    Chat tips

    Tip 5: "You may ask yourself, 'Well, how did I get here?!'" You clicked the 'Chat' tab at the top of the screen, whether intentionally or accidentally. :) I'd prefer it if, like with the old AK Chat from the vBulletin days, clicking the Chat tab gave you an option to either enter the chat...

    Chat tips

    In the case of the chat software, it's actually Shift + Return to perform a carriage return to the next line while still writing the message. However, watch where the blinking text cursor is if you press Return to send the message, as that will perform a carriage return within the message text...

    Chat tips

    I'm glad you appreciate it! :) Many of the functions available within the chatroom are less than intuitive, so I see this thread as a way to educate my fellow AKers on the finer points of the chat software as I have figured them out thus far. If it's OK with you, I'd also like this thread to be...

    Chat tips

    Tip 4: Message functions, part 2: Similarly, there are functions available when hovering the mouse cursor over/tapping on your own messages. Doing so will look something like this: Again, the buttons from left to right: Quote the message text. Same as above, except with the text from your own...

    Chat tips

    Tip 3: Message functions, part 1 In the chat, there are additional functions available with regards to messages, both yours and those of others. If you're using a computer, they appear when hovering the mouse cursor over messages; on a phone or other mobile device, tap the desired message and...

    Tip 2: Posting images There are two ways to post images in the chat, either from images hosted on other websites, or by uploading them directly from your computer or other device. To post images hosted elsewhere, first click the button which looks like a picture in a frame, labeled "Insert...

    Chat tips

    Hello everyone. Figured I'd start a new thread with pointers on how to use the newly-returned chat feature on this forum. I'll start with what I consider the most important feature, the pop-up window. This allows you to browse the main forum while viewing the chatroom in a 'floating' window...

    Zenith Trans-Oceanic Royal 7000Y

    Correct, but not this 7000 series. It's confusing because there were two entirely different 7000 lines, produced one after another. The first was the Royal 7000 series, which started production in 1969, and employed electrical bandspread for the shortwave broadcast bands like all T-O models...

    CB linear amplifier good for anything else besides CB?

    As a licensed ham, I'm legally allowed to run up to 1,500 watts on most HF bands, though I haven't yet gone past what my rigs can manage on their own "barefoot", which is generally around 100 watts. However, I do have one of these waiting for me to check it out and replace old capacitors: Good...

    What was the the last audio-related item you purchased?

    Yeah, I believe they were B&O's most popular product here in the US. I've also come across their other components and their speakers in my travels, but by and large I've come across their turntables more often than any of the others. I'm not entirely sure how they were sold, but most of the ones...

    What was the the last audio-related item you purchased?

    Been longer than I thought since I last posted in here, so I'll post a few of the items I've picked up recently. I'll start with a pair of Heathkit stereo receivers, which I picked up at a local electronics store as part of a lot for $250. The top one is an AR-1500 from the early '70s, which is...

    Can anyone ID this computer cap?

    I had a capacitor like that explode in a Macintosh 512K I have. Sounded like a string of firecrackers going off, followed by a dramatic cloud of smoke rising out of the vent slots! :eek: The computer was turned off at the time, so I knew what had caused the explosion. Here are some photos of the...
