Decent Radio
Now that I've finally gotten a decent radio maybe we can QSO out there in the ether someday, I'm in the process of getting my antenna back up in the air and getting a little larger linear so y'all can hear me out in San D. Just bought an RCI 2950 and I'm getting a Texas Star Mod V to drive my 5 pill Texas Star 667V to drive my new Texas Star Sweet 16. If that don't work I'm just gonna have to buy a bigger linear....oh, and a set of beams.

Re: Decent Radio
Sounds like a nice setup. I think you could do without the Mod V, a Ranger 2950 has more than enough wattage to drive the 667V (that 2290 driving transistor in the amp will only take so much input). Maybe after you get it all hooked up you could post a couple pics.

Re: Decent Radio
Love to. You may be right about the Mod V, tho. I figured I try it and if I blow the whole thing up, well...lesson learned.
Thanks for the input and I WILL be sending pics as soon as I get it all together.

Re: Decent Radio
You drive a TS 667 with a Mod-V, into a sweet 16, that's exactly what's going to happen...first the sweet 16's going up in smoke, followed by the 667...
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Re: Decent Radio
See? Y'all are already saving me a small fortune. Thanks for the input. I'm used to blowing things up, but when it comes to my radios...I'd rather not.
