Over-voltage and electrical surges can damage these critical components, so I'll walk you through the simple process of installing a Zener diode to safeguard your radio's performance and longevity.

No (tr)usdx Power Output? Check Your Finals!
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.11 месяцев назад
If you have very low RF output from your (tr)usdx like I did (0.3W-0.6W with 12v), then you may just need to replace your finals. I believe I killed my finals by transmitting into a high SWR antenna without using an external tuner (lesson learned). If you've tried changing settings, adjusting your frequency offset, and still don't have much power coming out, it may well be worth checking your f...
Stealthy HOA HF Vertical Antenna?
Просмотров 204Год назад
As always, I'm experimenting with HF antennas again. This time, I decided to see if I could get my 20m hamstick to work sticking out of the roof of my house. I 3d printed two custom adapters to mount the hamstick to, fed it with 75ohm coax that was already installed in the house, and used the existing radiant barrier in the attic as a radial field. While it's not a pile-up buster by any means, ...
Updated Stealth HOA HF Antenna!
Просмотров 6772 года назад

You can check that video out here: ruclips.net/video/Grgn5-9CxUo/видео.html I live in a HOA, so keeping it stealthy is a must with the added benefit of making it a bit more challenging! I had good success with that first version but saw a lot of room for i...
Stealthy HOA HF Antenna
Просмотров 7 тыс.2 года назад
There aren't a lot of videos detailing HF ham antenna setups for those of us living in Home Owner's Associations (HOAs), so I decided to show mine. What I've built here is a "random" wire end fed wire antenna that's somewhere between 53' and 56' long. This length allows me to operate on the common ham bands from 80m to 10m without needing any sort of tuner. It is fed with a 9:1 balun I built, a...
