    Who knows what this is called?

    I gave up hunting for it, I'll make one too. I got them out and back in, that faceplate is a bit of a pain to get off and I've got other stuff to do, paying stuff. So to the side goes my junk.... again... and again... But I shall take a socket tomorrow and try that, that's a pretty good idea...

    Who knows what this is called?

    Possibly if I had a pair that small. Lately it seems everything I need I don’t have and my mind is in 40 places. Plate full, I believe they call it.

    Who knows what this is called?

    If that fits the mic socket, I have one. Those nuts on those control shafts is much smaller. I believe I found that one for the mic socket at Ramko…

    Who knows what this is called?

    Correctly, I’d say yes. I got tired of looking for the tool though, probably faster to just make one. It’s not like you can call the factory and say “hey man, how’s bout you send me one of them there funky little tools”. Might as well call it a service manual, seems as hard to get, an actual one...

    That would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    Who knows what this is called?

    No, it's from my fire victim, I was going to attempt to convert it to a 4 pin mic socket but uh, nah. Forget finding that tool that small. I'll just make my own...

    Who knows what this is called?

    I have been using a uh, uh... a pick that's curved on the end. I'm blanks today. Anyway, not hard to hook it and make it turn but I know there's a tool for it. I was thinking spanner and castle nut but that just didn't seem right to me, thanks NightThumper. Now, off to try to find one super tiny.

    Who knows what this is called?

    I’m literally beating my head into the bench top trying to remember what this is called. More importantly, what the tool is called that is used on these AND where to find it. Somebody help me out here before I black out. This one is from an AnyTone AT-6666, used to hold the controls in...

    When you drink to much!

    I'm pretty old, not as old as many here but I'm not wet behind the ears anymore. It's coming for all of us sooner or later, some sooner, some later. Some of us are just tired and will accept sooner before later...

    When you drink to much!

    Some of us would welcome death if not for the pain it would inflict on those left behind that actually care. I imagine seeing it daily will definitely take a toll on you though. Some people eat their emotions, I guess some buy radios - I do both unfortunately. Agreed that you need a hobby...

    38LSB

    Yeah but there was less there, I could at least understand what people were saying. Maybe one day I’ll pick the mic up…

    Lower voltage keep current

    That's funny right there...

    38LSB

    As of right now, 7/11/21 @ 9:00PM eastern time - it's rolling hard on 38LSB. So many you can't hardly understand anybody, it's a pile up for sure.

    Galaxy DX-2547 suddenly virtually no output

    But, not trying to go against you here, if you look back to post 1 he says he hadn’t used it for a few weeks. So he turns it on and has the low output issue, he then changed the mosfets and still had the same issue. To me that says that up until he changed the mosfets he hadn’t done any work to...

    Galaxy DX-2547 suddenly virtually no output

    Maybe it’s related to drive.
  16. TheRealPorkchop

    You know you have too many radios...

    I think at last count I have 35. And looking. For more that’s hidden and more to buy. It’s cheaper than buying used Landspeeders. Low miles, BS.

    Galaxy DX-2547 suddenly virtually no output

    Did anybody else read the title and think “suddenly bad solder joint” or was I alone on that.

    Transmitting on 15 channels.....at the same time?

    For a minute I thought OP was talking about 47 Tango Charlie. That little “wide band” thing is interesting, one could use that to annoy 47…hmm.

    Stryker 955 NPC/swing mod

    Well I do not know, I did not confirm that. I did confirm that jumping it (removing it actually) did work and seems to work very well. I've never done the NPC where you've listed, I've always done it on the back of the board.

    Stryker 955 NPC/swing mod

    I can confirm that removing D28 will kill AM on a Lincoln, don't know about the Stryker though.
