What Is a "VFO" Slide/ windup??%#!??

[@wwest5913]

Always very interesting videos that you do. I have learned a great deal from your information that you share to view. Thanks for all you do.

[@bengibson3453]

I've learned so much from your channel. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and refined skills. Your persistence and refusal to back down, has inspired me in many ways. Keep doin what your doin. I'm staring at a my first Amp. A 1970s golden hooker out of Northern Cali. 1 relay sticks open. Haven't had the stones to tear it down. Wish you weren't so busy! But that's a testament to your position at the top of the pile. Lastly, for 6 months I've been pulling my hair out trying to remember the name of the into track your videos use. Anyone? For my sanity please. BBI got down!!

Otep……. More fire

[@rhoemberg1969]

Big J on the ICom waterfall the come hither VFO signal slide sound you made ! BeeeeeOoooooWwwHhhIiiPpp! 🤣Love that Visual demonstration BBI !

[@bigdog911PAradio]

Blessings to you and yours BBI, happy holidays and a healthy, awesome 2025 BigDog911 The voice of Harrisburg Pennsylvania waving 👋🏿 and gone

I used it for a while but too many other people started as well. Get enough people on air with the vfo slide and starts sounding like a space war/star wars out there lol.

[@FirstLast-vr7es]

A feature so awesome that most people just think your radio is broken if they hear it...

[@iggystim]

Thanks for the lesson!👍

[@AmateurRadio]

If you just switch the Receive radio to upper side band you will hear it without having to inject another carrier. for demo purposes.

[@dougwright9771]

glad to her you back on the air!

[@bblod4896]

Good demonstration Luke, thanks.

If you want am to sound decent on the 7300 you need to trick the ALC. I believe it looks for a -1.5vdc. You can use a 5vdc power supply with a 100K pot and just reverse polarity so your seeing negative dc. Put radio at full output and adjust potentiometer for 20-25watt carrier now your modulation won’t cut out as it does when no negative ALC isn’t present.

Ok...as it's used on a modern PLL rig, it's a noise toy. A noise toy designed to make you sound like you're running a vintage tube set. Before 1970, tube rigs that had 23 channel tunable receivers and 12 channel transmitters were common. As they aged the components' values changed, resulting in the transmitter oscillator taking a few seconds after being keyed to settle on a frequency. Sometimes they would start off-frequency and drift on, and sometimes they would start on frequency and drift off. When that happened it was time to dig through the junk box for another crystal that was better. People who ran Siltronix 1011s had a different problem. These rigs were the same basic design as a Swan, and they were (in)famous for drifting all over the band. I collect and restore the old rigs. Those with separate transmitter oscillators like my Pearce-Simpson Guardian 23 will slide. My Regency Imperial does not. Olson Spotter will slide, Olson Sidebander doesn't. With oldies, it's a crap shoot. But, the VFO slide does make listening interesting.

I’m about to have to see drail again. I want one

[@minibikemadman]

I love the old tube stuff. I have a johnson ranger 2 and a valiant with a hummerlund hq129x rx. Them dow keys are expensive now. I wonder how those slides work on pill boxes on peaks? Do they beat em up?

[@denniswaggoner8056]

From Grant county Or Log hauler You have any use for older base units

[@rocklickranch2804]

Back in the old days when someone close by spotted in on the frequency it sounded just like that.

[@DonDegidio]

Hi Luke, Always great videos. Have you tried an FTdx10? You and the family stay safe.

[@tlrptg]

vfo slide affects communications on other channels. this is why transmitting is disabled till the PLL is perfectly locked. it might be a nice effect, but it's illegal in every country on this planet, and it's punishable by law. as a licensed HAM you should know this.

[@VTX-Live]

Why are you even trying bro

[@bubbasboy]

Cheese eater

[@charlesdunnavant7824]

Thanks for the information brother

[@thomaslonggun2694]

I now consider what most CB’ers say as pure unadulterated entertainment! Another great video you arrogant egotistical maniac!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Have a great one!

[@yellowsnow4512]

Yeeaahh Maahhnnn ..... dig, the fake ones need nobody to key on .. . Better get both kinds installed and never be without !! 2 mode switch authentic/imposter

[@rubengonzales7739]

That was made simple thhhhhhaaaaank you breaker!!

[@almartiniii1541]

Pretty cool. I thought it was an archaic golden eagle thing. Thanks

[@spaceflight1019]

It's not exclusive to Browning transmitters. Old tube sets that use separate oscillators or crystals for receive and transmit will drift when first keyed up. Most of my tube oldies do it.

[@cbGamer481]

mr d-rail is my local cb guy lol

[@cbGamer481]

you called today while i was their lol

[@MrBobbyBX]

CoSign gimmicky! Just like the browning ping. If youve been in the hobby long enough you can pretty much tell a noise toy from the real mccoy. Thanks for this vid!

[@vencentbauer]

Do u have a 7300 ??? If so what do u think about it

[@BoxBuilderIdaho]

I have 3 there a good radio

[@vencentbauer]

@@BoxBuilderIdaho do u want to sell 1 ???

[@JayP7.62]

I love that effect! I forget who it is, but one guy I hear almost everyday on skip has that VFO slide or at least the sound effect and I was wondering how it worked. Only been back into the hobby for a few weeks after a 17 year break. So much more info these days with smart phones instead of only computers and KZbin instead of just forums. So far my only complaint is the radio technician bashing these days. But it seems to mainly revolve around one person that thinks he knows everything there is to know and thinks he’s the only one that can do what he does. Not naming names but I’m sure it’s not hard to figure out if you’re in the hobby and you’re here on KZbin. I don’t think there is one known tech that he hasn’t made a bash video about. Including D-rail. As far as I’m concerned your work should speak for itself. If your work is that good then that’s enough to bring you all the business you can handle. I know there are some “techs” out there that cut limiters out and really don’t know exactly what they’re doing or have all the proper equipment. But making bash videos of every tech you know about is just juvenile and unprofessional. Keep up the good work BBI! Hopefully one day I can do business with you.

Never knew the science behind this . Pretty interesting . 👍

[@445videogates4]

I Love the vfo sound.F DUCKs and their opinions,who cares!bye bye bye

[@gabrielsansar6187]

is it only me who thinks this is the dumbest facility to have....... it might as well fart onto frequency.. at least that would be funny

[@wgdavis5353]

Hi Mr. BBi, I would not talk to anyone with that effect.. Some people call it a VFO Windup, still awful.. A little Browing Ping is all I can take.. ♠W.G.
