Howdy Cor, Welcome to the Forum! It is great to have you here with us. Sorry That we've not responded sooner, but other things have kept us away such as the "Horrid Move of 2014" and the selling of the old place. It sounds like you have been figuring things out which is really the way to do it. Rese...

Howdy WB2WW, The Three Sum is a very hard unit to find. Unfortunately they were discontinued a few years back. They show up on eBay a few times a year, but have not seen them anywhere else. The S3 Fet Multi-Band compressor looks very interesting. It is basically the same thing as the Three Sum but w...

Howdy JJ, We have seen RCA 5751 Tubes branded as Command Series, and we have seen RCA 5751 tubes branded as FAA or CAA tubes, but we have not seen them branded with both the Command and FAA designations on the same tube. The "FAA" designation means "Federal Aviation Administration" made for aircraft...

Howdy JJ, We've noticed that the SDX does have a little quirk in that it will show a SWR and ALC "spike" every now and then. This is just an occasional occurrence and does not happen every time. We know of a few SDX operators that had similar SWR problems as you and found bad coax connectors or coax...

Howdy Y'all, Yes, Still moving the QTH, WOW what a PITA. Now trying to get the old QTH ready to list. Terrific information as always Bill. I might add that the phase reversal is also handy to have in the headphone amplifier for your TX monitor. Reason being is that once the audio chain is set up for...

Howdy Y'all,

Spot on advice and information as always Bill!!
Thanks for posting.
JJ, you will like the SDX more and more as you play with it.
Have Fun!

Howdy BigRadio912, We're glad to have you on the forum!

We don't use any digital equipment here for audio processing, all is analog so unfortunately our information is at a minimum.

There are a few AudioHeads out there using DAW, can Ya'll help out Big Radio912?

Howdy JJ, You have to go into your "Configure JAVA" selection under your JAVA in the Program List of your Start Menu and bring up the JAVA Control Panel. Then select the SECURITY tab and select "Edit Exception Site List" Click the "ADD" button then type in the IP Address of the SDR Webpage, then hit...

Howdy Glenn, The Triple C uses 1/4" TRS Balanced Connectors. The Triple C came in 2 flavors, the Single Channel Version and the Stereo Version. It will be labeled as such on the front panel. The Single Channel version looks like it has 2 inputs and outputs for 2 channels, but 2 of the jacks are for ...

Howdy JJ, Changing a mic capsule will completely change the sonics of a mic, without a doubt. As to how it will perform compared to what you have now, only changing it and listening to the comparative difference will you know. Unfortunately, we've never played around with your mic or the RK47 capsul...

Howdy JJ, Tube rolling is a common practice to change the gain of that stage or for changing sonics. The later has great controversy and opinions and more can be found on this subject of Tube Rolling by searching the interweb. Best thing to do is to try yourself and see if YOU hear a difference. As ...

Howdy JJ, We cannot comment on the capsule changes as we've never had them here to try. The statement on the capacitors is true in our opinion. Polystyrene is the best with Polypropylene second. Tube rolling for gain changes is common practice as is rolling them for different sonics. This subject on...

Howdy Glenn, There could be allot of reasons for this, too many in fact to actually answer your question fully. Unfortunately, we have never had a flex 5k here for comparison testing so we do not know how the TX Monitor is designed, where it takes its sample from, or how it performs compared to the ...

Howdy Dirtyjob,
Great to have you on the forum!!!

We're glad the info helped you out. That's the main reason this forum was created was to build an information database over the years.
Take care,

Howdy Richard, Welcome to the Forum!! Unfortunately, we have never had the opportunity to play around with a Icom 718. We did have a Icom 706Mk2G and changed out the TX Filter to a 2.7Kc. It improved the RX and TX considerably since the stock filter was a 2.4kc. Anyone out there ever played around w...

Howdy JJ, You didn't specify what the negative gain level of the "serious" cut was, but guessing, lets say you made it -20db. You have to realize that at the 1 octave bandwidth, you have a broad curve traveling up and down the frequency spectrum from the deep center frequency -20db cut of 8kc. This ...

Howdy Glenn, We know on the older units that the primary windings of the power transformer had to be wired different to operate on 240VAC. The primary windings were wired in series for 240VAC, and wired in parallel for 120VAC mains. If you bought these new from Rolls/Bellari, you might send them an ...
