I have a Swan Cubic 100MXA that I'm trying to wire a Cobra (coffin styled) stock mic to . If you're not familiar with the radio , it has the phono jack styled microphone jack . I've tried multiple wiring combinations with no luck .
This mic has 5 wires and their colors are :
Red
White
Shield...
I've been looking at frequency counters online, and I've noticed that a lot of them don't have their BNC alligator clip test leads ... and I was wondering, if I buy a replacement test lead for whatever frequency counter I buy , will any BNC test lead work, or will I only be able to use brands...
I definitely have a radio here that would make for a great test subject ... lol. I bought a Galaxy 979 a few years ago at one of the local thrift stores ... and it's been modified so much that it's way out in left field someplace . I can hear it through channel bleed over , but I can't locate...
Thank you Pez for the list that you gave me . Thanks to your list I've been able to get an idea as to what I should be looking for , and I've been finding some pretty nice equipment at affordable prices .
All of you have been a great help in one way or another , and I greatly appreciate all of...
Looking at those , they aren't looking very affordable to the "Average Guy" . I'm looking for something around $100 for working on my own personal equipment , which is usually older . So do you have any affordable examples to offer ?
Hi everyone, I've been in the radio hobby for most of my life (40 plus years), both CB & Ham radio ... and finding a good repair service these days is becoming harder & harder to find . That is, without shipping my stuff out , and I am definitely not a fan of trusting any of my equipment to any...
Thanks Dopple,
I thought that something like that might be the case. I don't mind buying the CAT cable for my 897 , but I already have the one for the 757 and figured I'd see if it would work with the 897 before buying another cable .
Hi everyone,
I have a Yaesu FT-757GXII which has it's CAT cable , and a Yaesu FT-897d that doesn't have a CAT cable . What I'm wondering is will the FT-757's CAT cable match up , and work with the FT-897d , or do they each have their own CAT cable specific to the model...
So I know that this thread is old with the last post being back in 2018 . But there was never an answer to the original question ... did anyone ever find out how 262NagantRadios was doing ?
I bought my 897 new , about 8 years ago from Gigaparts . It's from the 897's last run . They discontinued them 3 months after I bought mine . In all that time , it's just sat here on my desk . It's never been mobile , portable , or exposed to the elements . This is the first time that it's ever...
So today I hooked my Yaesu FT-897d back up to the power supply and turned it on to check it out and see if I could figure out what's wrong with it , and now it's working like it should .
No idea what went wrong with it to begin with , because it did this without any warning , and now I have no...
Thanks Greg , I'll look into getting a Turner Plus 3 to go with it in the near future . So do you think that the Turner 254 would make a good match up for in the mean time , or stick with the Silver Eagle for now ?
Ok , well I have a D104 Silver Eagle , and a Turner 254 that I can use with it . The Silver Eagle is already wired up to it , but I was wondering which one would be a better match up for the 757GX II .
I understand that , but doesn't the radio have a pin in it that should be already supplying power to the MD-100 , like they do with the stock mics ... and shouldn't the cord I bought already be wired properly between the radio and the mic so that they match up and work together ?
I have a Yaesu MD-100A8X Desktop Mic , I'd like to use it on my Yaesu FT-757GX II ? I bought a cord on ebay that was suppose to be able to match the mic to the radio , there's keyup but no audio . Has anyone else ever put an MD-100A8X on a FT-757GX II , how difficult would it be for me to get...
I went to a local Hamfest last weekend and I bought a nice little Yaesu FT-757GX II while I was there . It's in nice condition , and it works good ... but the meter lights are blown . I bought a bunch of "New" wheat bulbs on ebay a few years ago . But they're not any good at all , because I've...
