    RCI 2970 Discontinued?

    I have a 2970. Not sure what “series” it is. It has a green lcd display, bi-polar driver and final and a 2 x 2290 amplifier board. It was massively “truckerized” and worked when I got it in a trade for some other work I did. It now does not key up and the receive sucks bad (too much “white...

    Dan, This would be a good place to try. Ken has more than listed on his web page. A phone call is probably best as Ken does not e-mail. Good Luck. 73 David

    epay...radio costs

    Where did the "True" auctions go? Most everything I see now is listed with a "Buy it Now" price-or at the very least, a "Starting" price that is more than the item is worth. 73 David

    Anyone here REALLY know Texas Stars?

    They are Steve. I set it to 80 watts max and corrected/repaired a coax switch that I believe caused the issue initially. I haven't had much time to play radio lately. Wife and I have been pretty busy with my health and her mothers health. I tripped across those 2-2879's I pulled from the...
