    RCI 2970N3 external "S" meter.

    Looking through my archived documents I found the following attached .pdf. I think page 146 or so describes a mod for an external "S" meter.

    RCI 2970N3 external "S" meter.

    Isn't the N3 more like the DX than the older through hole design? Seems the schematic is different on the 2970 non-DX version than the DX version.

    Need a Service Manual for a Courier Centurion 23 Channel SSB CB Base Station

    Well, I know I have a lot more brain farts since I retired, or should I call them senior moments. Kinda like standing out in the garage for 1/2 an hour wondering what I went in there for.

    Need a Service Manual for a Courier Centurion 23 Channel SSB CB Base Station

    This is the one on CB Tricks. Is it different than this? I see a Centurion +, but I don't know if it's different than the one you have. SAMS CB-52 COURIER Centurion...

    sbe console II SSB

    I have brought out my late father in laws SBE Console II radio. It has a Glen 326-1 Digital VFO hooked up to it. I have cleaned the pots and switches for the most part. I brought it up with a dim bulb and it appears to be working. I had it on channel 27.385 on the VFO and it did receive...

    The old FCC issued cb call signs

    I kinda did the same thing. My old license is posted somewhere here on the forum. KLE-3820, I use 3820 or WDX3820. My license number, I believe, was just before the FCC started issuing the 4 letter prefix to the license number due to the large number of CB licenses that had been issued.

    MRF477

    Just my .02 cents. I had a 2510 that was dropping out on xmit. Had some intermittent issues. I sent it to DOCS as he was the man on these...no offense to Rogerbird as he's a guru as well, and he spent some time on it and found that the issue was the 477 being insulated. He fixed that and did all...

    RCI 2995 DX HP Off Frequency on LSB Transmit only

    I think I would contact the vendor as the kits at amazon and epay show the 9440 as well.

    RCI 2995 DX HP Off Frequency on LSB Transmit only

    That's strange. Looks like they have changed some of the tools. Here's a picture of the one I have that shows the tools included in my kit. I had bought a couple of the kits over time, and this is the last complete set I have. All the kits i bought had these same tools. EDIT: page 369 of the...

    RCI 2995 DX HP Off Frequency on LSB Transmit only

    I like the ceramic tools, but you do have to be careful. I have a HOZAN D-272, but they are expensive. The 1.3 x 30 I think works a little better than the Hoan 1.8. Vessel no 9000 1.3 x 30 also kinda expensive.

    Solar panels

    I don't think the technology is quite up to snuff yet, and factor in the calculated obsolescence and life expectancy, it could become quite the money pit. Plus your still on the hook for whatever the basic fees are if you're tied into the grid. And if you have to pay someone to do the work in a...
