The stock VX-6R will not transmit outside the ham bands. If you've modifiied it in some way so it will, the operating manual on page 34 tells you how to do...
Ham Radio Wizards, I have understood the theory of ground loop hum, but have not had much luck in the practical application of the theory. (Other than running...

Don, I think I would check the ps by using a VOM and set it for AC and see if you have some from the ps. I'm no technical guy either, but maybe that would show...

... I wondered about the power supply, too. Checking for AC voltage on its output, especially as you vary the load on the power supply, might reveal that the...
I would buy some snap on chokes, and put two or three on that serial cable. ... From: Don West To: IndyHamRadio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, April 01, 2007...
Hi Bob, Thanks for the advise. If I still have the hum even if the PS is disconnected from the KAM and the serial cable is connected, but it goes away if I...
Hi Mike, Thanks for the advise. I have not detectible voltage from the RF Ground to the AC ground. I do, however have some small ohm reading. The KAM is...

I have a new VX-150 5-watt 2m FM HT for sale. It has never been taken out of the box so it is just like buying new from a dealer with warranty card intact. ...

Take a wire 246 feet long, divide it in the middle and feed it with ladder line. Raise it as high, and as flat as possible. Run the ladder line to a tuner...
Hi Bob, It is a 35 amp Pyramid. I do not get any hum on TX when the radio is disconnected from the KAM or when the KAM is disconnected from the computer. I...
Yes, that is a good antenna. I have used dipoles around 130feet (in length) or so fed with twin lead for years. I didn't care for it on the higher bands, but...

Don, Sounds like a ground loop to me.....I bet the KAM is ran from a wall wart power supply that, because it's a transformer, doesn't have a ground pin on its...
