Re: new with questions....

You mentioned you are using a t-connector. That might be the problem. Set the t-connector aside and try each antenna seperately and directly to the radio for an SWR reading. If you are able to tune each antenna this way for a decent SWR reading, then you might want to use a co-phase system that has ...

Re: FINAL SWAP

I replaced sd1446 finals w/ 2sc2290's in an old Galaxy linear. I found the upgrade/ replacement info in a pamphlet from RF parts and it worked very well. They stressed the importance of using 2 beta-matched finals together rather than randomly picking a couple of the same make/model.

Re: 146 GTL swing mod

After looking at the location of this mod, and the parts involved, there is no way you need the recommended 2 pieces of 6" wire at all.

Re: MAGNUM MINI MAG

I would like to know which jumpers you removed to get it to 11 meters. I think I will be getting one of the 15 watt versions in the mail very soon and since they are a fairly new radio, I haven't found much info on them yet. Any help w/ this is greatly appreciated.

146 GTL swing mod

http://www.geocities.com/y40002000/plowboy39.html You only need a 1n4001 diode and a foot of thin wire as the resistor is re-used in this version. I had to post this as I have been having a heck of a time finding specific mods for the 146 gtl. Maybe this will save someone some trouble.

Blown Final side-effects?

I have a 2950 pre-DX. I saw one of the finals had a hole melted in it but the radio still worked. One day I had no transmit, no recieve, and dim lights. Is this all a result of the final finally giving out, or did I fry other stuff by letting the problem go? Any input or theories are very welcomed. ...

Re: Cobra 148 GTL: Unlocking the Clarifier

I like the clarifier to slide further than 6 kz because then I can get to the "A" channels between 3&4, 7&8, 11&12, and 19&20. JMO.
