I ran across this before.
Its in the switch. I dont remember what i did to fix it but if you pull the face plate off and take a good look at the button. I seem to remember the button was the oroblem. I think i took another button off the radoo and switched them. Or something like that. Not a...
I just don't have the time for playing with this radio. So the final cost for you to own this rig is going to be 150.00 plus shipping. I'm thinking shipping will be around 20 bucks because of it size. It wont fit in a cheep mailing box so it will need to be packed up and mailed the old fashion...
Thank you Loosecanon for taking the time to write a full discription of how to take it apart. I will give this a try. I was about to give up on it and try to find another radio to switch parts but that would most likely be the same issue. Older radios and all.
Thanks again!

I was going thru some older radios of mine and found that an old 76 wouldn't TX on a few channels. It worked fine when I put it up. I checked everything out and found after twisting the channel changing control around a dozen times it started working. The control contacts are dirty inside I...
Not sure why i didnt even get one offer. I have a friend that wants a high power cb. He dont do ssb. I guess i could make him one with this amp board, heat sink and cover. Now to dig thru a pile of radios to find one with the right size chassis.
If someone makes a reasonable offer in the next...
This is the 2970 that is not a DX or N2 model. Took it in on a trade. Its a little rough looking but not too bad. It has the orange display and the heat sink is gold in color. Don't know why. I thought they were black. Its been modded to have talk-back and who knows what else.
On AM it works...
As it states this is the amp board out of a RCI 6300F radio. Has two SD1446 pills along with everything else on the board. Encluding the heat sink and the metal cover for the board.
Board number is EPA010012D.
This board is found in a few different Galaxy and Ranger radios.
And if your not...
Wow, Nobody has got a box of D104 mic parts in the closet? I was hoping someone had a nut and bolt. I'd hate to have to buy a "for parts" mic on ebay just for it.
I'll wait a bit longer but I might just have to go that route.
Hopeing someone here might have a bolt and nut for a d104 as for some reason when i bought my mic on ebay it was missing one. Its one of those special nuts and bolts that hold the head together. There is four of them and im missing one. Its chrome.
Anyone got an extra from a parts mic?
I have the gain on my mic at 1/3 on the pot on the bottom so im guessing from what everybody is saying this is normal. Last night he took the head off of mine and put it on his and his came to life.
I seen a few replacement elements on line and read some posts about an element you can buy at...
I bought a used D104 on a tug-8 stand (amped) a few years ago. I used it for a while and then put it away. I friend of mine came over this morning and seen it and wanted to try it out. I let him take it home and give it a try. He has one but he has to be right on top of his mic to be heard and...
Like I said it was a story.
Didn't think it could happen myself. The wiring would melt and catch on fire before the bullet got hot enough to go off if there was a short somewhere.
The dimmer controls everything the same. It does dim from bright variably down to dim but then the pot clicks off and all lights go out. Even the dimmest setting wasn't dim enough for night driving IMO. Now it is!
Do you think tuning this way would be better then tuning with both antennas on the phasing coax both at the same time? By adjusting the same amount on both antennas at the same time? I'm thinking by tuning them separately you would get a more accurate reading.
I'll check into this tuning...
Fuel hauler.
I drive a tractor and full size trailer normally holding up to 9500 gallons of Gas, Diesel, ethanol, AV gas or jet fuel. Deliver up in the mountains of Colorado most of the time. So rain, snow, or ice I'm driving a big bomb around and doing it with a smile. I'm just hoping that...
Nice one! I heard a story of a guy using a 22 bullet as a fuse and it getting hot and shot him in the leg. Dont know how true it was but you never know.
Well, Project done and it turned out just as I wanted. Here is what I did. If you are looking to do something like this you will need to be able to disassemble your radio a bit. Just a warning!
This is a newer Galaxy 94HP. I found that the Meter light is two led's. And behind the LED's is a...
