RE: [AMRadio] RCA BTA-5T Transmitter
The biggest restriction in the 5T is the plate supply. It will easily make at least 5.4 KW (our TPO), but I've heard some guys Complain about theirs not being able to make those 115-120% peak positives. As to the 5F. completely different animal. The one that I've seen (WORK now WOYK) came with the plate and mod transformers for the 10F. All you had to do was drop in another 892R, and tuning. Robert A.

Re: [AMRadio] SX-99 Mute
Put a t/r relay in the antenna, and switch the speaker. Remember to switch in a resistor load in place of the speaker. I think the SX-99 has 500 ohm and 8 ohm outputs, you might bridge a 680 ohm resistor across the receiver's high impedance terminals. You should be feeding the receiver's 300 ohm balanced antenna input with a balun. You will enjoy a noticeable reduction in noise and increase in spurious signal rejection. 73 de Bill, ab6mt [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: "Bob Peters" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "AM" ; "Boatanchors" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 2:03 PM Subject: [AMRadio] SX-99 Mute Hay guys does the SX-99 have anyway to mute???

I happened to come across the little package of spare tubes, including a couple of the rare Amperex jobs used in the front-end that Don threw in with the deal. In this day when some sleazy characters yank installed filters and sell manuals separately to make an few extra bucks, it's great to have guys like Don who consistently go above and beyond. 73, Bob W9RAN __ AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
Re: [AMRadio] Schematic CAD's?
I simply use Windows Paint with WD4NKA's TubePAD bitmap symbols - works really nice for simple drawings. You draw lines, circles, etc as usual in Pain t, and use "Paste-As" to bring in the TubePAD schematic symbols. I try other more elaborate systems but so far I keep coming back to this method for quick and clean drawings on any computer I find myself on.

[AMRadio] Don Merz
I have been a customer of Don's for over 10 years - 60% of my current boatanchor AM station came from him - and countless other Things lare and small - I'm waiting on a couple of boxloads as we speak. Like was mentioned - his prices are 'swapmeet' prices, his service is excellent, items packed well - and you couldn't ask for a nice guy to deal with. My 200 millidollar for a Monday evening...

Re: [AMRadio] Tube socket info needed
With a whole lot of rewiring you could sub an 8877, too, because it uses the same socket, as well. - Original Message - From: "Larry Szendrei" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service" Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 5:48 PM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] Tube socket info needed Edward B Richards wrote: Hi all; Can someone tell me if a 4D32 and a 832A use the same tube socket?
