just curious if any of them thanked you yet

If not; It's a damn shame. Dude here in the States, we have no one to be found with your type of skills. I'm seriously thinking of spending some serious time with a mentor if or when I find someone close by that knows what they are doing. Did you have someone coach you along the way? Tell us a littl...

I tried starting a new topic but it wouldn't post?

I just unlocked my clarifier on my dx-959. I used a jumper between +8v and J9 p1 and removed r113 and d68. I re aligned L20 to 16.27 L21 to 16.27250 and L22 to 16.2675 they are all right on the money. My radio display is centered and tracks up and down. My output freq (External freq counter on outpu...

become a paid member here and the service manual is downloadable.I just downloaded it and it gives the full alignment procedure. you will also need a freq counter and a scope to do it right. let me guess; the SSB transmitts off frequency? That was the problem with mine that I'm still working on. But...

I think the best thing to do is put in a jack on the inside wall like your cable company or phone company does. All you do is get a 5/16 drill about a foot long at the handware store and drill through the wall from the outside and then terminate the coax end leaving enough wire to pass through the w...

I'm in the same boat as you. I have a loaded vertical whip with radial leads and top hat. Now that I have this mounted; I'm wondering if I shouldn't have spent more planning on the antenna. The antenna I use is a mobile 67" Master Blaster on a 11' aluminum paint stick as a mast using a 3 way mi...

dx-959

Thanks guys! I'll throw this mod in this weekend and give it a shot. I hope to add a 90w pill box if CBSHOP.com ever actually gets it in the mail. I've got a power supply on its way and my antenna is set pretty close but still needs a little tweeking cause SWR is a little high on the lower band. I'm...
