    Cobra 87 GTL No TX Output

    This has happened to me a couple of times. As I usually don't remember polarity from the time I pull and check them, to checking and inserting the next cap, I usually mark the caps with a mark either toward the back of the radio. Takes me quite a long time to re=cap, but I have also run into bad...

    Cemeteries on the Air?

    Virginia City is a neat little town. Comstock lode was an important historical event for the US. It's been a while since my wife and I visited, but we really enjoyed it. Rooms were like $25 a week, and all the conveniences of home...community bathroom down the hall, adjustment of room temp...

    SBE 100X microphone

    I think you are correct on the relay switching. I don't have any radios that have that feature. I was kinda hoping there was a magic pill so to speak, as the mic sounds pretty good. I will probably just try and sell the 2 I have to someone who might have a radio that could use them. As it is...

    SBE 100X microphone

    Well, I've seen a couple of threads on this, but not seen any real solutions. Trying to wire an old SBE100X to a cobra 4 pin. What I have done, is wired the shield to pin1, the audio to pin2, the TX on pin3, and what would be the RX on pin4. With that configuration, no receive, but do have TX...

    Winter is coming!!!

    I went deer hunting one time with my brother and dad when I got out of the Army. I got a deer, mule deer here I the west, and that was the last time I ever went. I had bad feelings after seeing the poor deer riding on the hood of my jeep all the way home. Hunted birds for a while, but found...

    Source for LED light ring for controls (aka nitro knobs)

    Not for everyone I guess...those south of the border guys really can bling up a radio tho. MRX has some wild stuff.

    Small heat sinks on pills

    I like the way you turned the buttons upside down...that way you don't have to stand on your head to read them:giggle:

    Mixer IC I think

    yeah, I had a lesser quality one, the kind from overseas, and it had issues as well. Found the one I have on the bay, industrial quality, and it looks cool. Not quite as old as me, but close

    Mixer IC I think

    :cool: I can barely work with 1/8 watt resistors my friend...I'm using this now: And with my fat and old shaky hands... I think I need to go with something a little bigger although it's a good idea.:D

    Mixer IC I think

    8.6 is the closest I have, I will go look for some. seems digi-key only has surface SMD

    Mixer IC I think

    Let me see if I have one. 9.6 on the dot?
  19. Smokinone

    Mixer IC I think

    The base is at about 10.4V, the emitter at 9.7V and the collector at 13V. That all seems within reason...I think

    Mixer IC I think

    I wonder if the R310 at 470 ohms is failing. That is the 7.6V source, and it's at 9V?
