I use filters to divide and conquer this list and besides that, I can easily create dynamic sub-lists if I ever want to search for something particular, such as KX1.

Even my Astron power supplies, my Palstar dummy load, my Palstar tuner, my LP100A, my COMSpkrs are black.

The receiver, an HQ-170AC, was sort of a gray blue color, the transmitter, an Eico 720 has a very shiny aluminum front with meter and black knobs (although the case is black it is not seen in the photo). I have some miscellaneous Heathkit stuff which sports the non-black Heathkit colors. In this photo from 50 years ago, very little is black.

After some checking, I notice that the centre pin of the IF out connector for the TMP cable?on the K144XV PCB was broken.? Re-soldering the broken pin solved the problem.? This may be caused by cable movements in disconnecting the K144xv module for filter installation etc etc.

I use filters to divide and conquer this list and besides that, I can easily create dynamic sub-lists if I ever want to search for something particular, such as KX1.
