Or could be a bad element

I did the same thing. But now I have 2 stock mics because that mod is horrible. If nobody on the receiving end has told you that you sound bad then you are not talking to the right people.

I know this is an old thread. But I tried this mod and yes it made the radio have much more avg output and way more audio but at the expense of clarity . In my opinion it was a horrible mod. The smd resistor you remove and jump is a 22k. If you look at the flow it is basically inline with the...

SOLD !!

Did you have a cigerette afterwards??

I agree that tubes are the shizzy. But, The 101 is a solid state radio as far as audio. The only thing tube in that radio is the final output.

Will also consider clean Kenwood TS-830S or Late model Yaesu FT-101E or F series.

This radio is Brand new. It was removed from box, MARS mod done. Tested, picture taken, put back in the box. It is the newer model with the updated power cord and high quality hm219 microphone. Also has Nifty manual. Great basic HAM radio that will do 11 meter. $525 plus shipping. Would consider...

Alot of stuff looks way over heated. Choke is burnt. Caps are dark.

Depending on the voltage of his original cap he can still get a can cap. Just get a higher uf and voltage rating. Or as I said above you can use 3 individual caps.

Like this. But you need to tell me what voltage it is. https://www.amplifiedparts.com/products/capacitor-ce-mfg-200v-100100100-f-electrolytic You want the same or higher voltage rating.

That is 3 60mf caps. Look for a can 60 to 100mf x3 500v or use 3 separate caps.

That's very insensitive

Back in the 80s I was in my car talking on the radio AM and while I was talking a buddy with a huge ceramic tube amp in his Suburban pulled up beside me which I didn't realize until I smelled the magic smoke coming from my radio. I looked over to a man with the laughter of a child. I was not...

Trust me. Don't do it. Spend that money on a used Yaesu ftdx1200 or any other Yaesu Icom or Kenwood.

Let's go ... you know the rest.

See, This is where we disagree. If someone came to me and the reason was the right reason. No thought. Hands are dirty and its on. But putting myself in a legal situation because of a cb radio is nonsense. Not to mention you cannot leave your house without being on camera in today's world.

And then what? Pull down the antenna like it's the 70s? Break his windows? Beat the piss out of him? Slander him on the net? None of the legal bull from any of it is worth a shitfuc% on the cb radio. That's why there are numerous channels and a power button.
