Check out my new transmitter the Rare Johnson 500 transmitter. Heck only 853 were made. Had some big issues with the rig and they just kept on coming. The video will be a little different than my others. I filmed it with my new iphone not thinking it was going to roll in .mov format and for many years I have only used MP4 and anything other than apple. My software does not convert .mov files so...

W7MBR and crew doing the MBR show. No Id's for over 30 minutes. And very foul language that was omitted from this recording. Honestly a good reason to not get into amateur radio.

Vintage sub rigs 1980 or older celebrated on this weekly net. Also a question of the evening. Dennis W6DQ as net control tonight with a very nice roundtable. Condx were a bit rough but for the most part things picked up as the night progressed.

To set custom RX bandwidth on Smart SDR you move your mouse to the right or left of the vertical light blue band which is the receive slice and the cursor will turn into a <-->. Click and hold then move left or right to increase/decrease upper and lower cut.
@@conorturton thank you sir got it handled.
Love some proper radios, Thankyou for recording these nets, one plea / suggestion though, Please set a slower AGC on the SDR - the background noise instantly zooming up in between words is unpleasant and tiring to listen to, but nice content.
I tend to like the med agc but I will try a slower setting for the folks.
Sounded good the other night, great job Johnny…
This year should have been 49 years
Very well explained. I wondered how the antenna fields were controlled during night time broadcasting. I wonder if the AM short wave antenna fields are directed the same way.
Great commentary by the engineer. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing this recording.
Thanks for making these recordings John!
Band condix were pretty good tonight...
It's gonna look as good as it will sound
Nice, for Europe-AM-contacts 29.000 kHz.
Tough conditions for sure...
@@kenwing6196 gonna have to make a 300 watt am min lol.
@@n9amiwavelengthradio rename it the super senior net!

Very nice and informative
Very nice. Thank you
Excellent video! I just picked up a Swan 350 and this video was a great help.

You can use mineral oil in American is MFJ
MFJ website says 3/4 of an inch from the top of the can
If you go to MFG’s website it says 3/4 of an inch from the top of the can
Probably a stupid question, but why do they change between day and night? FCC considerations? Different programming from the stations who pay for certain areas? ❤️
Most simple explanation goes like this. On the AM broadcast band you have to go to low power at night because the signals will travel allot farther. So the FCC mandates low power so they do not interfere with other stations around the country.
@@n9amiwavelengthradio Interesting, so what’s the more complicated answer? I’ll google it, but I’m assuming something atmospheric? I just can’t understand how daytime translates into transmission efficiency, unless there’s just a different thermal profile or something. Or maybe it’s just as simple as additional RF noise during the day? 🤷🏻♂️
Sounds like you’re next to an Air Force base or something, pretty cool! 😎
Yes Nellis Air Force Base
@@n9amiwavelengthradio haha knew it, those aren’t your usual jet engines
Happy 4th John 🎉🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Sounds good, but more low end would be better…
Civilians using military radios or military radio traffic sounds civilian to me
Thanks for your opinions. 73
Not the best conditions tonight...
Well your signal was good. :-)
@@n9amiwavelengthradio thanks.. loving my new 80 meter delta loop!
Those are some good sounding AM stations….😊
Is that one of the Collins 75A-4-SDR receivers??? Never seen one… 😂
Thanks for the video tour.
I like the SP-600 better, the 388 also sounds like it has a narrow filter running… maybe cause I have a SP-600 ? lol
Totally Agree
Mine has version 1.1.7 brand new.. birdies every where. Definitely 28.425. Its like the old sdrs where you can hear see the IF. Every band has spots that are s9 or 10 over with dummy load attached. Very disappointed. Im guessing this is hardware related. Some people have no birdies i guess?
Some people lie to save face.
Found me at 15 minutes in, I'll be back again this year, if I can make the trip
I used to swl AM radio nets on 80 meters back in the 80s. Ill have to try and see I can hear this one some Sunday morning. I'm in Texas. Thanks for posting this video.
Tim it will probably be pretty rough to get at that time of day and distance. But hey you can listen to the youtube. Thanks for tuning in.
I remember way back it seemed like the AM guys didn't like short transmissions, when they keyed up they would stay keyed up and say everything they needed to say before turning it over to the next person. Sometimes each guy would talk for several minutes before unkeying. I used to think it was probably best for their transmitters to do it this way. Anyway, Thanks for posting.
You are correct..I have thrown down some short 20-minute overs. Tim Tron can go for hours.
Hey John, what time is this net???
Oh usually they shoot for 730am Pacific however folks get on pre and usually are going by 715am.
I understand the VPN solution for ensuring a consistent IP address and network. I am wondering if port forwarding works with this scheme? I use a K3, remote rig boxes and a K3/0 for control. 73, Dennis, K7FL
No port forwarding on these type of internet connections.
Thanks John! Good to see the gang! Really bummed to have to be stuck in this neck brace and grounded for 6 weeks. But hopefully in a few days...next phase of rehab is going to let me drive. But look how much money and garage space I saved!
Sorry you were not able to attend. You were missed.
It seems pretty difficult to bring a camera into a radio convention. But as for us who like radios it's cool to see. Thank you for filming and everybody dealing with the camera thanks for the patience.
K DWN 720 an from the Union Plaza Hotel Number One Main Street Las Vegas 😊
Really lousy band conditions tonight...
Yup been bad.
I will see you guys in August at Huntsville and looking forward to being around awhile and mixing it up with you guys. I will get the xyl on the air also.
Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it. 73 from South Africa ZS land
Xiegu is Chinese for Shoigu... 😂
I might know why the current meter is pegged at 0 - It's blown. It's likely suffered an overvoltage/overcurrent situation from a nearby electrical strike. That's the last meter on the output, isn't it?
Get a BCI filter kit.what your seeing is broadcast overload
BCI kit doesn't fix birdies. But thanks. What that radio needs is a American or Japanese engineer to design it ..
@@n9amiwavelengthradio what I am saying is part of what you are calling a birdie is BCI
@@jessgypin-ko5ds No its not. Also, if the radio is that bad as it needs filters to attenuate that sort of signals its a terrible design and not worth 100 bucks. Appreciate your input though.
Like others have said, if it is not there with the antenna off it is not a birdie
Dude it's there with the antenna off.
Your camera is really grainy
I would be glad to accept your donation of a new 4K camera thanks.
What kind of tubes it use on the final stage ???
4-400 pair modulated by 4-400 pair.
@@n9amiwavelengthradio thank you. The power output is about 250W ??
I wonder what your AGC level is set to. also what is your ANT gain set at. Why don't you set your display AVG to a higher level?
Why would I want to do that? AVG is fine at 50. No ant gain as you do not use nor need a preamp on the low bands. AGC is set to medium as you can see on the display. Thanks for watching.
Anyone able to explain exactly what each part means?
You're kidding right lol...Sorry that would be a master class and take up more time than most people's short attention spans here have. But thanks for watching. I will have a final episode with the install of a ptt and full test.
