I have resolved myself to modification of my Viking 2. The instructions in the 6N2 manual seem straight forward except the part where the V2 vfo connector is changed with a 9 pin Noval socket (and the

It's nice to hear about your Johnson gear. And I really like the picture. When I was a teenager growing up in NE Iowa we made a few trips to the FCC office in St. Paul for exams and also to Canada for

Well since we've got no pressing technical issues,? here's something that might be of interest to new and old members alike. The EF Johnson Company was growing rapidly in the late 1950s and had run

Hello Jerry, You won’t normally see a bunch of traffic here. If someone has an issue, people seem to appear ‘out of the mist’. Back about COVID time, it seemed like I somehow wound up with a

Welcome, Jerry ! You’ll find helpful, friendly folks here. Among the rigs in my radio-overpopulated-shack are a Valiant and a Navigator along with a couple of Messengers converted to 10

I just found this group and subscribed so I thought I would say hello. EF Johnson gear has always appealed to me and I have fond memories of the Viking II I used as a Novice in 1970. I didn't own

Good morning Bob, That is exactly what I was after. I planned to use an external speech amp I already have and supply filament externally if necessary. The Thor unit has an output connection to

Hi Tom, I haven't done that combination but I have used the Clegg Thor modulation-power supply with a couple of transmitters that don't have one,? including the little Palco Bantam 65 and an ARC-5

Does anyone have any experience mating a 6N2 with the Clegg Thor supply/modulator? I’m trying to put a 6N2 on 6m AM for some local rag chewing and really not interested in modifying either of my

Still looking for an Invader (NOT Invader 2000).? If you have one to sell and are going to Dayton, here's your chance to sell it without having to ship.? Or, I might be willing to come and get

Jeff, If you use a lathe, be careful.? The aluminum of the cap is 'dead soft' for forming and about any type of tooling you use will grab the can with really bad result. 'If' you could mount a

Thanks, Don. I used wide metallic aluminum tape for the cover.? It would have worked perfectly had I done a better job of cutting the can. I used a tubing cutter and I anticipated the ratty result

You can find a thin cardboard tube that fits over it and paint it silver to match. Many caps from that era had a paper outer wrapper. Donald KX8K <jeffbauman@...>

Happy to report the TR switch is in-line and did an awesome job between my homebrew TX and Drake 2B / Lafayette HA-350 during Novice Rig Roundup! Not too happy with my handiwork restuffing the can,

Hello?? Free for Postage, USPS Flat Rate Box, ($30), to the Lower 48 only. Johnson Ranger 1 & 2 variable capacitor set (4 sets)Sets consist of:?? Main Tuning Variable Two-section Capacitor??

The harmonics are not just VHF, they are HF. If you are on 7 MHz the TR switch will generate 14, 21, 28, and so on. I'm not saying that is a problem that will "bite" everyone, but it will certainly

Thanks, Tom! I am encouraged to know I should be OK with the 3.5V to the RX. As I can increase my TX output to 20 watts, that should make the RX even happier by cutting off a bit more signal than 10

The capacitors will not be perfect, they will have leakage. Usually it is a slow-charge leakage. Some years ago, probably the 1980s when I was doing a QSK switch for Heathkit, I looked at the Johnson

Hello Mike. I have one but have never tried to connect it. There are a few little dings in the paint, but overall, it looks pretty good. I can send a few photos if you
