    Help with rfi

    I finally had some free time tpday to try and figure this out. I found a single small wire taped to my antenna tower. I followed it back into the house through a hole that the satellite coax runs through. Across the ceiling taped to the satellite cable right into another hole in my living room...

    The only extra looking part on the solder side i can find is this diode circled in the picture. Im not sure if it should be there or not.

    I turned VR 14 both ways and put it back where it was set to be safe.

    Help with rfi

    I have no idea why the heat sheild on the amp is gone. The radio is the way I bought it second hand and it was probably removed by the previous owner. Q32 is still there and none of the legs are cut. I tried twisting it but it wont budge. VR14 still has plenty of room to be turned up also.

    Help with rfi

    I pulled the cover off and i cant find anything thats been clipped inside the radio. The internal amp doesn't have the little metal cover on it though. Ill have to find some of those snap on ferrite beads and give that a try.

    Help with rfi

    I dug out my old galaxy saturn turbo tonight. I wanted to see if it still works and possibly use it as my dedicated shack radio but have a bit of an issue! When i key up, my family can hear me through the surround sound in the house about 40-50ft away. I asked my neighbors if they had any...

    Help ID these mods

    I have a cheap chinese frequency counter here that should work. I just have to figure out where to tap into for the counter to get the signal. I agree Sonoma, the solder work is definitely not the best, looking at it again tonight I'm actually surprised they haven't all broken and separated.

    Help ID these mods

    I forgot I had these radios until I started cleaning my basement. I figure these are modded for extra channels since they are 23 channel radios, but I can't seem to figure out how they work. If I can't do anything with them I'll just sell them. The first is a Realistic TRC-57 ssb This dial...

    The board number is EPT360011B It doesn't have a frequency counter jack, and the jack where it normally says P.A. speaker says CW key.

    Cobra 29 Backlit slide switches

    I actually did this a few years ago to an old uniden pc68xl for my daughter. I wired them to the power for the meter light. I used 5 pre-wired 3mm 12v leds. I hot glued each one above the switches, but in between them if that makes sense. Here is a very crude drawing of how they were placed.

    Cobra 148GTL/EX Any info?

    My wife bought me this Cobra 148 GTL/EX last week as a gift, but I can't find much info on it at all. What I have found is in Spanish mostly, and google translating definitely leaves much to be desired. Any help figuring this radio out is appreciated!
