Hi all, I have a transformer here for the Console V, can anyone possibly tell me which wires are input (120VAC) and which are output or better yet a picture of the transformer in the radio showing the wires? Thanks for any help. Adam

Hi all, I received a Tram D201A that was supposed to be working and when I turn it on ALL the tubes light up but no power that I see anywhere else, no meter lights light up, so sound, controls appear to do nothing. The radio has 3 fuses a that I see and all are fine. The switch that I believe...

Hi all, I picked up a Northpoint CBS-1000 to play with and find AM output is about 1 watt ( no real audio swing) and SSB is like 8-10 watts. I tried to adjust RV4 and the AM coils (L38, L42 etc) but can't raise AM past that. On SSB I tried adjusting RV14 and no real improvement. Hopefully...

Hi all, I was given a good looking SBE Console V (SBE-40CB) AM/SSB base station. It turns on and all lights up, squelch control will make the meter move as it is supposed to when adjusted but I have NO output and NO receive and NO sound. When I key the mic I hear the relay click over to transmit...

Hi all, so a while ago I posted about low output on my DX-2547 and was not able to get too far so I retested the radio today and find that on AM my output is about 3 watts dead key and swings to 17 watts or so which is fine but on SSB I can only get up to about 10 watts with full modulation, I...

Hi all, I bought a Teaberry Stalker XV knowing that it was a gamble as it was untested. Receive is good but it has NO output AM or SSB. The relay clicks from receive to transmit but no output.The RX light goes off when I key up but the TX light does not come on but that of course could just be...

Hi all, I have a Cobra 139XLR that is working fine except the S meter needs adjustment. Yes, I know the S meter readings are subjective and not accurate in general but if someone can tell me which trimmer it is (VR??) I would be appreciative. Thanks for any help Adam in Florida

Hi all, I am sure this has been asked before but I have a Cobra 139XLR (D858 chip), receive seems "decent" but it is somewhat noisy and I know I can improve the receive. Can anyone tell me what to align for receive or perhaps some simple mods. I have a signal generator, VTVM, and solder/desolder...

Hi all, I have a Cobra 139XLR and AM has good output (5W+) but SSB only peaks at around 7 watts. I adjusted CT7 but that was max, what else can I try please? Thanks for any help. Adam

Hi, all, I have a Cobra 139XLR (with the 858 chip) and when testing AM transmit I find the radio is a little off frequency. For example on Channel 20 which is 27.205mhz my radio read 27.2046mhz. I know it;s not a huge difference but I would like to adjust it and I tried adjusting CT6 which...

Hi all, I have a DX-2547 that I use every so often and have not used it in a couple of weeks and find that output is extremely low. On AM it puts out about 1/2 watt dead key and swings to like 3 watts with modulation. SSB swings to about 3 watts as well. It used to put out like 8-10 watts dead...

Hi all, I acquired an older linear, it's labeled GOLD 150 and I have also seen them labeled DYNAMO GOLD 150. It's a nice little solid state amp and works very well except when you turn on the preamp the receive drops out so I am hoping someone is familiar with the amp and perhaps someone has a...

Hi all, I am looking for a couple of CB's: a) Royce 1-642 SSB/AM 40 channel base station b) Sonar G base Must be in very nice shape, complete, and working as it should. Please let me know what you have, all that comes with it, and best price shipped please. I would like to pay with Paypal...

Hi all, I picked up an HTX-100 that was stock, I carefully did the all band mod and I am pretty handy. I cut the trace properly ( and did not cut anything else) and then soldered the 10K resistor to the appropriate pin with 5VDC. After all this I find it still only covers 28-30mhz, can not get...

Hi all, I have a really nice FT-101E that I use for AM reception and it used to be better but now it sounds muffled on AM. I do have the AM filter installed but the sound quality is poor. Signal strength and receive is great, just sound quality is the problem. I tried external speaker but no...

Hi all, I just acquired a nice Royce 1-625, can anyone give me alignment info for it? I looked around but could not find any. Thanks for any help. Adam

Hi all, I have a Galaxy Saturn (not turbo) and this evening when I went to transmit there is a pretty loud/buzz/hum. When I am not transmitting I can hear it a little when volume is turned down but when I transmit it's fairly loud. On AM it's loud and on SSB it's low until I modulate and gets...

Hi all, this is a real long shot if someone can help. I acquired a nice Panasonic RJ-3600 and find that channels 36 through 40 are out. I am thinking it may be in the channel selector mechanism but that is just a guess, if someone is more familiar with the radio and can help me to bring those...

Hi all, I acquired an RCA 14T 303 CB and the xmit is a little off frequency so I need to adjust it. Can anyone post the page from the service manual with that info or tell me what pot etc to adjust? Thanks, Adam

Hi all, I have a Sonar G CB and need the wiring for the DC power cord, a schematic would show it, any help out there? Thanks for any help. Adam
