    Radio Joe replied to the topic Allied Radio Broadcaster in the forum Transmitter Talk 8 months, 2 weeks ago

Thank you so very much for letting me see my mistake. Never too old to learn! thank you for the excellent explanation, i do have a good scope, so ill see what…[Read more]

    Hi Neil, good to hear from you,

    On the hum problem, no not really, all I know if you pull the main breaker and run the transmitter on a battery you get a clear signal.

    I read all the on line posts here and elsewere, when I researched the problem, and did a lot of experimenting.

    I have an outside vertical antenna and one horizontal in the attic,…[Read more]

    Hi Mark ,

    Well I know my station(s) has at least has one listener…and like the song, “its 5 o’clock somewhere”, I am  sure the possibility exists within a 1/4 mile  of my antenna, there may be another listener out there somewhere also, if the noise level don’t eat the signal up before it leaves the house.Its nice to dream though.

    Radio Pros!

    Hello from Radio Joe,

    On the subject:

    All it would take is some politician to slip a modified part 15 document into some  other huge complex bill dealing with dust in outer space or the like,  and move it though the process in a day or so. Most of those guys don’t look at what there signing anyway, next thing you know we all hav…[Read more]

    Radio Joe replied to the topic Ground Loop Isolators in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 2 months ago

    Hi Mark, thanks for the response,- the Jensen isolator looks great, but they list it at $200, but you know what, if a person has a real problem with hum and is concerned about frequency response, This one looks like  the answer.

    I didn’t do a wide search on price yet but im sure it can be had for less than $200

    At least someone has come up wi…[Read more]

    Hello everyone!

    Radio Joe here,

    I have been doing some work in the transmitter room and need to ask whoever may have some knowledge about the following subject.

    I have from time to time used ground loop isolators between transmitters and audio sources such as a computer or VCR.

    The reason for this is to eliminate hum and buzz which seems to…[Read more]

    Radio Joe replied to the topic FCC Presentation about unlicensed transmitters in the forum Regulations / Law 2 years, 1 month ago

    II put my Radio Shack transmitter module away up in the rafters, and I  just connected my 8 track player amplifier output to the speaker in my collector tomb stone radio, that way I will have no problem meeting the part 15 rules and regulations- Thats the way I did it years ago so that’s the way I will end up doing it, put the tape player in a bo…[Read more]

    Radio Joe replied to the topic HR-583 omits part 15 AM in the forum Regulations / Law 2 years, 1 month ago

     

    Looks like I might as well go back to the days of my Lafayette AM broadcaster, you had to wrap the antenna wire from the broadcaster around the radio in order to get the signal. That should be safe to use that… Too bad the goofs who come out of Cuba or the islands some place who move to Florida think they can just go on the air to get their…[Read more]

    Radio Joe started the topic Need docs on how improve audio response TH 5 in the forum Transmitter Talk 2 years, 2 months ago

    I am going to try to improve the audio response of the TH 5- I know that in the past someone had posted instructions on how to do this, along with some photos and I think showing the caps that need to be changed on the TH 5 board.  I have seen a few things on this but none have been very clear for example one post said to change these values…[Read more]

    Radio Joe replied to the topic Where Are They Now? in the forum Transmitter Talk 2 years, 2 months ago

    I listened to the improved IAM radio transmitter audio on the web link, sounded bit muffled to me,  I don’t know, could been the bass boost they incorporated- I use an equalizer to kick up the bottom end on my TH transmitters, but most of the time I go back to the standard response the TH 5 gives me.

    There is nothing I have built, tried, or us…[Read more]

    I thought the review was good, the person did a nice job of letting people know how things went. I thought the audio quality was good! the hum he talks about thats normal, I have it here on all my AM transmtters, has to do with house wiring and the rf mixing with line current in the house wiring. I might have t add this transmitter to my…[Read more]

    This Vectronics VEC 1290 kit a simple low cost LC no PLL transmitter and looks good. I am Just wondering how stable it is as far as holding frequency and also audio quality.
