So maybe the Hercules can be converted to use MOSFETs. Seems like it should be possible. I also think MFJ needs some competition on MOSFET linear amplifiers to get the price point within reach of the
How much would the parts cost in their higher power MOSFET amplifier? I am guessing a fraction if the $3500 price tag it hits by the time you add QSK, 10m etc. I am simply saying that that is beyond
Yes Eric. They are a bargain. I see lots of used AL80 amplifiers at hamfests for around $700 - 850 depending on condition and the mood of the seller. They look good. Of course two 3-500z tubes will b
I have heard only ONE MFJ $2895 MOSFET amp on the air which leads me to think the "average ham" is going for something else. Best regards - Bry Carling
Hello all, I wonder if anyone has been through this before? I have successfully used digital modes for some time with a Yaesu FT857D. I have been trying a couple of different ways to get my OMNI VII
Thank you Bob, The computer is selecting the correct sound card. It does receive properly from the LINE OUT on the read ACC1 of the OMNI VII. I tried setting it to LINE INPUT and upped the gain to 65
Thank you Ed, I have tried all of those things. Still no audio on transmit wit hthe OMNI VII. I am glad my FT857D wasn't this difficult. 73 de AF4K, Bry
It's a commercial interface I got from eBay called EASYDIGI that appears to not be conveying the transmit audio through to the ACC1 connector. More results soon. Best regards - Bry Carling
I don't think it's the signal levels unless there is a bad connection insid ethe Easy-DIGI or her connected it to the wrong pin on the ACC1 cable. There is plenty of audio coming out of the laptop.
Bob thank you for the excellent tip! Yes when I turn MON on and bring it up I can hear a nice audio signal playing JT65 tones when I transmit. But still no RF out. The OMNI VII refuses to transmit th
Nothing is smoked. The Tentec just has VERY low gain on that aux input when used in USB mode unfortunately. If I run everything flat out, I can make contacts. OMNI VII Line Gain 100% Software level a
It may be "fried" but I seriously doubt it. I was able to work into VK this morning on 40m with JT65 and I am now getting 30 - 50 watts output. The fault may be in the amount of signal WINDOWS 8 is a
