AVG Free anti-virus software also has a built-in spyware removal tool.  I also use the ones George captioned below - and even I get bit every once in a while by some new bug.   It's amazing that so many people have the time on their hands to be able to propagate all this crap...   Mark - N9WYS

Filter looks like an old GE setup. If so the dummy load more than likely is loaded with PCB and is tuned for about 70 mhz. Same would be true for a RCA. Color of the load is what tips me off. Most of the older loads were not wide bandwidth. Ralph - Original Message - From: Bill Isom

Bill, Looks like those cavities will bolt together end to end. All four would make a nice single 6m cavity. The 3 1/8 elbows look to be good quality and are always in demand for high power FM radio work. Keep these and their inner bullets. The 3dB couplers look to be machined from a single

I would be grateful for any info' about a Tait T296/01 PSU. It is in a rack of Tait repeater gear that I am re-conditioning for a local SAR group. I am guessing at 13.8V 10A in terms of the transmitter's power needs, but the regulator looks to be a bit light for 10 Amps. OK, I may have to

Side-comment: As a pilot and IT person, I've been taking tests for both at professional testing locations like ProMetric now for at least a decade. With the removal of the Code, I've always wondered why the FCC hasn't gone the way the FAA did, and dropped the need for the VE's altogether.
