It was rather a mixed up day for DX what little time I had to play with it !

I find myself on 375 alot also and there is some good sounding radios on the channel. Beats the trash on 385 !

Thanks for the input of info because I have had no electronic training at all, just the bits and pieces I've picked up along the way. I wished I would have pushed myself to learn more earlier because it would have been a good retirement job setting at the bench and restoring some of these radios...

I check around on35-40 lsb. I heard some activity earlier today but couldn't get a come-back. But after hearing you guys in the forum I'm beginning to realize it isn't just me. But this stinking valley doesn't help any,so I feel good when I do make a contact.

I keep thinking about improving the receive on my DX 2547 and have been told Germanium is better than Schottky as far as the diode replacement goes so I thought this might create a interesting discussion amongst the experienced repair techs. I figure it is better to make all my mistakes on paper...

Thank you that is encouraging info because I bought the 2547 because I was tired after buying 2 wore out old Uniden 3 button Washington s. But that was 2-3 years ago when skip wasn't really rolling so it got put on the back burner. And now I would like to make it shine. And Brother DX is...

Conditions not that great this afternoon but did make a Texas & I think a California contact on the old Cobra 2000. Might get better later when I'm at the Grand daughters Volleyball game but that's the way the cookie crumbles ! LOL

I feel exactly like you when it comes to shipping damage. That's why my radio repair work comes with my hand delivery only.

I already own a DX 2547 I bought new and will say that it isn't a top shelf radio but for $100 bucks you could afford to spend a couple bucks in it to iron out any wrinkles. I've spent $250 bucks for a new radio I consider Crap that needs more work. My DX 2547 has only the clarifier unlocked and...

Sounds like a nice deal for someone !

That reminds me of the time I spent in Thailand during the Monsoon season. Nothing like laying in a damp bunk. I sure don't miss that place or seeing them eat Rice Bugs live. LOL

Well was on the run for parts for repairs as usual and that McKinley was banging in the UK on 37 lsb like it was next door with a low noise floor. Also seem to be hearing a lot of Mexican, more so than usual. It will be my luck when Monday rolls around DX will drop out. But at least my kitchen...

Had to laugh reading you guys post because I had to run to the big city today for a doctors appointment and gather supplies I needed from the city area while I was there. The mobile wasn't for crap today when I tried it so it was taking care of business as usual. Well when I got home I took my...

It's been that way around here the last few days. I turn the radio on for a few minutes and right back off. Too many projects cooking to wishful think.

I was looking at a Royce 642 on ebay and was toying with the though of buying it. I'm glad this post brought me back to my senses ! LOL

Anybody seen or heard from ForestRunner98 ? He use to be regular in here but haven't seen much of him lately. Hope he isn't under the weather !

My very first cb radio was a Royce mobile and it must have been cheap because I didn't have much money to invest. It never gave me any trouble But then again I didn't know much or push it to it's limits. And it was a 23 channel radio. I can't remember what ever become of it. Some said they were...

Sorry to hear about your set-back, we'll be praying for your equipment to survive.

I hate to admit it, We tried that ! LOL

Same here, Nothing to go down in history !
