Re: SX-117 HT-44 and PS-150-120 for sale

 

Steve, that’s exactly what was happening. ?I correctly adjusted the bias and the hum is gone. ?
You all are a wealth on knowledge!


Re: CW Chirp

 

Hi Steve. It is good to hear from you. It has been a while since we last talked on the DX60 Net.?
?
I have cycled several 6BA6 tubes through the oscillator and tonight I repeated that exercise. I have one that sounds just a little better than the others so maybe a new tube would be worth a try. I thought one of the ones I had was NOS but it is pretty hard to tell.?
?
The 5MHz VFO signal looks good on the scope. It is a decent sine wave and looks the same with key down as it does with key up. At the key down transition I'm seeing some high frequency distortion but it only lasts for about two cycles of the 5MHz signal. It could easily be my scope picking up transients at that point.?
?
I now have solid state regulators on the VFO screen and plate. Hopefully some day I can take those out. This thing has been driving me nuts. It almost sounds OK but I'm just not quite satisfied with it.?
Thanks for your help. 73. Jerry - W0PWE


Re: SX-117 HT-44 and PS-150-120 for sale

 

thanks Steve. ?I’ll double check that?


Re: SX-117 HT-44 and PS-150-120 for sale

 
Edited

FYI, if the PS has a loud hum when in SSB but not talking, check the bias per the manual.
The finals may be drawing too much resting current.

The power supply has a strong hum so i would think it needs recapped. The receiver is fantastic! Haven’t used the HT-44 yet. I ordered the injection cables but never did set it all up.?

Re: A good start

To add to the fellows caution.? The reason for getting an authentic version is that firmware updates and some of the self-cal processes don't run properly on some of the clones.? I guess the thinking by these clone makers must be that the recourse to the seller is lost in the noise in the event of problems.? And that most users won't actually use it for serious work.? That must be true as there are a thousand out on the Aliexpress site making Amazon look somewhat tame by comparison.


Good luck!

Re: Stuck ferrite coils

 

If it's stuck, most likely it cracked.? They crack and open up, that locks them in place.? The only way to get them out is pick out the pieces.? How did it get cracked (if it is), someone used an incorrect alignment tool. Good luck.

Re: A good start

 

I too got a Tiny SA Ultra from Santa this year. I'm waiting for a DC block and a set of attenuators before I use it much, in order to keep from damaging it.

I would recommend getting the TSA Ultra from R&L in the US. There are a TON of ripped off clones of this thing circulating through various places.

It's staggering to get a piece of gear for $159 that replaces a $20K box of a few years ago.

Merry Christmas to us! :-)

Yes, it can. It has eliminated several test instruments from my bench. It is a spectrum analyzer, RF signal generator (cw, am, fm), sweep generator and frequency generator. You can sweep filters and IF's. It has several other functions I have yet to explore.

I got first tinysa a couple years ago. Now paired with the tinysa ultra, the only piece of test equipment on the bench I now use is the scope.

Walt, I don't know what happened but I do know sometimes GroupsIO will automatically remove someone if they report it as spam.
How it knows I don't know but that's one possibility. The only time I had seen that it was done accidentally.
