Sennheiser has an "equivalent" to the Sony mentioned above. It is the HD280 PRO. It is considered a studio monitor sort of headphone like the MDR7506. The sound profile is quite similar so it is a goo

I have been known to use the term, but combined with high, as in "High Zoot". I used it to mean advanced/good. or the like. from word reference forums high-zoot = approximately "really cool" From "zoo

Good interview Paul, but your Internet connection there does truly leave much to be desired. I am curious, what service do you use?

I think that Duracell cells have a very spotty track record as of late, anyway. I definitely like rechargeable cells over any alkaline batteries. Especially for anything that does not get cells remove

Just a tip from experience. Alkaline batteries are...well alkaline. I use something acidic when I clean up the mess. Usually some kind of vinegar. But lemon juice also works. Once the bubbling is over

Paul, Eneloops are rated at a minimum of 1900 MAH. Some of their lines are rated higher (min 2200 MAH I believe), but the trade off is that they self discharge a bit faster and do not give as many cyc

I agree about the Eneloops. I have (literally) 18 radios that I keep Eneloops in. 12 of those live mostly in their cases in a drawer. I take those out every 6 months or so and cycle the batteries for

Sorry that I can't recommend where to get parts in Spain. I suppose ordering from the US would be too costly. I could find the place that I ordered the currently recommended variable capacitor if you

Have you checked out any of the construction documents for the various sized FSL the Gary wrote? There are some of them in the files section here under "Antennas and Equipment" (I believe). I think th

Great resource. Thanks. I did not see how the batteries are verified, but it seems they must quote test results as the numbers seem very specific.

I have used these folks. Even called and talked to the owner. He sources his batteries directly from Japan. He also does verification testing. I have bought at least 60 batteries from them and never b

Thanks for doing the testing Steve. It confirms what I have experienced with some of the specific batteries that you tested. It also confirms what I have read and would have expected about the super r

Hello Rémy, I am glad that the cell works for you, but something does not compute. There are a large number of reviews and videos of take downs of cells like this and they all agree that the cells do

Hello Rémy Friess, I became curious whne I saw this 9900 mAh battery so I found some tests by several people. I was curious because I use many 18650 batteries and am always looking for something with

This was posted in the Celestron_AS group. The link is to software that allows one to download content from groups. I haven't checked into it further. " Yahoo groups are closing on December 14th. All

Absolutely no arguments from me on this last bit. But really, I use the meter on the radio to point an antenna, or compare received signal strengths for logging. So an indication of r-f voltage across

Very good and interesting information Richard. Though I have never considered the readouts on my ultralights to achieve metrology grade accuracy. Rather simply a relative indication of signal strength

@Gord Seifert I found this on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/i/182880754190?chn=ps&var=690181186870 1200/46 Litz. It is NOT cheaper, but he allows you to buy in 10 foot increments. For instance 30 feet fo

Thanks to a suggestion by Steve R., I recently picked up a couple of these to swap out the original part on my 7" FSL. https://www.mikeselectronicparts.com/product/384pf-air-variable-capacitor-with-81

Thanks Gary, I thought I read a few months ago that you had some of these. Just a faulty memory I am sure. Steve R. wrote me offline and sent me a link. Thanks Steve!! I ordered a couple of what I thi
