"I want to win a Dr. HD Advanced Satellite Meter." Thanks for the contest! 73 :)

Thanks for the contest :) Maybe if I get a little cleaning done I'll post a pic later. ;) Anyway, I would replace the Freesat v7 that I'm currently using. I would use it for scanning both C and Ku band sats, as well as watching regular FTA programming. I get the feeling that the Amiko likely...

I've got a 25 or so year old laptop. I'm sure it cost a couple thousand when new. I'd sell it for 100$ and the buyer would have to pay the shipping. see the similarity? ;)

anyway, like you guys said, the radio isn't worth pouring too much effort into, unless its for some kind of experiment or serious mod. it may just end up being a test radio for antennas and working on amplifiers for 2m so I don't toast a better radio while experimenting. and its parts if I ever...

sloppy schematic of whatever it is

more pix of the back plate. the 2 big things are not capacitors, they are some kind of socket that looks like they are for light bulbs. the sockets look like they were factory installed. they are spot welded in place. 3 resistors, 2 transistors, and what looks like a plate capacitor, but maybe...

you'd think by now in life I'd have the i before e except after c rule down.... ;)

thanks for the info! it already has a ton of crystals in it. there’s also some components that are not hooked to anything mounted to the back of the door for the cavity that the crystals are in. any idea what is going on there?

hey everybody, I'm still really new to this, so I may be wrong, but it seems like this radio won't do ctcss? I have to plug crystals to change frequency on receive and transmit. it has a dial with positions for 12 frequencies on receive and 12 frequencies on transmit. I also have a wouxon...

i've had my call sign for about a week now. :) KN4AYP

i'm working on an antenna right now. when i get finished, im going to see if i can reach any repeaters from here. with the rubber duck on a wouxon handheld, i can bring a couple up, but im not transmitting strong enough to talk. im still very new to this and have a lot of learning to do ;) im...

hey KE4EST, do you spend much time on 2M? if so, how far can you see repeaters to the north?

Happy Birthday man!! I hope its your best yet:)

sounds like a real good problem to have from my perspective right now... ;)

hi everybody :) KN4AYP here.
