Me gustaría haser el mio con ayuda de usted amigo me interesa solo en 26 a28 mhz ya que yo no uso otras bandas solo 11 metros

Thats a cool ruler! Where you get it?

WoW! That’s Tremendously Awesome! Have an incredible weekend! 🤩❤️✨

Zipcord power cords aren't cheap anymore, such as is on this. They're about $7-$8, where years ago, when I was a young man in the TV repair business, you could buy them for about a dollar and in bulk lots. I wonder where all those old TV cheater cords went that were on the shelves? By the way, you can get a .02 uF ceramic at higher tolerance to go with the 200 pF mica, but since they're only using 1% resistors with them, they'll probably only be about that rating. The parts list doesn't state the tolerance of either cap. Plus, you can use a standard with these meters, like a GenRad, which are generally large mica caps, but the best you'll find is only around 0.1%.

I have same radio. I now can not get any stations below 950 am. FM works perfectly. I only get sound but no stations.

Hi Michael, what budget RFpower amplifier do you recommend to use with the (tr)uSDX? I've heard you can get one with filters to avoid making a mess on the band but I don't know anything else about it, I think it provides an output of about 40W. Thanks. 73's. LW3EOV. M6BGG

Cool! Enjoyed meeting you Michael and getting a chance to interview you about your Ham radio. The video should be Live on my channel in about the next 30 minutes. God bless you brother. We sure appreciate your ability to help out when the power goes down or a natural disaster.

awwwwwwww love you daddy

No matter what its important to keep making and using radios like this for emergencies and to also keep in touch with each other

very nice activation, what means US4509? god bless USA from Vienna

cool video

Did she get on the radio?

I found this in my grandmas closet while helping her move, she was gonna donate it to goodwill and said I could have it. So I got it. I am very young and this model came out the same year my mother was born. It still works, but I have trouble going from 106 to 106.1

Hey Michael. Thanks for the video. Im trying to get my hi band board to work, and you got me going in the right direction. Im 35.1 miles @ 284° from you. (Aprs) Think I'll try the aspirin trick.73 John

Buddy thank you a million for uploading this vid, I just got one and couldn't find a whole lot about em. Appreciate you good buddy de N1RIP 73! Liked and subbed!

Hola!! Do you now if the internal tuve is 12AU7? Thanks You very mucho!!!

I'm unable to see L4 series what to do??

That wind was screaming! Beautiful little park. Great job guys!

by far the coldest activation ive ever been on. The wind was terrible..!

Nice belly shot 😂

I subscribed! Great Activation, Michael!

Great job, Michael! It’s great to see you.

Good job there eastern standard time!

Didn’t know you ran an 857 too

Hi

Kilo echo four eastern standard time is a great operator. Fun hunting you. Can't wait to activate another park with you

No battery leakage for 50 years, but you soon will with that friggin Duraleak battery. Bad on you, Michael.

Going through my junk box and found mine from 1994-1278B DSP; cables, manual, and all…except the software. I ran Amtor, RTTY, and Pactor with it. Loved it. Over the last year, I’ve gotten into APRS and now WinLink. Reckon the old box is still useable? I run either a Kenwood TMV71A or TMD710A. Whaddaya think? DE Scobie, AC4GM.

I just fixed one of these myself but mine was in worse shape than yours but funny enough the Vernier pot was also stuck on mine but it was not that hard to get lose again. my 6BQ7 was cracked too and I had no replacement so I had to figure out a suitable substitute for it, all sockets were bad and a ton of resistors had drifted way past value, case had impact damage etc. I managed to find some decent schematics but in the end I just used common sense and did the work without them and it works pretty much perfect now

I have the MFJ 1278 B DSP but i don't understand how Connect the microphone jack to the decametric set. There is a wire with a 3.5mm jack plug coming out of the mic jack. Where will this plug plug be plugged in? Behind the TRX or behind the MFJ?

hey thanks for this video! it helped a ton in figuring out how to go about restoring my IO-17, as you said, you couldn't find a manual; neither could i! closest i got was one in German. anywho thanks again!

I ordered one from Amazon. The outer box was plastered with stock 2:43 ID labels. Kinda ruined the collector vibe it had.

I have that radio. I used a chrome pen to restore the bright silver on the front. Looks new now. The panel around the dials is aluminum and will dent.

I usually burn the coating off with the soldering iron. When the wire is too thick I use a carpet knife. Mine ran on rx right away. However, the swr was huge. After much fiddling with the swr cores I finally found out that my load was not 50 Ohms and the bad swr was correct. The pcb material is excellent. What surprised me most was the harmonic suppression. On 80m about -48dB and then from band to band lower down to -55dB on 20m, my highest band in this rig. Thanks for your video!

My husband just bought one of these for me at an online auction! So cool to see that it can be fixed up if need be. We pick it up tomorrow-can't wait! Thank you for your videos!❤📻🎙🎚🎛

Thanks for the info 👍 😊

31March 1980 production date ?

Hi ! Good job there ! But I dont have the menu pasword and I did not find the firmware for free . Only to USB it can pe flashed thhis crap :(

One of the greatest radios ever. It was great dxing with this receiver back in the early 80s. Legendary.

Top job on this & I thank you. Yes, Mr. Carlson has a lot to answer for! I saw his resto & just had to rush out in a buying frenzy... I secured the same model (same livery too) which was in excellent condition apart for a red jewel pilot lite someone fitted on the top LHS. I kinda get why they did it but it sort-of wrecks the layout balance. At least they used a proper Heathkit jewel. I also carried out the Carlson mod for the volume control.... still wondering how the designer overlooked this. Thanx again & merry Christmas:)

How about a pencil torch?

I found one of those at a garage sale for $10, completely made my day. Just a really nice reasonably compact piece of gear. Mine was little hinky at first, but I replaced the .1 uf bumblebee caps and it came right to life. The only shortcoming of this piece is the lack of a bias supply, but I made one on a small chassis using a backwards filament transformer running off the 12.6 volt heater supply with an 0A2 gas reg tube crammed in there and it works great. I haven't replaced the electrolytics yet, but if I do, I will do exactly what you did with the PC-mount e-caps on some terminal strips or a parts board, $10 worth of caps and back in business.

No part 2?

Turns out that this IM-102 is Heathkit's copy of the Weston model 1240 DMM; both companies were under the same ownership at the time. The 1240 also uses the same round heatsink.

Years ago, I bought my 1st PSU - Elenco XP-625. New to electronics, I tried it on several devices as a PSU. It has killed EVERYTHING I have ever connected to it! :D 7yrs later, I'm thinking of ripping it apart to see if it was simply defective (DOA). Thx for your vid. Beware of these unfiltered/unregulated "magic smokers". Recently, I connected a ZK-4KX DC Buck Boost Converter Module to it to act as a controller, and after about 30secs, drawing no current, it blew a 470uF 35v electrolytic cap in the Converter! So, I've named it "Killer". Thx for your vid.

Great video. The HP the made this instrument was a great brand. It's sad that HP now only makes plastic disposable printers that suck you into their ink scam.

Both of my IM-102's have that same round finned heatsink, so I think that must be as Heathkit designed it.

Thats a nice RF signal generator.

Thanks for helpful video

Good job Michael.
