I enjoyed your Peeair story, Bruce, I know Don must be rolling over in

grave. (I did like Don's little active (Dymek?) antenna, though, to get
the
WEFAX antenna up and away from the digital noise disaster in the pilot
house)

Yea, Don was one hell of a smart guy, and one World Class Radio
Designer, for his day. I think I still have a Stoner CB around here
somewhere.
Lynn, would you know if Finn Christensen is still working for SGC.
He was the guy who did the orginal design of the N571-575 series
Poweramps, and left Northen just before it was bought by that Guy
from California and moved to Redmond. He went to SGC to help PeeAir
figure out how to build a SS PA for the follow on SSB Radios after the
711.
I kind of lost track of him after Northen went under, and I saw him at
the Bankrupcy Auction.

No, I am not familiar with Finn. I really only know Pierre from
telephone conversations. He would make a sales pitch call once in a while.
And I'd have to try to be polite.

There was a nice 100' Knight-Carver (or was it Carver-Knight?) here
with two of the latest and greatest SGC 24 channel synthesized rigs here.
Owner's full time maintainer said factory techs had installed and tuned them
down in San Diego. One of them worked fairly well, but the other barely
hailed vessels in the same marina. Super Tech, Old Chief Lynn was called
into action. The poor performer's little square box manual tuner was at arms
length in a console cavity. When I finally got the lid off the little
bugger, the tuning jumpers and capacitors were still untouched in their
little plastic bags. Sheesh!

I'm slowly gathering dusty parts for an 866A lit power supply...... I'm
without a rig right now, and never had a store boughten transmitter yet.
Itching to get back on 40 CW before I forget the code. (or there are no CW
operators there).

(is this thread, "30amp 12v circuit", something for filament power?)
