It's a pleasure to be part of this group. I just purchased a National
NCX-3 that is very close
to mint condition. It has been calibrated and realigned. Just has a
few small problems that
need to be addressed. Anyone wish to talk about this rig.. Please
post. Thanks!

Contrary to what you might think, this is not a Google Group. This is
Usenet, something which predates Google by a few decades. Google
shamelessly tries to make people think that Usenet is part of their Google
Groups hierarchy. It is not.

You don't join this group, you participate in it. Do yourself a favor and
"Google" (hate how that word has become part of the lexicon) 'Usenet."
Educate yourself about what you are posting to.

I'd like to note here that while Usenet is generaly unpoliced, except for
moderated groups, Google does such a poor job of preventing SPAM that many
people have set their newsreader programs to automaticly ignore postings
from Google.

This is done by placing a pattern which recognizes Google groups as the source
of the message in a file, called a killfile, which causes the messages to
be "killed". They are not canceled or deleted, just ignored.

So the chance of your postings being read is much smaller if you post from
Google than anywhere else.

Geoff.

Hi Matt:

I had the pleasure of owning one (new) a number of years ago. At the
time it was my first transceiver... And my first venture into SSB
operations. I always thought that is was a well designed and
engineered rig. Heavy duty as well, from the overall construction.

I maybe able to answer questions...

Hi Matt,

Welcome.

Its been many years since I had my hands on a NCX-3. One of my buddies
back in the early 70s had one and it seems like he was often fiddling
with it trying to cure some spurious things in the final stage. Could
have been choice of tubes, neutralisation, etc. Don't recall.

What sort of problems are you having?

I posted here mainly to discuss the beauty of this radio and my
pleasure
of owning one. The problems are very minor and I have a friend who
restores
boatanchors. I do appreciate the offers for assistance but I do think
that
we have it under control. The gentleman who does this work in Denver
is a real pro. Thanks for the interest. I am a fairly new ham but I
love this
vintage equipment.
