Hmm: No, the only power supply problems I have had with my 425 was a power surge induced rectifier failure. Being a great believer in "hell for stout" I replaced the failed rectifiers with four 14 KV
Tom, I found the cap at a hamfest. Six bucks - and I will trade a jaybird for a turkey if the turkey is fat. Although Surplus Sales of Nebraska has some pretty good prices on caps also. Just not that
While it's everyone to their own tastes, as the goodman said that kissed the pig, I actually had an OmniV and VI on line at the same time. There was very little difference between them but guest ops
Well, before anyone gets too exercised about Japan Inc cutting prices, this morning's exchange rate was just over 116 yen to the buck. That compares to 137 just last fall. At that rate it would have
Hi: I also have a pair of VI's upgraded to option 3. There was a problem or two with very early VI's, the first was in redoing the V front end board the mixer was installed improperly. Look up the si
Well, I have close to fifty computers, 35 running on DOS/Novell networks, the rest using various perversions of Windows. I much prefer the DOS boxes since they work, work well, and don't overwrite th
Well, Joe, I don't know what's missing but, I have a computer I cannot reload the original version of ME on, because it says I need the ME Upgrade. So I got one. Which will not load because it says i
Tom, the format used came straight off the Windows distribution disks. This is a known deal with some hi capacity hard drives - and I do have the Maxtor distribution disk to restore the drive to the
Headphones are pretty much a matter of choice. Someone mentioned using Brush earbiters with a pair of face powder sponges for padding a while back - a la 1953 USMC practice - but his jug handles must
Well, this thread has me scratching my head a bit. I no longer use my AL-1500 with the QSK kit, but my Orion works quite well with the single TX relay line connected, while the Centurion does just fi
While I certainly understand the frustration when a dealer "won't make a defective product right," there's somthing that has NOT been mentioned, and should have been. The law. As Will Rogers said, "W
If you look carefully at "bargain ads" you will see terms such as "refurbished," "factory serviced," "demonstrator," "as new," etc., etc.. There's nothing wrong with that, they give the buyer a forew
As you say, this thread has gone on far too long. But unlike you, I will seek out Philips when I decide to pop for a CD burner. The reason's simple. Philips is protecting you the consumer, their deal
Well, we all slip up sometime. The rule for this reflector should be the same as any other venue. Don't say anything in public you wouldn't say to your preacher. And E-mail is essentially public, eve
Chuckle! I'm not surprised Tim is so pleased with his Omni VI+. Tim's experience mirrors the many rig shootouts we have had over the years. Now, Tim needs to try a 705 mike and SSB. He will be equall
Well, I see they still make the 2 speaker lines to 1 speaker transformer. That will take the speaker output from two rigs and deliver mixed output to a single speaker. Personally, too many years of h
Besides the fact that UPS package smashers can destroy a steel block... According to one of Vibroplex' dealers, who is one of Mitch's personal friends as well as one of mine, the lady who assembled V
First, having given my 526 a good wring out against a good selection of the competition, the 526 is a BASIC rig, not an incompetent rig. It lacks some of the seldom used bells and whistles of some of
Hola Javier, pardon, por favor, mi Englis, mi Espanol es muy malo. First, Omni VI's are very high performance ham band only rigs. Mine tune down to around 1,760 or so and there is really no good way
