Re: TruSDX FTW
开云体育Doug,I assume you are talking about the USDX radio’s battery. The (tr)uSDX has no internal battery. A charger came with my USDX. Since it is charging 11 V battery, ?I assume it is feeding 11-12V. I never measured it so it is just a guess. I will test it when I get home (I’m in Seattle now). The plug is smaller than the external 12-13.8V ?ps plug which is a common size. Hiroki AH6CY ?

Re: TruSDX FTW
good advice. Any chance you could resend one of those pictures with the component circled? ? that'll make it a little easier when I get home and dig through my 10,000 emails. If not, it's easy enough to figure out. thanks again, Connie W6EFI On Sun, Jun 9, 2024 at 14:18, Doug Hendricks <ki6ds1@...> wrote:

Re: TruSDX FTW
开云体育I blew the BS170 final transistors (set of 3) twice due to inadvertent high SWR and had to replace them. ?Fortunately, the replacements transistors are inexpensive.Doug, when you say place 1n47576 between rf and ground, you mean rf antenna output to the ground?

Re: TruSDX FTW
Thanks for the tip– – I will look into this once I get back home. I'm glad I have a radio I feel ?comfortable just opening and modifying. 73, Connie W6EFI On Sun, Jun 9, 2024 at 07:57, Doug Hendricks <ki6ds1@...> wrote:

TruSDX FTW
I am on the road right now, currently in a hotel in Tehachapi. Last night I set up my truSDX connected to a small MFJ16010 tuner, then tossed a wire out into a tree from my balcony, and dropped counterpoise down to the ground. ?I plugged in a cheap straight key and a cheap pair of headphones, called CQ for about 2 min and?had a very nice CW qso with a guy in Sacramento. ?? The whole kit fits in my purse but I actually keep it in a small hand tool bag. ? this was a super proof of concept. The whole thing can come on the plane. Thanks again to you all and the QRPops group for all of the information and encouragement! Connie W6EFI -- Connie KN2EFI |

I am following your adventures here, Kinley. Please keep us updated. I will probably copycat down the line. On Sat, Jun 8, 2024 at 10:30, Joy Rabins <doghouse3@...> wrote:

Dick did tell me a story yesterday of a guy that ordered some type of beam with all the other accessories and when he went to put it up in the city of Cupertino they wouldn't let him. Dick got a deal on a brand new Yaesu rotator when the guy was selling all the unused parts of his antenna project.? Thanks for the heads up Doug, Joy N6GO |

Re: I just put in my order for a KIO hex beam !
开云体育It was really your input, Doug, that won the day at city hall. ?All I had to do was show them that Doug Hendricks had verified that the antenna height did not exceed city ordinance. ?Thanks for your help. On Jun 7, 2024, at 10:53 AM, Doug Hendricks via groups.io <ki6ds1@...> wrote:

Re: I just put in my order for a KIO hex beam !
Joy, if I were you, I would get the installation plans approved by the city of Sunnyvale.? ?Ask them for all rules and regulations concham radio antennas.? ?When you finish ask them to verify that your? installation is legal in the city of Sunnyvale.? ?Ask Dave Pollack.? He has experience dealing with this situation from an irate neighbor.? ?By the way, he won !!
