This online guide details the microphone pinout for the Kenwood TR-7950 transceiver, specifically addressing the wiring configuration for a dynamic mobile microphone with a **500 Ohm** impedance. It provides a pin-by-pin breakdown for the 6-pin microphone connector, identifying the function of each active pin. The resource specifies that Pin #1 is for the microphone audio (white wire), Pin #2 controls the _PTT_ (black wire), Pin #3 activates the memory down function (blue wire), and Pin #4 controls the memory up function (red wire). Pin #6 is designated as the ground connection, while Pin #5 remains unused in this configuration. The document focuses on the physical wiring necessary to restore microphone functionality to the Kenwood TR-7950, a transceiver capable of **45 watts** output on the _2m band_. It directly addresses the technical challenge of re-establishing correct electrical connections after microphone wires have been disconnected from the connector. The information facilitates proper microphone operation for simplex QSOs and other voice communications. DXZone Focus: Online Guide | Microphone Pinout | Kenwood TR-7950 | PTT Wiring

The G5RV multiband HF antenna, designed by Louis Varney (G5RV) in 1946, is a popular compromise antenna offering good overall performance on most HF bands when paired with an external antenna tuner. The basic full-size G5RV measures 102 feet across the top for 80 through 10 meter operation and is fed at the center via a 34-foot low-loss feed-stub. This interaction between the radiating section and the feed-stub facilitates matching across 80-10 meters with a standard tuner, often eliminating the need for ladder line directly to the shack. The antenna's design center frequency is 14.150 MHz, configured as a 3/2-wave dipole on 20 meters, with its 102-foot length derived from long-wire antenna formulas. Construction details emphasize the matching section, which can be open wire, ladder line (window-type), or TV twin lead. Each type has a specific velocity factor (VF) affecting its physical length for an electrical half-wave on 14 MHz; for instance, open wire requires 33.7 feet (VF 0.97), ladder line 31.3 feet (VF 0.90), and TV twin lead 28.5 feet (VF 0.82). The article provides formulas for calculating these lengths and discusses the antenna's behavior on individual bands, from 3.5 MHz where it acts as a shortened dipole, to 28 MHz where it functions as two three-half-wave long-wire antennas fed in-phase. Practical construction notes include recommendations for vertical descent of the matching section, sealing the coax junction, providing strain relief, and winding a coaxial choke coil to mitigate common mode current. The resource also presents dimensions for double-size (204 ft) and half-size (51 ft) G5RV versions, along with their corresponding matching section lengths for various line types, making it a versatile reference for hams considering this classic wire antenna.
