Yikes, I remember once upon a time dialing into various Wizard for Windows systems using a modem and pcAnywhere... I just recycled the Multitech modem I used to use with pCAnywhere for getting into station systems... Playing with Google Remote Desktop at a couple of sites. Another client of mine is...

ferrites on the coax I missed this first time round, and Deep Thought's photo reminded me of it. What's with the ferrites on coax? I get ferrites on signal cables, they get rid of RF where there shouldn't be RF, but I'm having some difficulty understanding why ferrites on a coax? Ferrites on the co...

Been there, done that. FS1 won't do it, but the FS2 will...and it has two video processing chains, so you can do two security cams, or a cam and an Apple TV box using the HDMI in, etc.

Thank you very much Mark...you're a real swell feller.

I also have a pile of EFJ coils to decipher.

A drive-in aficionado I'm acquainted with says some of today's SDR-based car radios will introduce delay, meaning you will have to tolerate lip-flap.

He advised bringing an old boom box for sound, or drive in with a beater with a working car stereo.

I'm no Aero.Air expert, but I did take care of the original Aero.Air DTV, which was basically a Windows PC. It did work well, but it was retired when our TV plant moved to version 2.0 and corporate went a different direction with audio processing. That box took either discrete AES channels or extrac...

My STL-10A book shows the same thing. LM338T on that schematic, but no parts list for that board.

KHOI-FM, an eclectic Class-A station a half-hour north of me in Story City, IA...easily heard in nearby Ames. The full episode may be on Youtube.

Gotta love the matchbook azimuth adjusters...doing it old-school!

Those paralleled resistors in the middle of the cabinet sure look like hell, too.

On the 50-year-old Multronics controller I care for, 120VAC is used for position status. If I recall correctly, the interlock relay closes only when 120V is returned from the contactors at the towers and in the phasor. I wonder if some failure is pulling down the status voltage in day mode. Are the ...

Walter gave me the login credentials a few years ago. I don't know if they were intended for wide distribution. PM me and I'll pass it along.

Not familiar with the David, but check to see what control (pot or software) is used to control pilot injection level. Been bit by that before.

RX1290s have been out of production for some time now; bad capacitors would be my initial suspicion. On the other hand, 1290s are newer than the initial surge of RoHS equipment, so they probably aren't falling victim to the tin whisker failures from lead-free solder. (Nearly all of our original Ter...

screw terminals (I forget what you call them) that accept your audio cabling and plug into a marching male connector with a row of pins which mounts The Phoenix connectors. Why the EasyCrap box can't use XLRs is one of the most annoying features of that box. I have made my clients aware of the Sage...
