of VHF-UHF contesting n

I agree.......unless scoring is now based on distance measurements, what is the purpose of exchanging more data, that must now be logged, that could screw up logging software !!?? Ron WW8RR Why did t

Dex, I looked through my library of files on preamps, etc. tonight researching my old Lunar stuff. I ran across some old PAE and PAF preamp sheets, but not the PAG. However, I did find a Lunar price
Agree with Bill....... All of the popular named rotors I have ever owned (CDE, Hygain, Alliance, Yaesu, Kenpro, etc) all use 24 volt AC motors in the rotor in conjunction with a motor capacitor switc
Or.......you're ALREADY in the middle of "other things" (wink, wink) and those phone calls start rolling in and pagers are going off about the BIG band opening. Even a tougher call !! Life is cruel..
I know on the IC-910H, and I believe the IC-746 Pro, you can set the CW to "reverse CW" (in menu) so that it goes to the Upper Sideband, then use the RIT for slight tuning in of the SSB signal and st
Les, I have built amplifier keying interfaces for all my Icom contesting radios (IC-275, 375, 475, 575, 910H, etc) using the ACC jack on the rear. All of these radios have been used at one time or an
The IC-910H (high power) all tricked out with 1296 is a great tri-band radio. Ron WW8RR --Original Message-- From: vhfcontesting-bounces@contesting.com [mailto:vhfcontesting-bounces@contesting.com] O
What I find bothersome about a comment like "As far as the VUAC goes, I see that group as being rather worthless" on a reflector frequented by serious and professional VHF-UHF contesters is that it i

Unfortunately Dexter, the entire 902-927 Mhz band is an ISM band and we amateurs must share it (and put up with) with all sorts of 900 MHZ consumer and commercial devices such as cordless phones, cor
