    Mobile Ham operations banned?

    What bothers me is they make exemptions. I really don't care what your job is, we are all Human beings. If operating a radio with a microphone is going to distract me while I'm driving, a police officer will be just as distracted. If they want to try and way "he has been trained to use his...

    Looking for a DIN sized CB radio with a couple of specific features

    I think all of the DIN sized radios will have a front mic because they are designed to be mounted in dash if the user so chooses. I think your best option would probably be to look at the Lincoln II. That seems to tick all of the boxes you are looking for.

    is it a grant or cobra

    The board number PB208AD tells the tale... it's a Grant XL with a 148F faceplate on it.

    Looking for info on Texas Star 350DX

    What schematic is that? That's no DX350 that I've ever seen. This is a standard DX350 with 2 2SC2879 transistors.

    Bird 43 multiplier scale reading

    There are adjustments on the board to calibrate the multipliers. I have compared a 50 watt multiplied and a 500 watt next to each other and they are spot on with each other. You just need to make sure the calibration is correct. Also there is the possibility of one of the slugs being out of...

    D-104M6B wiring diagram for an ADI AR-147 or AR-146

    Any scans I can find of the schematic for the radio look like they were scanned with a potato. That makes it very difficult to figure out the wiring. Also I don't know if the D104 is compatible with this radio.

    Vintage CB stuff

    2sc2290 in a connex or galaxy

    I don't know that I would want that on the factory heat sink. It really wasn't designed to dissipate that much heat. It's an interesting concept to deal with a discontinued part, but I just don't know.

    Galaxy DX2517 connections for Turner model 754

    OK, that switch in the underside is for relay/electronic switching. It the mic was previously wired for an older relay switched radio, that will need to be flipped. This is the wiring for a cobra from an old Turner mic wiring sheet. Look at the 3rd column and you'll see the 25 or the next one...

    Cobra 2000 L38

    Since it's missing, you KNOW it's been messed with. I'd say it needs a complete alignment. L45, L46, L47, L48, and L38 are together in the transmitter alignment section. My guess is they all need to be looked at. Here is the service manual...

    Resque a Galaxy Saturn ept360011b

    The Galaxy Plus is almost the same radio as the saturn and the schematic should steer you in the right direction. https://www.worldwidedx.com/ims/galaxy-dx-radios-galaxy-plus.224/

    Shop Goodwill Cobra 139 description oops

    If you're talking about the "key test" he did, that's fine. They were tested with a 20:1 swr at Cobra for something like 20 minutes. I can't remember exactly, but I was pretty shocked. It was in the 148 GTL manual somewhere.
