Invader 2000 Mods Question....

[n2len]

Has anyone anywhere in the New York Tri-State area actually performed/completed the full KB2AHE's Invader 2000 modifications?

I am thinking a possible 2010 Winter Project when this beast arrives, and would like to hear input.

Thank you,
Len

I have. But then again, I wrote it  

Seriously, there are some audio clips floating around here somewhere from our last outing at Gaithersberg, you can, at least hear it in action.

That's a Hoot!
Where are those audio clips?
Any pics?
Is that reworked beast on the air now?

I ran it for a while then set it aside to put the 4X1 rig back on. (Lack of room at the operating position) I plan to work it back in this winter, Its too neat of a rig to let it sit.

That article is a culmination of the trials and tribulations I went through to get it to work and sound good on AM. Not counting the hammy hambone butchery I had to undo. I had so many problems with it, it was about 1 step away from a gallon of gas and a match! (But I dont give up easily! ) The biggest problem is keeping the carrier rf from getting back into everything. the plate choke / HV bypass is just not sufficient for AM operation. I'll look around and see if I can find a few pix, I think there is some on here from our last special event station at the Gaithersburg hamfest.
