SM6POP Amatörradio Ham radio antenner Anders Karlsson Welcome to look into my toolbox! Here is some tools between antenna and earth that I have used, maybe you also find something useful in the field of amateur radio on the page If you click on the The radio workshop you can see a little about my ham radio repairs. I accept ham radio equipment for repair and service as time allows and access to parts and service manuals. If there is something in the toolbox you want to comment on or are missing, please contact me under Contact. The page is best viewed in Windows.

The radio workshop Welcome to my radio workshop! Here I repair and service our stations and accessories. My business is at a hobby level as I have a regular job during the day so repairs and service are only accepted to the extent of time and desire. I also choose the type of repairs I undertake depending on the availability of service manuals and spare parts and costs associated with the repair. Old cb-radios should preferably stay at the owners home when the ravages of time and screw-happy novices often put the radio in a condition that is not worth repairing. You are always welcome to contact by using the contact form at the bottom of the page. You can also contact me if you repair/modify on a slightly simpler level yourself and need support. In that case, write your phone number in the contact form and I will call you when the opportunity arises. An IC-7300 on the repair bench Tips from the coach. If you do not have full control and the right instrument park, never open the station to repair, mod or "tune" it. Never go into hidden service menu to "trim" it. Don't touch anything that works! Use well-tuned antennas, preferably antennas in resonance or close to resonance. All contacts and connections in the antenna system must be well connected and with good contact. Make sure you have no RF currents back to the shack. In case of high mismatch in the antenna system, use an external tuner instead of the radio's built-in one. For long transmit cycle digital modes, do not run at full power. Do not build the radio in such a way that the radio's fan cannot get rid of the hot air from the station. When connecting power amplifiers, modems, microphones or other non-original peripherals, ensure that all connections are correctly configured. If the radio is not working as it should, do a factory reset before you decide to send it in for repair.

In order for our hobby to be as pleasant as possible, it might be a good idea to adhere to some rules about how to behave on the bands. A radio amateur must be tolerant. We share frequencies with many other people, some of whom will not have the same opinion as you. We don't talk derogatorily about people. Be mindful of what you say and avoid discussing topics that may seem upsetting or offensive. Topics that should be avoided are religion and outlook, political ideology, or economic social issues etc. where opposing parties may have strong opinions which do not necessarily match your own. We completely avoid profanity, sex words and the like. Understand that everyone may not have the same skills, experience and more. Act humbly towards other people on the bands. If you or someone else gets upset, avoid acting on it, instead behave like an adult in such situations and try to calm the situation down. Stations that deliberately interfere are ignored, attention usually only makes the problem worse. L call before sending and ask if the sequence is available if you are unsure. Also listen a few khz above and below the frequency you intend to use so you don't disturb ongoing traffic near your frequency. Call correctly and exit correctly. A matörradion is mainly for technical discussions of a purely private nature or of general interest for the hobby, tests and exams and more. Approach to DX traffic I listening and listening and listening again before calling the DX station. I calling The DX station only if I can perceive the DX station properly. I don't trust the DX cluster but be sure of the DX station's callsign before I do calling The DX station. I do not disturb the DX station or anyone who calling The DX station and I never transmit on the DX station frequency vid split-QSO I waiting for the DX station to finish a contact before I calling . I always enter my entire signal. I does not call DX station continuously. After calling the DX station, I listen carefully. I calling not when the DX operator answers another call sign, not mine. I answers or calling not when the DX operator asks for a signal that is not mine. I calling not when the DX station is requesting geographic areas other than mine Are there more stations waiting to finishI my QSO with the DX station as soon as we exchange the necessary information unless the DX station expressly wants to conduct a longer QSO with me.
