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
FYI, if the PS has a loud hum when in SSB but not talking, check the bias per the manual. On Sat, Dec 28, 2024, 7:40 PM Adam N0ZIB via <mradam79=[email protected]> wrote:

SX-117 HT-44 and PS-150-120 for sale
Looking to sell my SX-117-HT-44 set and my PS-150-120. Bought this set along with an SR-150 from a silent key ham friend, but really don’t have the room for all of these.?
Comes with manuals and the connection cables for running both units together.
?
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.? ?
Asking $400 for all of it. ?Local pickup only please near St Louis MO. Can send plenty more pictures.? |

TinySA Ultra follow-up

From the TinySA official website. Where to buy. I guess the key is who made it. It seems that Zeenko is the authentic manufacturer.
Safe places to buy an original tinySA

Re: A good start
开云体育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! 73/jeff/ac0c alpha-charlie-zero-charlie On 12/27/2024 6:08 PM, waltcates via

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. Bill

Pete and the group,
You have to be very careful where you order from. The designer and manufacturer of the TinySA recommend R&L electronics hear in the states.
Amazon and E bay are loaded with clone knock-offs.?

Oh, Yes R&L Electronics price 149.95 shipping 10.95.

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! :-) John K5MO On Fri, Dec 27, 2024 at 5:49?PM Peter A Markavage via <pmarkavage=[email protected]> wrote:

Re: removed
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. Bob W4JFA On Fri, Dec 27, 2024 at 4:55?PM waltcates via <cateswa=[email protected]> wrote:
