Re: Kenwood TS-850S....ETC....
Filters and oscillators are nice, but with the TS-850S the most important factor is the DDS ICs. Does it have the old ones? If so, it's a parts radio. Those ICs are known to fail, and there are no more available. Always include the status of those when dealing with a TS-850S.

Re: Re Ken Simpson W8EK
If someone is buying and selling to make a profit, they should be advertising, not using classified ads. A lot of the wheeler-dealers use the "doing it for the SK families" excuse. If they give ALL of the proceeds to the family, I have no problem if they are using classifieds. But if they are keepin...

Re: PayPal Fee Upcharging is ILLEGAL!!
So, since I don't use Paypal, I'm supposed to pay a higher price to support their monopoly marketing scheme? Not happening. If someone wants the same price without using Paypal, that to me is dishonest by charging me for something I don't use. "While the fees are rather high (2.9%), using Paypal doe...

Re: Shipping to PO Box
My second home is also where there is no mail delivery so a PO Box is mandatory if I want mail. UPS and FedEx don't even deliver due to many not having street address numbers and some really bad roads. This is a remote area on Maui, but I know of a few places in Oregon that are the same way. I've he...

Re: Rotatable Dipole - Gamma Match
The match will be set to the antennas impedance, usually 10-20 ohms or so. Using it directly will get you pretty high vswr. You might be able to adjust it to work for you. Adjust the sleeve in and out, and separately the clamp where it attaches to the element. You may need to shorten or lengthen the...

Re: SignaLink USB
It sounds like the output of the Signalink audio is way too high. Check the jumper inside. It may be set for high level output.
If that doesn't help, you might be able to turn the audio in down at the radio. You can also try at the computer, but setting it low there increases noise.

Re: PayPal Fee Upcharging is ILLEGAL!!
Paypal fee charging is NOT "Illegal". Illegal means against criminal law. There is no law regarding paypal fees.
At the most, it is a minor breach of contract, which is a civil matter.

Re: SOUTH AFRICAN CROOK
That's a pretty obvious scam attempt! Some of them are real idiots.

Absolutely! If there's no price or picture, I wonder what they are hiding and won't go near it.KW4HKY wrote:No picture, no price (unless it's a trade) I don't even bother.
