Yes. I understand. I live in the Washington DC metro area, and I do not have a radio shop to go to that I know of. I understand there is a radio shop near Wilmington, DE, which is not too far where I go to kiteboard.... but before I go there it was suggested I inquire here or make a new...

I wrote them twice to get further info. No response…..

Well, I am bracing for a response from this shop. He is an awfully nice person and I hope i wasn’t too rude or abrasive.

I ORDERED IT A FEW HOURS AGO-S350-12.

Yes it does and i just finished a note to john about the 110v grounded power cord AND the instructions for the power cord——Instructions? Huh? I asked him to send them to me before I bought this thing.

If I had a reputable radio shop in the GD Washington, DC area or nearby I would pay to have it looked at. I have to stop thinking about it before I blow a gasket.

Yeah, just working with what I have since at some point I sit for the technician license. CB is my test piece for my base and future HAM setup. I anticipate big dollars once I get the green light from uncle charlie to spend some real money on radio equipment.

I voiced your concerns in a message I drafted to him this morning, paraphrasing of course. I went to the trouble of going through the PRESIDENT company thinking they would do whatever was necessary to restore this radio or tell me it was pointless. I am re-upset and I agree with your assessment...

I wrote the company this morning and heard back from the owner. I like this one: http://www.megawattpowersupplies.com/assets/Big_New_Stick_33_Amp.jpg you set the voltage with a set screw and a volt meter. KISS

Finding an AC to DC regulated 12v 10A+ power supply is daunting. They are either too expensive, located outside the US or complicated with multiple readouts and so on. Where do you guys shop for a 12v power supply to power said linear?

Astatic (302-PDC2) . It sure beat my macrodanta meter that said i was puting out six watts on the ancient mary side. The shop said two watts, and two watts is what it read.

I swear I do not know. I was at the mercy of the President Electronics repair facility at Exit42 Electronics in Troutman, NC. I have NO IDEA what’s what. I am not a radio tech so whatever I pay for is taken on faith. I sent my radio in and got it back, have no idea. Frustrating…..though...

Shop said it was only putting out two watts and I have an Astatic multimeter that keyed at 2, that’s it, just two... He said This radio was not known for power and that’s all he could squeak out. I am looking for a local radio shop in the WASHINGTON DC area. Can’t find one near me.

My radio is fresh back from a President service center for a check up/ tune. I have a new SWR meter. The 12v power supplies Saw had similar specs as my relic, which still puts out 13-something volts. Thank you.

Thank you. My radio only puts out 2watts for some reason So this should be a good fit. The only 12v power supply I have is this ancient relic In the picture That i hope to use for the linear. Yeah, i think I will need at least a 10A power supply. I did the math. sorry to ask but what is the...

ok i followed the link to 88-radio. being that i don’t know a lot of technical stuff about linears, the ad mentions a few things to note. the first thing is: Compact mobile amplifier with switchable pre-amplifier.Mosfet transistors. Neither the output nor the pre-amp gain are variable. [do...

Well i like it. If you guys like it. It has the delay i read about for SSB. Will 100 watts draw much attention from Uncle Charlie? This is a mobile unit, i do have a 12v power supply but do they make a base model? i see it is available on Amazon, but it isn’t the pretty blue one i have seen on...

So cool. I need to find my old call sign and stuff in the attic that’s why I identified that way. The conditions for me are yet to be determined given the state of my radio. Will be listening for you and others on LSB 16, 28, 38 QSX

Hi, wanted to get a small amplifier for SSB perhaps in the 35-70 watt range For my base station President Washington that is wimping out at 2w on the AM side. Most of the online searches took me to the UK or China. What brands or companies sell from the USA? I also read amplifying for SSB...

I have lugged the radio around for 40 years and always stored it carefully. I wrote President Electronics because I wanted to sent it back to the factory for evaluation and tuneup but I didnt want to send it to just any shop. President had me send it to Exit 42 Electronics, in Troutman, NC. They...
