As the header say, I want to eliminate the 5-pin so I can use my regular mics on a TRC-465. Looking ar the back of the socket, there is a small board attached. Removing the socket, you can see pin number on the socket, and with the 5 pins arching over the top they are 3 5 2 4 1 and then the...

I'm planning to hit Lowe's tomorrow while I am out getting groceries. I'm going to look there - I ordered an assortment from eBay, didn't realize it was a slow boat from China... I'm not waiting a month or so!

Ok. I had noticed the metal nut on the broken piece, that is what I heard rattle as I was moving the radio around. I was going to use a nylon nut from the kit when it comes, ordered from eBay the other day, but guessing the metal one is less prone to heat issues? The mica is still behind the...

And just being curious, I found a few on eBay for $5-$10 https://www.ebay.com/itm/TA7222AP-5-8W-AUDIO-Power-Amplifier-New-Original-Toshiba/380645703240?epid=2253528968&hash=item58a0407e48:g:P10AAOSwxudbadN~

Do I really need a mica on the front part of the metal? I could see it if I was using a metal screw, but using a nylon screw I don't see an issue. I found some mica on Amazon, TO-3PL design. I figure if it is on the face, not between the chassis and the chip, shape shouldn't matter if it is just...

I recently found the plastic screw was broken off that holds the chip to the chassis. It seems I may have lost the the mica (?) insulator sheet that went under the nut. Where can these be found? Im guessing these are not electrically insulated on the heat sink tab, which is why they have the...

Back from the archives... How specific are R-151 and R-152 at 8.2k? I have the 2.2k, but my stock skips from 6.8k to 10k. Am I going to have to order more resistors?

So basically they're going off the name "Tram" as a quality radio back in the day for low quality now?

I need to run more coax, both mobile and base. Found a source for Tram 8x-B coax, pretty decent price. Anyone use this, know if it is worth it? I know for base that LMR is better, but a 500' spool of coax for under $150 is tempting.

Just curious, has anyone ever changed from the DIN plug to a regular 4-pin (or 5, whatever the DIN needs)?

I've often wondered if CH 9 has gone back to a normal use channel. I don't even see signs along the road saying "State Patrol Monitor CB CH9" any more. Do they even have them in their cars??

Well, looks like I hit that deal. If it was easier to go pick up, it'd be a TRC-465 for $25, but I had to add shipping as I can't drive there right now. Still, a lot better than I was seeing on eBay.

I think the Night Eagles are all black with gold trim (bars, mesh, etc). https://www.ebay.com/itm/Astatic-D-104-Night-Eagle-Desk-Microphone-With-Original-Box-Nice-Collectors-Item/233371858168?hash=item36560bf4f8:g:NmQAAOSwnSJdqH8M

What would you recommend for in a rig? I obviously already have the CB, but have considered the FRS/GMRS route as a secondary setup as I hear many clubs are going away from CB. I was considering something like the Midland MXT series at first, but as I have yet to run into a group using anything...

Thanks! That is another reason I am kinda picky - I don't see the Bearcat living long in it. I had an old Cobra 19 Ultra, but the seal for the windshield frame leaked and the rain ran down onto the radio and wicked up into the covers, corroded a little of the board. Same as the stereo - that's...

Lincoln might not be too bad then, if the main controls are knobs. Side mic isn't much of an issue, as there is some room there. I am planning to rearrange and remove one of those since I have that USB Q3 charger/voltmeter piece. The odometer has flipped over once. The dash is one of the few...

I had wondered about the large cord - almost twice the diameter of the T-UP9 cords and half the length, too.

For reference of mount location.
