Ok, so this took a little bit of a turn but thats ok. The Surecom device that you were looking at will display the frequency that it is reveiving by simply receiving it as a broadcast over its antenna (no need to directly connect anything to your setup). It's like having a receiver that shows...

Awesome!! There would be nothing wrong with getting one of the lesser expensive ones and connecting it in. For a Awesome!! Connecting it to your setup is pretty straight forward. You will need a sampler so the "full power" of the radio is not sent to the freq counter. Try searching on *bay...

This was one of hurdles that I struggled to overcome when I started working on radios a few years back. Here is what I learned. I have no idea where you are in your tech understanding so I'll start at the begining rather than getting too technical. Lets break your quesion down into 2 thoughts...

A factory 2995DX would average around 150 watts PEP. As always the problem will be that someone messed with it. I would start with an alignment to see what it could do. 20 watts on LSB almost sounds like the radio is not triggering the built-in amp.

Hey there my friend, Just how many radios do you have??? :)

1. My brother and his friends 2. 1977 3. Realistic TRC-30A with a Radio Shack 5/8 wave base antenna on the roof of the house. He added a Tuner +2 SSB mic and got known for his "big audio", haha. I still have that mic and use it often.

He is the "Mic Man"!!!

Here is a pic if the board and switch. Also, man I got this wrong. It is an Astatic Road Devil but the switch in this is the same as the 575. Thanks!!

Are you going to save me again ? :)

Hi Everyone, I picked up a 575 last night that has a physically broken switch. It is a 12 pin switch that is soldered onto the circuit board. I searched for a while and cannot seem to come up with a source. does anyone know where I could obtain one? Thanks!!

I just picked up a 575 last night with a physically broken switch and I am unable to find any of these. Do you know of a source? I just need 1.... Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I had a local operator drop off a Ten-Tec 526 with a strange issue. During transmit or receive the radio produces an ~300Hz hum that can be heard through the speaker on rcv and by others on xmt. I thought it might be in the audio circuit but when I pump in a signal in USB for...

Hi Gang, I have a PC76 on the bench needing an ailgnment. It has the PA-340AC board in it. I know it is similar to the Cobra 29 but this one has a VR7 in it near the antenna jack and I canot seem to find an alignment guide that details this board out. Anyone have the details? Thanks as always!!

You did a great job with it!!

Klondike, What did you use to clean up the document?

Hi Everyone, One the bench is a Stryker 955 version 1 and the owner complaint is that it will no longer power on. He stated that it began having issues where it would take a number of times of turning the power knob on before it would come on. I did experience this myself where it did not...

Where did you buy them from? Thx Jeff!!

I am not 100% as I am not sure I have the exact alignment guide. Attached is what I am making that decission on.

Has anyone purchased transistors from ICA Manufacturing? I used my last 1969 and 2166 last night and was looking to find a few to keep "in stock". I saw that ICA has both in the HG line instead of the Mitsubishi line. I want to trust it but you never know..... Thanks!!!

So, I fixed the power problem late last night. The driver bias is still at 25ma and will not go lower but I am willing to accept that for now. What I found was that one of the finals was bad. While it would align with a 50ma bias setting (100ma combined) it would fail once the radio was in TX...
