TN Dept of Education is reporting that statewide there were over 22 teachers caught drinking on the job yesterday alone... Homeschooling huh? hahah. ** currently hundreds of parents are discovering the Teacher wasn't the problem... :lol: OMG! My regular 8-to-4 is I.T. support in the K-12 education ...

While I'll do pro-bono or "giveaway" work on occasion I'll gauge my rate on how easy / difficult it is to work with a station and its staff. Some places have taken care of my with kit gloves, even after paying me they'd give me goodies from the prize locker or do some other appreciative gesture. Som...

Remember, Orban Labs isn't the Orban we all once loved! If my last service runaround I got from DaySequerra (who now owns Orban) is any way to judge you may find it less of a hassle to just replace it with a Wheatstone or Omnia! They had an M2 monitor of mine for three months and it was still screwe...

I looked in my parts pile, I must have discarded the front panel.

I actually replaced the front panel of a 323A a number of years ago. I'll look in my storage to see if I kept it or not. If it's still there you can have it for postage. I just replaced it as it wasn't pristine and I wanted it in a publicly facing rack.

Surprise, as M$ usually has Patch Tuesday as the second Tuesday of the month. Most of mine are controlled on a WSUS setup so we only push updates once they're known to be bug free.

Wonder if it was really related to an update or you have something play merry-go-round on your network.

Any luck, Jim? I have a manual somewhere that I'd be glad to scan but I'd need a way to spot the older version from the current version.

If I recall, I believe Jim was kind enough to share his thoughts in the past on my Part 15 radio forum, HobbyBroadcaster.net. Something I've learned over time is that many think they don't need to comply with Part 15 regs and some of the very same would likely cause a mess on the AM band if they wer...

Likely a much safer bet would be to get something along the lines of a Eaton ATS rack PDU AC transfer switch and connect the inputs to two different 120vac circuits. Then you can connect your UPS to the output of it, so the UPS will only be used if both AC circuits failed. It's probable that if two ...

Here's hoping everyone had an enjoyable and relatively uneventful celebration with friends and family ... and no calls from "Ms. Burk"

@Jim: My FMS-2 and FMM-2 are set to rest on the lowest part of the scale. I replaced the meters on my FMS-2 years ago due to faded scales and the screw adjustment was all I needed to get the movement in the proper position at rest.

I was saddened to discover this morning that broadcast engineer Lane Lindstrom (Virtual Engineer forum member Radiolanes) passed away yesterday due to Sarcoma, which apparently he beat once but returned with a vengeance. Lane was a broadcast engineer in the central Illinois area. I was fortunate eno...

I remember seeing it in an old Gates manual for one of their exciters. If I happen across it I'll do a scan and post.

Reminds me of the Aphex 320a Compellor manual which the first version had schematics and they pulled them with every revision afterwards.

Hopefully someone will happen across the schematic for the 401 for you, Chuck.

I had a scan of the manual but can't find it at the moment. Perhaps the 400 schematic would be close enough to help in troubleshooting:
