Paul, Why the need for a rotating turret? Wouldn't switching taps accomplish the same thing? Cliplead taps on the coil have been a staple of link coupled systems since the early days of ham radio, an
Rick, Just to clarify here - when you say "if you can find a good JVM, buy it" - are you referring to the 275W or the KW version, or both? TNX/73, Al _______________________________________________ T

Woody, Since no one else has replied, I'll take a shot at answering your question. The following is from Motorola Application Note AN-593 "BROADBAND LINEAR POWER AMPLIFIERS USING PUSH-PULL TRANSISTOR
Allan, Just to make sure - remember that the switch is in series with the front panel switch on the rig. The push on - push off type switches used in the older rigs (Tritons, early Omnis, Delta, Argo
Correction to my last post: the front panel switch is a push in/pull out, not push on push off. SRI about that, brain rebooting HI HI!! 73, Al -- previous message -- Allan, Just to make sure - rememb
Never liked the Speed-X action??? I consider the Speed-X series (properly adjusted of course) to be one of the best "bang for the buck" straight keys out there. My dad was a seagoing USCG op in WWII

Cold solder joints? Not just Paragons, but Corsairs, Delta IIs... almost any of the older TT rigs, probably other brands as well, along with various automobiles (ask me how I know!) and most any othe
I've owned a couple of K2s over the years and scratched my head quite a bit over why the IF/AF filter selection system was set up the way it was (filter selection stepping wide to narrow, requiring "

"QRP-eliminator"? Does that mean it filters out any signals which are below a certain TX power output? Guess I better stay away from that one!!! SRI, couldn't resist HI HI!! 73, Al .... _____________
Rick, I was razzing you about your typo (you typed "QRP" instead of "QRM".) Go back and read carefully what you previously sent <grin> 73, Al _______________________________________________ TenTec ma
Slightly OT but there is also a motorsports-oriented company owned and operated by the same folks as DXE. Same "above and beyond" customer service from them also. (If you're curious who it is look at

Tim, It should be fairly easy to replace the speaker with something off the shelf from Mouser etc. once you determine the specs. I doubt it's anything exotic. 73 es GL, Al ___________________________
That's why you need a vehicle with a manual transmission (or one of the older design automatics with a rear pump so it can be push or pull started) for your outings and that you make sure the vehicle
John, Not to throw a wet blanket on your project, but in addition to finding out what the construction of the roof is (wood or metal) I'd also suggest doing some "sniffing around" with a portable rad
