Hi, I know the video is a few years old but could you tell me what transistor you used to replace the driver? According to the schematic it is a MRF450 but it sounds strange to me since the data sheet for it indicates that it is for 30Mhz. If you remember it I would appreciate it. Regards.
@Sky13 күн бұрын
that frequency is what was used for the ratings. It operates VHF just fine. I opened it up to confirm and yes it is an MRF-450 with the Motorola Logo

@@Sky1 I am really grateful for the information you have given me. I am repairing a client's equipment which is actually a Mirage B215, I have looked for the schematic everywhere but I have not been able to find it. I downloaded as many schematics and interior photos of Mirage linear units as I have found and the most similar one is the B1016. The client's equipment blew up due to excessive input power, the driver that was installed is a MRF240A, I have bought a new one, I have installed it but it seems to be a fake. I will try to get a MRF450 then, I hope to have better luck. Regards,

Only issue to address is cover the burner with a ziplock! Water intrusion in the lower tubing can cause particles of food, rust or fat to enter the burner gas ports. Thus causing blockage or corrosion in the gas plentium. AND if water is forced in, and you are in freeze zones and just let it air dry only, water pooled in lower burner head can crack the gas line. Always fire er up!! Great video!!
@Sky1Ай бұрын
That happened with my old gas grill, this one I put the wood in a cast iron skillet, the wood smokes slower and does not make a mess on the plenum. Good Tip!
great video. It doesn't make sense that he was targeting you when your detector came on becasue you were already so close and had slowed down. So he must have been aiming at the person behind you and it triggered your detector. I guess there is a small chance that a pure LIDAR detector could give your some headsup if highway patrol targeted a car ahead of you.

Your right, I think he was targeting the Orange Challenger who was to the left of me. My 3 ALP Front Heads cover a wide area pretty sure it shields the cars next to me as well

If you are use more batteries in a device, they will not discharge in the same way, depending on the resistance of the battery, the capacitance, and type of connection (serial or parallel). Then it should be preferable to discharge all the batteries before a new charge, otherwise you will face battery memory effect, that should not permit you to USA all the power of the batteries.

Each battery has a seperate chamnel, some can be charging while others are discharging. Each runs its own cycle
