The Yaesu FT-1000MP Mark-V, introduced at Dayton 2000 Hamvention, features a higher RF power of **200 W PEP** and a Class-A amplification SSB mode at 75 W. Key enhancements include an _Interlocked Digital/Analog Bandwidth Tracking system (IDBT)_, a Variable Front-End Filter (VRF) preselector, and improved ergonomics, notably a multi-function shuttle jog dial. This model, a successor to the 1996 FT-1000 and FT-1000MP, was designed to compete with high-end transceivers, despite its retail price of $4200 initially. The transceiver's physical dimensions are 406 x 135 x 348 mm (16 x 5.3 x 13.7 inches) with a weight of 14 kg (31 lbs), making it substantial. Its rear panel offers over 20 connections, including power, external DSP speaker, BAND DATA I/O, ALC, and multiple interface jacks for DVS-2, Packet, and RTTY. The unit also provides two keyer inputs, a DB9M serial interface for CAT, and two PL female antenna connectors, plus additional receive antenna jacks. Despite its advanced internal architecture, including two independent receivers with their own IF filters and AGC loops, the display technology, utilizing fluorescent discharge rather than LCD, contributes to an older aesthetic. The control panel is extensive, featuring 92 knobs and buttons, alongside numerous LED indicators for various modes and functions.

Constructing a high-performance RF spectrum analyzer up to 1000 MHz requires careful attention to component selection, shielding, and circuit isolation. This resource details a project that improves upon the _Spectrum Analyzer for the Radio Amateur_ design by Wes Hayward (W7ZOI) and Terry White (K7TAU), incorporating ideas from Scotty Sprowls' project, particularly his 1013.3 MHz IF bandpass cavity filter. The analyzer utilizes a Mini-Circuits SRA-11 mixer with a sweeping local oscillator from 1013 to 2013 MHz, feeding into a 4-pole copper pipe cavity filter. The design employs a second SRA-11 mixer with a fixed 1024 MHz LO to produce a 10.7 MHz final IF. This signal then passes through narrowband resolution filters and is processed by Analog Devices AD603 and AD8307 ICs for IF amplification and logarithmic detection, driving an oscilloscope in X/Y mode. The project emphasizes modular construction, using salvaged components and double-sided FR4 material for PCBs, with critical notes on minimizing spurious images through effective shielding and proper voltage regulation for each module. Key components include a Z-Communications V585ME48 VCO for the first LO and a Z-Comm V583ME01 VCO controlled by a Motorola MC145151 PLL for the second LO. An optional Hittite HMC307 step attenuator and K&L 5L121-1000/T5000-O/O low-pass filter manage RF input. Tuning procedures for the 10.7 MHz IF resolution filter are also detailed, showing before-and-after spectrum views.

Constructing a basic multimeter involves integrating a 0-1mA meter movement with various shunts and multipliers, selected via a switch, to create a versatile instrument capable of measuring DC volts, current, and resistance. The design outlines two main units: a primary unit handling six DC current ranges up to 1 amp and eight DC voltage ranges up to 1000 volts, alongside an internal battery for an ohms range up to 200,000 ohms. This approach allows for a practical, hands-on understanding of meter operation. An add-on unit further extends the multimeter's capabilities, incorporating a meter rectifier and switched series resistors to provide four AC voltage ranges up to 100 volts. Additional shunt and series resistors, designated Ra and Rb, are included to expand the instrument's range to 10A and 5kV, demonstrating how modular design can enhance functionality. When this add-on is in use, the main instrument is set to measure 1mA FSD, connecting via specific lugs. Component selection emphasizes precision, with 1% tolerance high stability resistors for series elements and Eureka resistance wire for shunts. The design specifies values calculated for a meter with 60 ohms internal resistance, noting that these would require modification for different meter characteristics. Experimental adjustment of shunt values is recommended to ensure accurate readings against a calibrated reference meter, reinforcing practical calibration techniques.

From March 2 to March 11, 2018, a Norwegian team operated as Z2LA from Zimbabwe, focusing on 160m through 10m bands using SSB and CW modes. The operation, described as "holiday style," aimed to provide contacts for DXers worldwide seeking a rare DXCC entity. Key equipment included a SUNSDR PRO II, an Elecraft KX3, and an Icom 706 MK2G as a spare radio, supported by two Juma 1000 amplifiers for robust signal output across the bands. Antenna systems were tailored for multi-band operation, featuring an Inv L for 160m and 80m, sloping dipoles for 30m/40m, and a _Hexbeam_ from SP7IDX Technology covering 20m to 10m. For improved reception, the team deployed a SAL 30, two reversible BEV antennas from remoteqth.com, and a BOG from K1FZ, enhancing their ability to hear weak signals. QSL information directs operators to Clublog for log search and M0OXO Charles for OQRS, explicitly requesting no bureau cards. The team comprised LA7THA Rune, LA7WCA Arne, and LA9VPA Thor, successfully making numerous contacts and contributing to the DX community's pursuit of _Zimbabwe_ as a DXCC entity.

The recognition of telegraphy masked by noise at 40 and 80 signs/min telegraphy speed was studied in 10 normal-hearing subjects at different sound pressure levels (25-85 dB SPL in steps of 5 dB) as well as at different test frequencies (2000, 1000, 800, 630, 500 and 250 Hz). The ability to recognize the signs varied with varying SPL. Recognition for most of the subjects was best at an SPL close to 70 dB. All subjects improved their recognition as the frequency was lowered to 500 Hz, some even at 250 Hz. These facts should be taken into consideration when training telegraphy operators as well as in the construction of radio receivers to permit listening at low frequencies. Furthermore, the critical ratio was calculated at the different test frequencies.

The Acom 1500 HF+6M Linear Amplifier is a high-quality and user-friendly amplifier that provides excellent performance and reliability. G6NHU, who previously owned an Acom 1000, upgraded to the Acom 1500 after nine years and has been using it for about eighteen months. Key features highlighted include the ability to connect three antennas internally, straightforward tuning process, robust construction that can handle high SWR, quiet operation, fast and quiet switching for efficient CW operation, and clean output signal even when driven hard. G6NHU highly recommends the Acom 1500 and states they would not hesitate to purchase another one in the future.
