I'll be buried with my dog. Pluto.

So is that the same mic as the extreme 2018 echo mic, but without the echo? EDIT... Oh, I see. It's RF Limited's answer to the 575. I have 5 or 6 575's and I never really cared for anything else in a hand mic. I've had hand held D104's and Extreme 2018's and they never did anything for me...

I have a talkback speaker, but it's in storage right now as I'm in the middle of a cross country move. It's fairly simple though as it essentially does the same thing as a resistor, it just moves it inside the speaker and uses a potentiometer to control the volume of the talkback instead of a...

Well... we COULD if you really wanted us to. :D

Don't get stuck on the color of the face on the president radios because there is zero difference between the silver and black faced radios. Same board, same everything. Now the later ones they changed things up and added a 6th band, ASC (automatic squelch control) and removed the PA. Again...

My suggestion is to not go overboard with the power from the radio. The finals have become increasingly hard to find. I think HG makes a replacement, but I don't know how close to drop in they are. If you want more power just get an amp, you'll be much happier in the long run.

My newest export is a 2950DX that I picked up in 2009? Maybe 2008? Not sure... Anyway... it developed an issue transmitting on SSB about 6 months after I got it and I waited too long for warranty work and I ended up sending it it Rolling Radios to look at for me as I'm not good with the surface...

Wow. Mine is 30 years old and I've never seen rust on it. They must have changed materials since mine was made.

Things are numbered differently in the 148. It doesn't look too difficult though. This is a Cobra 2000 clarifier circuit. This is the other end where it goes to ground. It ties in on either side of R425 (4.7K ohm). This is the 148 circuit. Looks like change R175 to 2.2K ohm and tie in on...

My guess would be that the potentiometer was replaced and wired incorrectly. It should be a simple fix to move the outboard wire to the opposite outboard terminal on the potentiometer and that should correct your issue.

How does the radio sound with a stock mic?

I've found this to be the best resource for 148's. I know it's for the 2000, but they are basically the same radios inside. This has MUCH more information than you will find specifically for the 148 and should get you though your issues...

CB... probably a Robyn LB 120. It was my grandfathers and he gave it to me as my first CB. Export... probably a Galaxy Plus. I've never seen another one in the flesh. (I changed the counter LEDs)

This is an old thread, but that radio is a clone of the Galaxy Pluto. Everything is the same except for the name on the faceplate and the switch for the conversion.

I have 2 meters, 1 aftermarket PEP kit, 5 slugs (5A, 50H, 100H, 250H and 500H), 2 leather cases and one instruction manual. I think I have $800 wrapped up in them? I'm not sure as it's been a few years since I picked them up, and I didn't get everything all at once.

If memory serves me, the yellow wire is for relay controlled radios and that's why it doesn't get used in "modern" radios.

You never said that. I didn't know that you had been in there. I do know that the HG transistors never came in that box and the information you did give me didn't add up. Ok now that we have that straight, I think that something inside the amp isn't connected properly. Could be a trace took a...

I miss... Common sense. It has gone completely out the window and has been replaced with insanity and wokeness.

I saw that, but it talks about stuff that happened in the 90's I believe, Nothing recent to be sure.
