Hi there, Im researching a cheap method to test if my home air purifier with ioniser is working, as in the -ion generator component. Do you think this kit would help?

Hi! Do you know if 15m band dipole works for another bands too? I mean, because of the harmonics. I planning to build a dipole, but I would like to use for more than one band.

I really will have to get a 125xlt, Im trying to bring a Realstic 2006 back to life at the moment I'm even renewing the backlight to it. I had one in the 80's and loved it but these Bearcats look very decent bits of kit.

Nice Dom. As you know, I've been using Molotow liquid chrome pens for exactly this for a while now. My toppest, most tippety-top-top-tip is to dispense a little of the ink onto a disposable surface, and use a superfine bristle brush, smaller the better, for applying it. Any pressure at all otherwise on the pen nib results in an unwanted pool of shiny... ask me how I know...

One Admiral could control all the weapon platforms in any unit connected to the system...remotely...no need to transmit an order to another ship and wait for them to fire...he could pick a target and pick a ship with the weapon best suited for it... and trigger the launch from his station ... Im jealous....

The SMA to bnc adapter sits flush to the radio. The T-piece takes up the strain, not that there is much strain.

Ive uploaded a video on this showing how the memory works. Always defaults to 145.000 when switched on when the power has been removed.

Not yet. We don't get many thunder storms here. It does pick up static from the carpet though. I'll put a miliamp meter on it at some point and video the results.

Shame it takes such a long , long time to charge up 12 hrs Maybe using DURACELL ULTRA or ULTIMA batteries might be a far better idea to use on holiday or if you can be bothered waiting this boring length of time fine charge it up from about 6 pm night before till after breakfast (9 am) next day. But, length of running time on batteries average is not known. But, be great to know a estimate running time or someone to a running test one on the original rechargeable & another on the DURACELLS & let us all know which is best. ( i say personally Duracells ) but, that's just my own personal opinion. I am sure someone can do these two test. As i really think this is my next added radio kit but, i need to be more certain.
@driverfilmsshortwavechannel
Original batteries will last roughly 5 hours. Not done a test on other batteries. Probably would be better to have back up batteries and charge them on a battery charger.
