I'm just experimenting with it. I know its not the "proper" way but its a start. And the VR on the 68 was far from wide open. One 78 will DK around 2-3 on Ch.1 but 36 through 40 and it has Hell trying. Actually have a video of it doing this.
They were sent in for exactly that, a tune-up and...
After pulling a 25 LTD classic apart, They manipulate the selector switch to do it and leave the PLL alone. So in theory, You could make any channel instant on. Still playing with it and reading the schematics.
Sometimes just experimenting with stuff yields the best answers. Schematics can only...
So much for email notifications, Lol.
Trying like Hell to figure this out because I have a 68 that had its diode cut for years. It would do 14-ish all the time. Put limiter back in as a test and AMC would kick is as it should and brought it down to around 7-8. Using a tone, I adjusted the VR...
Supposedly, The 29 and 25 are identical to the 68 and 78 series. And even claiming to use the same PLL according to that site. But how would I find out what sister radio these have that has instant 19 without staring through schematics for hours and hours....
So lately I've been having some questions come up after dealing with what I have on some rigs and wondered, If it is possible, Would it work, Should I do it, Etc...
First is, If they (OEMs) wax a couple of the cans to keep their tune, Could you possibly wax all of them instead and put some...
Compromise definitively. I'd sacrifice a little efficiency for omni directionality. And even with a hatch mount,Would still need to bond it to the body and all that.
I don't have any other option. Its either bond through the rack to keep lines short to the roof or mag mount. Its a 2012 Escape. You'll see what I'm talking about then.
I'm not stuck on running 200. Just what I had before and I seen it work. As far as bonding, I have no problem bonding the doors, hood, etc... together by means of straps screwed into the panel. And yes, I know a mag mount is a piss poor setup regardless who made it. Especially wilson now days. I...
68Elite and 78LTW. I won't own a SMT radio if I can help it. And I think these are the last ones made with through hole components. Also would like to do this to a 78Elite which i think is the same as the LTW just backlit face.
These made in Vietnam actually. And no, They're new still in box and everything. The other one doesn't have theses issues and the third I haven't looked at yet. Seems to be just this one. Even though, The other one for momma bear is only 3 digits higher in serial. The case cover is just where it...
Wow. I was learning and agreeing with you until the second to last sentence. No need to throw insults. My radios are tuned and still have the limiters although not allowing any usable modulation output with them. And I'm sorry, But my wife has an IQ higher than the number of knobs on a radio...
Got me. I'd have to go pull the cover off and look. No where near it right now. Will be tonight. Just whatever is in a 68 and 78 though. Let me see if I can find some info on it.
