Hi Alex, Cause is bloody rich! - His antennas are all matched and he probably has lighting arrestors that would stop anything. You can watch the episode on Ham Nation / Twit.tv where he makes the

I wish I had my book about Ham on a budget done, but it is still in the works. You need to get an antenna up, even if not licensed. Get or build an antenna matcher. Plans can be found all over the

Do as Simon says, and no, a ground connection is not needed as a receiver. Just disconnect the antenna when not around to prevent stray lightning damage. The ground "may" become necessary when

Doing what Gene writes below CAN still invite disaster. NJ1V (now K5XA) did that here in Oklahoma City years ago and the stroke STILL came in on the coax from the tower(s) 150 and 250 feet away and

The two pronged connector goes to an external power supply that will convert ac current to the dc 13.8 v current that operates your radio. The external power supply is what gets plugged into your wall

I'd ease up on that one a bit. I think with a key connected, he might be able to practice a little code with the sidetone and get a feel for things there too. You never know, he may become a CW op

Yes. And in the event of a lightening storm and when not in use, disconnect the antenna(s) from the 7000 and place the ends into an individual clean dry glass jar. Don't put your faith into a blitz

As suggested I've also turned VOX off and RF down to 0 per cent.

Thanks. On switching it on it goes straight to receive anyway. I haven't connected the mic and from what I can see in the manual the only transmit button is on the mic keypap.

Hi Robert Thank you for your reply. Yes it does seem that it can't be the dac as it provides the other modes.? I also notice that this radio has those ribbons as well, they make me shudder as I have

Read the owners manual! The external ground is NOT needed depending on who you listen to.. BOB HEIL a king in ham has 24 radios and 46 other items that have grounds in his shack and NON are grounded,

Don't connect the microphone. Turn off "vox".

Hi I've just bought this transceiver but must admit to being abit lost despite reading the manual. Do I have to plug in or ground the two pronged connector when using it at home as a base station. I

Hmm, is my CW filter ringing, all the dits seem to be smeared into dahs. :D All symbols are of the same length. Or is it a waterfall of narrow FSK? ;) -- 73 de Tony VK3JED/VK3IRL http://vkradio.com

If you count dots and dashes, you will be slow forever. Quickly unlearn that, and get used to the sound of "didadadadah dadadadadah dididididah" instead. Then you will quickly, continually, and

That said, I don't have an issue with "cheating" in CW, but it is good to practice the basic skills. As much as I love SDR and advanced digital modes - I spend the bulk of my on air time these days

I consider "cheating" using anything but a straight key.
