Derb back on the air with a lot of help from my friends

[W4EWH]

Phred,

 it's a Gonset, 

Derb,

My brother, W3TDH, just got a GSB-201. The Bias leads on the rear panel are jumpered together. Do you run yours that way?

TIA.

Bill

This ones been modified into one that works with a transceiver. Its the original model and unless modified as such it wont work with a transceiver. The Mark 2 and up will.

GSB 201 - rule #1, DONT EVER CHANGE THE BANDSWITCH WITHOUT TURNING THE POWER TOTALLY OFF. If you change the position while the amp is keyed you will probably for sure burn up the bandswitch. The one I got given only works on 75 and 40. Someone burned the crap out of the switch - wont work on 20 15, or 10. The contacts are burned away. 

I have a copy of the manual that covers every model made in a pdf file. - give me ur email and I'll send it to you. My bias leads are not hooked up inside the amp as sock -but there's no jumper. You need the manual. Me send.

Derb - Looking forward to working you this Winter!

It returns to you slowly. After my two surgeries and CHEMO I thought I would never be able to hold a soldering iron with a steady hand or use tools to build anything. I was a physical and mental mess a year and a half ago. And a newborn added to the stress that life was giving me. I'm thankful that I have a wife who took on the entire load. That's why they are called help mate!
Can you describe your antenna?  I should look at the W7FG site, I guess to smoke his stuff over, not that I'm gonna change anything here now that it's Winter. oops I forgot this is the time to build antennas.
