Doesn't matter if it's good science or not, if you ship the stuff without declaring it as PCBs, you could get burned legally, and if you do declare I doubt they will let you. 73, Pete N4ZR __________

You are missing out on a lot by limiting yourself this way, because the SB-220 is a great active antenna tuner. I routinely use mine on antennas cut for the low end of 80M up in what used to be calle

Jeff, there's a huge difference between being conservative - a good thing, usually - and forgoing significant benefit because of a misconception. I love my SB-220 too, and I try very hard not to do d

Carl occasionally goes too far, but he also has forgotten more about amps (from a practical and repair perspective, especially) than most of us will ever learn. He's a valuable resource, and it would

I've only been doing this ham radio thing for 55 years, but until this year I never owned or even used an oscilloscope. I now have an old 15-MHz dual trace machine that works fine, and I'm trying to

I have had my SB-220 for about 10 years. It was meticulously built by a real old-timer. One of its true beauties is the relatively forgiving tuning - by putting index card behind the two capacitor kn

The older VFD wattmeter also has a VSWR alarm that lights an LED, and they had an add-in kit to provide a relay. Homebrewing the relay circuitry would be quite easy. 73, Pete N4ZR New Articles Daily

I'm not so sure. The grid trip circuit protecting the 8877's fragile grid is apt to drive a new op crazy. Why not an AL-1200 or even the 2X500Z amp? More to the point, Shon, it might make a lot more
