    Contest: Amiko Mini HD RE

    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...

    How much would this be worth?

    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? ;)

    scored a swan fm-1210-a 2m tranciever for free, got a few Qs

    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...

    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...

    scored a swan fm-1210-a 2m tranciever for free, got a few Qs

    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'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?

    Convert 6' solid dish to C band. How would I do this?

    I would be willing to trade a nice C-band dish, lnb, and pole for that dish. pm me if your interested.

    Contest: Welcome to Springtime! Win a Titanium Satellite ASC1 DiSEqC 1.2 Controller

    I want to move my dish. 10' with a c1wpll for linear C-band and i could use my 8' with a c1wpll and dielectric plate for circular C-band Thanks for the contest :)

    I miss DX'ing TV stations

    is the DTT901 considerably more sensitive than the Homeworx?

    Announcing the All New Titanium PLLv2-8KCS UHD Ready LNBF

    lol, but on a serious note, how about a dual output pll c-band lnbf that does circular and linear without having to play around with a stupid dielectric plate..... ;) i would buy 1 in a hurry :)

    Eagle Aspen Dual Power Stabilizer

    yup, thats what it looked like to me. if it is indeed a power inserter that senses voltage from the receiver and inserts the correct voltage on either port to the lnb/s (ie; does not lock polarity on either port) it could come in handy to take strain off of the receiver's power supply even with...

    Eagle Aspen Dual Power Stabilizer

    it looks like it may possibly be a dual, voltage sensing power inserter, and not a polarity locker. anyone know anything about this? could be a handy component to take the motor and/or lnb load off the receiver if it does not lock polarity.

    DirectPC Dish

    it's just a 1 watt transmitter, you are constantly bombarded with lots more than that constantly everyday from sources such as the sun, cell and radio towers, and wireless devices. a typical wattage for a microwave oven is 1200 watts..... besides, it has a separate f-connector than the receive...
