Well said. I don't have an argument with any of what you wrote. You clearly understand the subject. I just didn't want folks to think they could solve their HF 3:1 SWR problems by changing the length

Steve, I assume that you know a lot of what I am about to share but I include it for others reading the thread who may not know A lot of what you said is true about the transmission lines acting as im

That is a curious problem and I look forward to hearing the resolution. I tend to agree with William. SWR is independent of where you measure it along a length of coax. There are two exceptions to thi

Terry, I am by no means an expert and I am sure you will get lots of help from others with this but it sounds like you have two problems. The shutting down on transmit sounds like the power supply vol

I think the red flags went up for many of us who read the original post and folks are just trying to establish if this is legitimate or not. I don't know if this is a legit posting or not, but he clai

Ken, I had this problem on one of my IC7000. We noticed that it was ever so slightly off frequency on HF. It was usable on VHF but not UHF, but I didn't use it there. Turns out the primary oscillator

Bob asked me for some help posting the.pdf file to the files section so I just did it for everyone's convenience. I suspect he will post any updates to it when it becomes available. Best Regards, Denn

Just out of curiosity, what APRS tracker are you using? Best Regards, Dennis, N8ERF

I sent a note to that website inquiring about price and relationship to the Michel's Engineering DX-21. Here is a part of his reply. Pricing is found on the German language site only. "The technology

Interesting discussion. It looks like the Michel's Engineering Speech Extractor DX-21 is no longer available. Not even eBay. Sounds like a good unit, though. Dennis, N8ERF

Doug, Thanks for the explanation. I wasn't aware of that arrangement. I have always enjoyed my QSOs with VK and ZL landers. I will keep my ear open for you. I am good in QRZ.com. Contact me off list i

Doug, Welcome to the group and thanks for the introduction. I knew that 4 letter suffixes were theoretically possible, but yours is the first one I have come across in reality, other than special even

Ron, I think one of us is confused. This list is for the Icom 7000 radio. I don't think it has anything to do with the CS-7000 DMR radio. Best Regards, Dennis, N8ERF

Bob, Some IC7Ks have had problems with failed final power amplifier transistors. It happened to mine even though I was diligent at keeping the temperature down. The repair tech told me that the drive

Thanks for all the great input. Just for clarification, I used copper strap outside between the bulkhead panel and the tower/radial network. I used copper braid inside between the shack ground buss an

Gary, Thank you for your comments on the merits of Tinned copper braid as an RF ground. Your position that it is NOT a good RF ground is contrary to what I have read and have been told. It is times li

Chuck, I can't argue with any of that. As you suggest, it would be impractical to tie each piece of equipment to that external panel directly. However, the 'single point ground" in the shack has to be

Steve, Thanks for the clarification. I knew I didn't like the idea of using coax for the ground cable but I didn't think of the code issue. I had not seen your grounding article before, thanks. N6JSX

Dear No Name, There are many different types of ground and setting up a good grounding system for your station is not a simple thing that can be explained in a couple of sentences. You will need to ed

Charles, Thanks for sharing the file. It was easy enough to go into the files section and download it. The latest link didn't work either. Probably not worth your effort to try to resolve that issue e
