First, I am looking for some accesories. I don't have lots of money so trades would be nice however I can supply cash if required.. I am looking for the following: External VFO, 2 meter transverter and dc power adaptor. If you have any of these and want to get rid of them please let me know. I would also like to know where to get replacement output tubes for this radio. Considering its age, I figure it would be a good idea to get a few while the getting is good. What type of tubes does this radio use? What brand/type would make the best replacement? Now for some tech stuff.. I would like to know how to control the power output of the radio during vocie transmission. I know how to on CW (Just reduce car) but I don't know the proper way to do this on voice. My radio does not seem to put out its full rated 200 watts. Any ideas on this or any way to test it. It is possible that my MFJ d eluxe versa tuner II power meter may be innacurate. I have been told not to trust the readings on these meters. I have a Cmos super keyer II which is NOT compatable with the negative switching on the Kenwood. For any of you that have this problem, I have found a simple fix, here it is. 1. remove the phono plug from the end of your keyer cable. 2. Reverse the wires, soldering the origonal center wire to the outer connector of the plug. 3. To the center plug insert a resistor whos value is high enough to reduce the voltage presented to the keyer terminals (use a VOM and voltage divider equation) I used the higest possible value that still allowed the keyer to make the radio transmit. 4. Solder the remaining wire to the other end of this resistor. 5. Attach a diode across the terminals. This protects the keyer transistor from any potential spikes from the transmitter. (got this from the Art of Electronics) 6. Thats all there is to it. I placed the resistor and diode right in the case for the phono plug. Use some heat shrink for short protection. This seems to work fine and has not melted my keyer yet. If anyone has any comments on this or improvements please let me know. Finaly, I would like to build a field strength meter. I was thinking that an opamp based circuit would be ideal for this. If anyone can help me with this I would appreciate it. I know I could buy one cheaply, but I would like to build my own. Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions. Please email your answers to lvin@cosmic.physics.utah.edu I will summarize all responces. Thanks again Chris (KB7YOU) ------------------------------ Date: 9 Dec 93 18:44:18 GMT From: pravda.sdsc.edu!usc!elroy.jpl.nasa.gov!swrinde!sgiblab!rtech!ingres!kerry@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Life is too short WITH 2 KW!!!!!

Scratchi was previously totally unknown to me, so I just read what was there. I interpreted it as a commentry on the different interests and viewpoints of different generations. It said that two different generations do not understand each other, and can fail to predict this. It did not seem to attack either generation. I thought there was a strong element of lampooning old fashioned stereotype characterisation. Perhaps Myron's parody is a little too subtle for everyone to recognise it ? Even if he now states his intent, no matter what that intent was, not everyone will believe him. We will never know with certainty. Foreigners and children have the ability to see things, and ask questions that are too fundamental for others to notice (or dare) Cheers David GM4ZNX ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Dec 1993 18:16:20 MST From: pacbell.com!sgiblab!swrinde!elroy.jpl.nasa.gov!usc!math.ohio-state.edu!news.cyberstore.ca!nntp.cs.ubc.ca!alberta!adec23!ve6mgs!usenet@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Weekly Solar Terrestrial Forecast & Review for 10 December To: info-hams@ucsd.edu --- SOLAR TERRESTRIAL FORECAST AND REVIEW --- December 10 to December 19, 1993 Report Released by Solar Terrestrial Dispatch P.O.
