Subject: [AMRadio] Gonset G66B Questions
Message-ID: <A46D858B1ED543F98C6A3EEB015E37CB@gx620>

I became the proud father of a Gonset G-66B Rx today when the mail man came. It has attached a power supply on the back, but it had no marking on it ( power supply)
I took the PS off and it has a 12Volt vibrator in it so I presume it IS the 12V only power supply ( it has no multiconductor plug for 117V ), but the only numbers I found on the PS when it is removed is A1986 which is not mentioned in the downloaded manual I have.

Anywho.. before I dive off into this RX are there any "do's and don'ts" about this little rig I need to know? Glen I know you have had some experience with them. 

its a cute little bugger and in quite nice shape cosmetically

There is an Eico 720 on e bay yesterday .. the price was around 200 which I
thought was way out of line so I didn't even look at the listing.. if I run
across it again I'll pass the listing on to you

W1AW/7 worked 250 AM stations on 29.010 last Friday. The station will 
be back on the air tomorrow from 2100Z to 2359Z. This time I'll start 
on 21.420 and if there is not much activity move up to 29.010.

It's generally called a Motorola plug.
Plug is MP-2
Jack is MJ-1
PL259 adapter to Motorola plug is AD-259

See:
http://www.kenselectronics.com/lists/rfca.htm
about half way down the page.
Some auto stores also carry them.
Radio Shack use to carry them.

Hi Mike et al,

I worked Paul also on 15 meters also today with a 5/8 signal.  I bet he 
had that receiver on SSB most of the time as there were so many fellas 
that called him via that mode.  Probably most of them didn't even know 
he was transmitting AM.  But a great way to spread the AM word.  Nice of 
Paul to have done that mode for us.

If it were me, the slopbucket would be unintelligible and I'd say so.
That would probably be the first time a W1AW operator uttered the word
slopbucket on the air.   I imagine they'd yank that call sign away
from me next day.

A few months ago someone posted an audio file called the box. It was recorded from a group of
hams from the 50's or 60's on AM. Does anyone know the URL for this? If you do would you please
post it again.

It's generally called a Motorola plug.
Plug is MP-2
Jack is MJ-1
PL259 adapter to Motorola plug is AD-259

See:
http://www.kenselectronics.com/lists/rfca.htm
about half way down the page.
Some auto stores also carry them.
Radio Shack use to carry them.

Hi Mike et al,

I worked Paul also on 15 meters also today with a 5/8 signal.? I bet he 
had that receiver on SSB most of the time as there were so many fellas 
that called him via that mode.? Probably most of them didn't even know 
he was transmitting AM.? But a great way to spread the AM word.? Nice of 
Paul to have done that mode for us.

If it were me, the slopbucket would be unintelligible and I'd say so.
That would probably be the first time a W1AW operator uttered the word
slopbucket on the air.?  I imagine they'd yank that call sign away
from me next day.

Paul told several of the SSB callers that he was on AM and to switch over
to AM. Some did, and some probably just scratched their head in
wonderment and continued calling on SSB. He had to answer them or they
would have just tied up the frequency with their incessant calling and
calling. I worked Paul a few minutes after he appeared on the frequency
but missed him several days ago on 10 meters due to poor conditions when
I tried to work him.

Anyone have experience with hammer tone paint? Do's n dont's? >>

I once picked up about a  half dozen virgin grey hammer tone rack panels at
a hamfest, each with the protective paper still intact.

 IMO, hammer tone has to be the ugliest finish ever concocted, nothing I
would  want to see on any of my equipment, so I re-painted them all black
wrinkle.  I brushed on a thin coat of liquid stripper AKA "deglosser" over
the original hammer tone finish, just enough to soften the surface and make
it slightly tacky. Then I sprayed on two heavy coats of black wrinkle  and
laid the panels out in the warm afternoon sun. When the wrinkles had
thoroughly formed, I brought the panels back inside to finish drying . The
original hammer tone paint made an excellent primer for the black wrinkle.

I have had good luck with Rust-o-leum hammertone rattle bottles.   The 
finish comes out better (more consistent) if it is only applied to 
horizontal surfaces.   I re-painted a RCA BTA1R1 cabinet with it by 
painting it in four phases, rolling it on its side and painting the 
"top" side, letting that dry, then rolling it for the next side.

Maybe I  have missed something, but what is with the W1AW portable stations
all over the country?

I heard one on 160m SSB  the other night calling CQ. Sounded just like a
contester, with the same frantic voice intonation. I believe it was
recorded, because every little minor voice inflexion was exactly the same
each time he made the call. Not to be interpreted as bashing automated CQ
calls; I use an automated CQ calling system myself on AM, and haven't made a
live CQ call over the air in several years.

I doubt that ARRL has set up their own portable stations nationwide, so it
must  be regular hams operating their own stations, using special call
signs.  I get ARRL Letter via e-mail, as well as QST by snail mail, but I
must have missed the announcement.

Maybe I  have missed something, but what is with the W1AW portable stations
all over the country?

I heard one on 160m SSB  the other night calling CQ. Sounded just like a
contester, with the same frantic voice intonation. I believe it was
recorded, because every little minor voice inflexion was exactly the same
each time he made the call. Not to be interpreted as bashing automated CQ
calls; I use an automated CQ calling system myself on AM, and haven't made a
live CQ call over the air in several years.

Subject: [AMRadio] Voltage check please
Message-ID: <1394229445.79263.YahooMailBasic@web160606.mail.bf1.yahoo.com>

I need another lucky Heath Apache owner to check a voltage for me when the opportunity arises.  The manual calls for 360V on the screens of the EL34's and throughout the TX for low B+.  In the process of repairing the modulator, I found mine to be about 250V.  If I unload the power supply, I get 350V, when I hook the load to it and it only draws about 15MA in STBY, it drops to 250V.  The TX operates fine, tunes up with no issues, full power out, no ripple on the carrier.  Is this  60 year old typo and it should show 250V?  The LV xfmr is 300-0-300, the rect is full wave and the filter is cap input with a choke, so theoretically, this PS under load should not give 360V out.

After finding this TX in  a drainage ditch in SC and repairing it's issues, it has given me good service for over 21 years.  Perhaps it is starting to get cantakerous in it's old age.

Charlie, are you sure of the voltage?  I use an RCA WV 98(X) and sometimes 
make the mistake of failing to switch the probe from AC/Ohms to DC.  The 
short answer is I fail to make accurate measurements, but I claim the excuse 
of old age.

Hi Charlie,

With a capacitor input pi filter the voltage should be around 350 to 360
volts with full load. If it is dropping lower I would suspect that the input
filter capacitor is bad or the rectifier is weak.

250 volts is indicative of a choke input filter on a 300 volt transformer.

I usually use .9x rms with choke input and 1.25x rms for capacitor input
filter. That gets you in the ball park.

Well, the 20ufd section of the cap filter went open, seen them short, blow up, get hot and boil, but just plain ol' dead open are few and far between for me.  Got a bit fooled since I read the cap kick with both caps hooked to the choke and thought both sections were good, not resistive or shorted. The back half of the filter, the 40ufd section was fine, so my PS went from cap input to choke input and put out a nice clean 250VDC.  Apparently it's failure coincided with my modulator going south, and nice to know that the Apache runs just fine on 250v low B+ after resetting the mod bias, but replacing the cap and going back to the normal 360v to be Heath correct.  Thanks for the input fellers.

Subject: [AMRadio] WTT: Command Set XMTR carcass for ???
Message-ID: <531C910F.1020201@securespeed.us>

I'm looking for the cabinet and covers for a Command Set transmitter, 
because it is the right size and shape for a planned project.

I don't need any of the internal parts, and as long as the chassis 
aprons and covers are in reasonable shape without any extra large ugly 
holes it will serve my purpose. Large ugly extra holes on the front of 
the XMTR or top of chassis are OK because I will be fabricating new 
plates that will cover these surfaces. Either the ARC-5 or BC- series of 
transmitters are OK. The Command Set receivers are too small for this 
project.

Someone out there must have a well-hacked, beyond-restoration unit in 
their junque box.

Will trade for parts or tubes of approximate equal value (preferred - I 
have a well-stocked junquebox), or am willing to pay $10 plus postage 
for a unit meeting the above description.

Please reply directly (not through the lists).

Message-ID: <53208491.6060209@gmail.com>


Wanted: Icom BP-90 "Empty" Battery Case

I am looking for an Icom BP-90 battery case.
This takes six AA cells, and is used on a variety
of Icom HTs, including the IC- 2SAT, 3SAT, 24AT,
W2/A, 2SRA, 4SRA, R1, and others.

Do you have one in good usable condition?

Yaesu VX-5 R tri-band HT:

The VX-5 will cover the 6m, 2m, and 440 MHz ham bands,
with receive almost from DC to light. Actually receive
starts at the AM broadcast band, and goes to about 1000
MHz, so that means it includes all of the public service
bands outside of the ham bands, weather, FM commercial,
commercial TV, SW bands, and much more.

It provides 5 watts out on 6M and 2M and 4.5 watts on 440 MHz,
at three power levels.

Features include 16 digit 9 memory DTMF autodialer, CTCSS/DCS,
220 memories, aluminum die-cast case and 8 character alphanumeric
display. It is a compact 2.3 x 3.4 x 1.1 inches.

To say that this is better quality and has more features than the
Chinese HTs would be an understatement!

This particular unit works 100%, and is in very nice condition.
It includes charger, a good Lithium Ion battery, rubber duck with
the 6 meter extension, and paper work for $145.


Realistic HTX-212 Two Meter FM Transceiver:

The HTX-212 is a 45 watt (10 watt low power) 2 meter FM

offsets, subaudible tone on both transmit and receive,
DTMF paging, dual VFOs, and receive coverage from 136
to 174 MHz, among many other features.

This particular rig functions perfectly, and looks very nice.

Power cord, DTMF Touch tone mic with up/down switches,
mobile bracket, and paper work are all included for $80.


Two position "Strip Line" Coax Switches:

These switches utilize professionally engineered all
metal cavity construction for maximum efficiency and
high isolation. Isolation is typically better than
50 dB at 300 MHz with insertion loss less than 0.2 dB.
All are two position and use SO-239 connectors, are
50 ohm impedance, are typically rated for 2.5 KW PEP,
and good to 600 MHz.

All work fine and look extremely nice.

The MH-15 c6 is a hand microphone that features a 16 digit
DTMF Touch Tone Pad on the back, along with a lock/unlock
switch. The top has up/down buttons. Of course the PTT
is on the side. This one presently has the round 6 pin
connector, which can be changed of course.
It works fine and looks close to new. $40

CES 810 L DTMF Mic
One can manually dial a number, or automatically store it in
the mic, and "speed dial". It has a 12 digit touch tone pad
on the front. With 8 pin modular plug (like computer LAN).
It looks to be unused. $38

Johnson 250-0761-010 / CES 655 L DTMF Mic

With paper work for $80.

Adapters from Type N connector to PL-259.  $8 each


Heath Wattmeter/SWR Bridge:

Heath HM-2102 VHF Wattmeter/SWR Bridge:
The HM-2102 is similar to the HM-102, but covers
50 to 160 MHz., with 250 and 25 watt scales. It can
also be used to check SWR, and has a remote sensor
that can either be left inside the meter, or separated
from the actual meter. SO-239 connectors in and out.

This one is about 4 inches square but only about 2 inches
deep. It is rated for 5 watts, has an 8 ohm impedance, and
is listed as a 300 to 3000 Hz frequency response, making it
ideal for communications. 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) mono plug. It
is black in color, looks great, and sounds great. $18

Vanco SPB-5
Appears to be the same at above, but with a Vanco label.
Also includes gimbal mount. $15

Vanco SPB-6
Similar to SPB-5 above, but is considered a noise
cancelling speaker. 10 Watt rating. Still in original
box, new. $18


Icom BC-72 A Desk Charger:

The Icom BC-72 A is a desk charger that will "fast charge"
the BP-81 thru BP-85 battery packs used in the Icom "S"
series of HTs. It does this in about an hour.

This charger operates from 13 V DC with the supplied wall
wart, but it can also be used with a CP-12 DC cable from
a cigarette lighter, or other source of 13 V DC.

This particular unit works fine and is still in its
original box. Of course paper work is included for $25.


12 Amp Regulated Power Supply:

This is a very nice 13.8 Volt DC power supply, rated
at 12 amps ICAS. It says "U/VHF Power Supply" on it,
but I can not find a manufacturer name.
It appears to be very rugged.

It has over voltage protection, which is adjustable,
as well as adjustable output voltage, which is very
well regulated at 13.8 Volts.

It has a lighted voltmeter on the front, and output
connections on both the front and rear.

This is obviously more than enough current for most
2 meter and 440 MHz rigs.

It works fine and looks fine. $50


10 amp, 13 V DC, Power Supply:

The Stabylex Electronics Corp., model 10 SR
power supply has automatic short circuit protection,
and a very large heat sink.

A 10 amp rating is ideal for most 2 meter and
dual band rigs.

This one works fine and looks great also. $35


Low Pass TVI Filter:

A low pass TVI filter is added to the transmitter to reduce
harmonic interference. All have SO-239 connectors, and are
50 ohm filters.

Drake TV-5200-LP Low pass TVI filter
This is the filter that may also be used on the low end of six
meters, as well as HF. It is good for 1000 Watts "average" below
30MHz, and about 200 W up to 52 MHz. It is the newer version
of the TV-1000. $30


VX-7 Nifty Mini Manual
A pocket reference to all of those commands that no one
remembers! For the VX-7.  Spiral bound.  $18


Scanners:


Regency Touch K100 Scanner:

The Regency Touch K100 is a programmable scanner that
covers the low VHF, Hi VHF, and UHF frequencies. Of
course this means it covers weather frequencies. It
has battery back up of the programmed frequencies and
also will do searches.

Reminder: The Annual AM Transmitter Rally is This Weekend, Saturday 
March 15th starting at 6:00 AM EDST and running through Monday March 
17th at 2:00AM EDST (that's 11:00 PM PDST on March 16th).

The first prize is a real nice, customized wood framed wall clock 
with YOUR CALLSIGN (or callsigns if you use a special events call 
during the event), the year you won, etc. etc. Other winners - 2nd 
and 3rd place, and all category 1st place winners will receive 
certificates with the call sign(s), and year of the event, etc.

It is fun and easy to participate in this event, and we have even 
created a custom logging program to really make it simple to keep and 
upload a log.

The software is located here: 
<http://www.classeradio.com/amtrlog.htm>http://www.classeradio.com/amtrlog.htm.

The main Rally web site with complete rules, etc. is located at 
<http://www.amrally.com/>http://www.amrally.com

This is a great, once a year event, and with the high bands being 
open, we should see a lot of good AM DX contacts, in addition to the 
many contacts that are made on 160, 80 and 40 meters.

See you then!

I suspect numerous frequencies are active on multiple bands, Roger. Depends
what bands are open to your location. 10 & 15 have been pretty hot lately.

Flip the rig on, pick a band, listen around. If all else fails, throw out a
CQ.

Was an awfully nice day here in 4 Land, sunny and temps in the 70s. I
suspect others had a good wx day too. With the winter we've had it's hard
to justify staying in the house on a day like this. After I grill up dinner
and get the little one to bed I should finally have a little time to fire
up the station. Been a busy day of Honey-doos here, though I did manage to
squeeze in a trash run and haircut.

Hope to work you later  -

Have not been able to find an answer to this, maybe someone knows here.  When did civil aviation move off HF and on to VHF?  I'm currently looking at a couple antique low power aircraft radios that are obviously HF and convertible to 75 meters.

I need a copy of the schematic and parts list for a NC 183D.  The needed one will be from ER 436 or greater.  That number will be on the rear manual cover on the right bottom corner.

If you have a manual that is of that vintage and can copy the parts list and schematic, I would appreciate it and pay costs to copy and mail.  The diagram is 8 X 17 and if that is all you have that will be fine also.

Message-ID: <BLU184-W7411B438FF15099B569C17A0610@phx.gbl>

Folks,
 
I'm involved in a discussion with the Editor and the Senior Assistant Technical Editor of QST and the author about the article published in the April issue of QST, "Crystal Phasing."  I've tried the procedure outlined in the article under "Adjusting the Crystal Resonator Filter," and I've not been able to make it work.  I've written up an alternate procedure that I believe will work on any receiver of any make  that uses a vintage crystal filter.  
 
I need some volunteers to try both procedures.  It is entirely possible that I'm mistaken about the QST procedure, and I'd like to know that if I am.  I'd also like to know if my procedure works, and I'd appreciate suggestions about how to make it better.  It may eventually show up as a Technical Note in QST if the folks there can be convinced that there is a problem with the one that they published.  
 
If you have a receiver with a vintage crystal filter, any make, and you would be willing to spend a little time trying out these two procedures, please let me know.  I will respond with an email containing a copy of the QST article and a copy of my proposed procedure.  I will report your results, whatever they may be, to the folks at QST.  
 
Thanks very much,
 
Jim Hanlon, W8KGI

I tried Eric's procedure on my CR88.  It didn't work out exactly the
way I expected, but I wrote it off to the variety of vintage
receivers, and the possibility that RCA did things a bit differently
with the AR88 series.   I planned to try it again on my 75A-3 but have
not gotten around to it yet.  Eric used a SX25 as one of his receivers
as I recall.

It is important to point out that he refers readers to their receiver
manual first.   He also writes that his procedure will work with
_nearly_ any "XTAL PHASING equipped radio" emphasis on "nearly."

The first thing not completely clear to some people is the part about
centering the BFO:  "Rotate the BFO through its range.  The pitch of
the noise at either extreme should be the same."    I bet "range" is
interpreted as 180 degrees (90 degrees each side off center top) by
some and 360 degrees by others.

He starts out having readers tune to a broadcast station but ends up
with a CW audio note.  Somewhere along the way there is a transition
from one to the other but it isn't clear.  The end of the section
seems to involve tuning and the BFO and nothing about the xtal phasing
control.   I think part of my problem is that the section seemed to be
written for receivers with band spread but a ham band only rx or any
gen.gov. with just one tuning control ought to be the same.
I probably rushed through it in the evening when I was tired and in a
hurry and it is something that I have to think about first.

I criticize QST quite often but I also make compliments when the
occasion warrants it and I give credit to QST for publishing something
about vintage gear.  At least they are trying.   With K2TQN no longer
writing the vintage radio column, they had a guest column, or
temporary fill-in column about the DX60.   I hope they keep it going.

Hi Jim,
I would like to participate in your effort.  I have a 51J4. I know that
something is not right about the way the crystal filter is operating so your
effort is motivating me to get to it and see if an alignment will fix the
problem. It's one of the few receivers that has both a crystal filter and
mechanical filters. I would be more than interested and willing to align it
per the Collins procedure, QST's recently published procedure, and the one
you've developed.  
Thanks for your extra efforts!
73,
Chris

Subject: [AMRadio] Crystal Filter adjustment procedures

Folks,
 
I'm involved in a discussion with the Editor and the Senior Assistant
Technical Editor of QST and the author about the article published in the
April issue of QST, "Crystal Phasing."  I've tried the procedure outlined in
the article under "Adjusting the Crystal Resonator Filter," and I've not
been able to make it work.  I've written up an alternate procedure that I
believe will work on any receiver of any make  that uses a vintage crystal
filter.  
 
I need some volunteers to try both procedures.  It is entirely possible that
I'm mistaken about the QST procedure, and I'd like to know that if I am.
I'd also like to know if my procedure works, and I'd appreciate suggestions
about how to make it better.  It may eventually show up as a Technical Note
in QST if the folks there can be convinced that there is a problem with the
one that they published.  
 
If you have a receiver with a vintage crystal filter, any make, and you
would be willing to spend a little time trying out these two procedures,
please let me know.  I will respond with an email containing a copy of the
QST article and a copy of my proposed procedure.  I will report your
results, whatever they may be, to the folks at QST.  
 
Thanks very much,
 
Jim Hanlon, W8KGI

James,

I would also like to take part.

You know the radio well.  It is the HRO-50-T1.

I do have the National Manual, and it's procedure for doing this.

I wish to do this to obtain maximum performance from the Crystal Phasing 
Module in the HRO.

Regards,
Bob - N0DGN

Please see the email below sent to me by my contact at qsl.net in response
to some questions I had about the AMRadio list unsubscribing several people
over the last several weeks.  The email list is built where it will remove
you after so many bounced emails to your email account.  If you get
unsubscribed in the future for no apparent reason, I suggest you try
another email provider such as gmail, and others...

Microsoft keeps blocking our mail... we keep asking them to unblock and
asking them WHY... they reply by unblocking, but they never tell us WHY...
we have done this "dance" repeatedly over the last couple weeks.

Sadly, about all I can tell you is to have these people complain to
Microsoft, or consider getting an email account with a provider that cares
about its users.

Years ago I had to switch my list membership from my Hotmail account to my
ISP account because the server would no longer accept my posts using
Hotmail. Then, about a year ago posts from my ISP account started bouncing
because they "looked like SPAM".   I think Jim tweaked something so they
would get through, but he said that might create some new problems, I forget
what, maybe a time delay, but it's worked fine ever since. 

Sometimes ePay won't let me view certain items, usually military surplus,
saying that importation of those items into "my country" may violate local
laws, so they have blocked access, even though I am located in the middle of
the USA and the items for sale were of USA origin. A few months ago it
wouldn't  let me view the listing for a BC-610. I tried to contact ePay to
find out what the problem was, but never could get them to  respond to my
query. I suppose they think I'm a terrorist or something. I can get around
it by using my wife's log-in on the computer, and I rarely do business via
ePay anyway.
