    DX88HL Meter wiring

    That fixed it! Now to find an affordable RF signal generator so I can set the receive better. I ear-balled it, as my meter barely moved even after moving VR1 to max, because the Rx was so weak... According to the manual, I need: RF Signal Generator with 27MHz AM and FM capability, Must have...

    DX88HL Meter wiring

    Ok, somehow I mixed up the wires. The meter would go backwards as someone would talk, so I switched the wires. Now it goes full swing as soon as I turn the radio on. I have a red, a green, and a black. Originally I had red and black on (+) of the meter, and green on (-) terminal. I put Black...

    DX88HL LED blue conversion

    I saw a kit a few months ago to put the blue display in these radios, but now I cannot find them. They were the segments for the freq counter, channel display, and blue lenses for them. Anyone see them anywhere, or know where to find them?

    Cobra 148GTL-DX - what did they do??

    Took them out, dk 8w or 9w, swings over 15w. Don't have a replacement for TR32 yet. Figuring the hack work in there, I'll have him do his thing now and see how it comes out.

    Cobra 148GTL-DX - what did they do??

    Awesome. The radio guy said to remove them, put the jumper back in, but I wanted to know before I did. I'm taking it in Wed, didn't want to bother him too much beforehand.

    Cobra 148GTL-DX - what did they do??

    Just acquired this radio, it is a PB010AB board. These pieces have been soldered on, back by the B754 transistor. Any ideas? My first thought was a swing kit, but usually that is over a missing jumper location. This is across some ceramic caps I think. Hard to tell, as the pieces are all crammed...

    I think there may be some chance of the big companies losing, if they use the automotive industry as precedent. The Big Three have for years tried to put a lock on the underhood goings-on of the automobile, but that would mean ALL independent shops would be locked out of them. I believe there...

    Cobra 18 WX ST II (don’t laugh)

    They did have a good mic, those grey key ones. Got me wondering if that old radio is still around, so I had to ask her if she still has it 20+ years later...

    Cobra 18 WX ST II (don’t laugh)

    All of those different models of the 18 made me go look up my old one. It was the 18 Ultra.

    Talkback disable on Ranger EB-2015?

    OK. On the DX44, using the EPT0SSB50B echo board, there is a blue wire soldered in to the board. I disconnected it, and no difference. Just a note from here - If I say green, brown, yellow, orange, etc... I am red/green colorblind, so it may even be a shade of green and I call it blue. I ger...

    Audio monito output jack?

    A trimmer to adjust volume level on it, as I imagine each radio had a little different output? I sent you a PM

    Powermax Power Supply

    I have one, running my Galaxy 88, 939, Superstar 400, plus a mobile eq and a large amp on my 10" Cerwin Vegas... granted, the stereo isn't on while the Superstar is, but still... I bought the Powermax on recommendation from on here. I want to say it was Redbeard that convinced me. I do not...

    Audio monito output jack?

    Well, the DX939 has that, but even just clicked on, volume down, I get feedback when I get the mic gain up and the D104 plugged in. That's why I like the ear bud idea, the mic doesn't pick it up as easily.

    Audio monito output jack?

    Ok, just because I come up with these brilliant modifications I'd love to do to my radios, but have no idea how to do it, I thought I'd throw the idea out and see if anyone can help me out here. I have my 3 Galaxies, a DX44V, DX88HL, and a DX939. Talkback being an issue with feedback, but would...
