I've had a AT-5555N for about 4 years or so. After a period of no use, I finally hooked it back up to find it has no modulation or power output on USB/LSB and the receive is muted on USB/LSB also.
AM/FM still work great (lots of modulation and output power). I've tried the "Reset" in the menu...
Recently I've been integrating DDS VFO's into vintage, (early-mid 70's), 23 channel SSB radios with great results. The last remaining issue I'd like to make "better" is to broadband the radio to operate in a "wider" bandwidth than they will now. (Pretty narrow operating range)
Currently...
Picked up an old, (Mfg'd in 1976), SBE Console 2. Nice old radio....must have been a desk queen. Anyway, was working well and all the sudden stopped transmitting in AM/SSB. RX is very weak and meter is dead.
I recapped it already, so that's out of the equation. I tried a new final...
If anyone has a Siltronix 1011C or D for sale I am interested. No basket cases or hacks please. Doesn't have to be N.I.B. or 10 /10. Function is more important than cosmetics.
Thanks
I've got a vintage, (mid-70's), MINT Midland AM/SSB I'm getting ready to hook a VFO up to in order to tune to the frequencies above and below the "cystalized" 23.
Anyone have any pointers as to where the correct spot is typically in these radios to pick up the operating frequencies??
I'd like to find a WORKING Siltronix Model 90-5. If you have one you'd like to sell / part with let me know what your asking price is. Payment can be made via PayPal.
Radio: Cobra 146 GTL
S/RF meter works when transmitting (swings as it should). It doesn't do anything on receive. No swing at all with incoming signals.
Rest of the radio works great ! Any suggestions where to start to cure the ill??
Thanks
We were lucky no tornado's got our house in Mississippi last week....but I did have one casualty......my 959DX. I turned it on and the frequency counter slowly counted up to 29.330 Mhz and moves up and down at random +/- 10. Channel selector and clarifier have no affect on the frequency. Not...
So this is almost too simple to share, but I like the results so much I thought I would post. (Forgive me if its been shared before)
My car has a small AUXILLARY input jack which my Daughter used to always plug her I-Phone in to listen to music. I never used it.....but it still had the cord...
Looking for a Cobra 146 GTL. Doesn't have to be a "Desk Queen" but NO hacks, clipped limiters, coil spreads, etc. Fully functional works for me. Include shipping in your price. I am in Mississippi, (just South of Memphis, TN). I'll pay via PayPal.
Thanks
I've got a Malaysian Cobra 148gtl I'm doing an alignment on. I have a problem with getting USB lined up.
I've got the counter on TP1 and the radio on CH19 per Cobra's service manual.
The frequency here should be 34.9865, but the lowest I can get it with the L59 can is 34.9906.
Not...
First of all, I know all about the new 148gtl and the reputation it has. I got two N.I.B. units for nothing......so I'm experimenting to make them "work" as they should.
One radio actually works quite well, but the other works well only on SSB (Upper and Lower) but on AM it puts out very...
I've got a Uniden PC-122 / Realistic TRC-453, (same radio) which will not transmit. Receive is still working. Red X-Mit light comes on when keyed, but on AM and USB/LSB no power output and no indication on the S-Meter.
It was working one minute, dead the next.
Suggestions on where to...
I've been searching for an alignment procedure for this radio for some time now. I'm looking for test points, coils, and frequencies at test points.
Appreciate any help. Thanks
