Thanks that's makes me feel better. That will be the 1st cap I replace, then test to see if that was the recive problem.

That's alot of if's...the post a replied too was about a typical eBay pitch. Is it wrong to expect to get a a radio in really great shape if that is how it's posted? I understand the crooks have ruined most people from accepting returns. I have never had to return anything. I have only had a few...

I never really thought about like that Yes I have caps coming. Being a master Electrican, I understand the only fact about electricity is that it's all based on theory. That's what makes it intriguing, I always want to know how and why. I will find out (learn) what c104 is for.

Yeah I don't believe I'll be using them for aviation, as I believe only fools and bird poo fall out of the sky. A local here has icom 706 mark 2 for sale, he said if I get my ticket he will sell it very cheap seeing how it would be my 1st ham rig.

I thought it might be glue, I have never seen this much before. I can soder, and have re caped a radio. I just have not seen a cap that has failed so i wouldn't know. It really sounds like poo when the NB switch is closed. Where I'm at there is a little noise that this radio is picking up...

I have been studying for a ham ticket, that's the direction I'm headed. I have been using them on an rf sample apparatus I made, they work great and are in new condition. They do get a little tight after having them on for a while. I may sell them, it's a shame that guy cut the mic end off

Yeah, the very reason I don't buy used from eBay, unless a return is available. I understand un truthful people have made that hard for sellers. I won't even buy anything new from eBay with out accepted returns. Just the way I am. I try out everything before buying used equipment, if not I...

I just picked up an older Washington in really great shape, also got some kinda scout amp from a storage room. This Washington has something that doesn't look right. "See attached picture. It's labeled c104. I was wondering if this had anything to do with the recive. The rx sounds very narrow...

Im going to direct inject my 2k via c174. I watched a video on YouTube. I have a couple of questions about it. I i. I will post a link to video. 1. It says to use a dptd switch. I think that should be a dptd switch? 2. I'm going to use a 1/4 jack, this video only shows hooking up one wire to...

Someone at work gave me a David clark h10-13.4 headset with a mic. I know these are not ideal for radio use but in would like to try the mic out. When I got them there was no make connector for the microphone. My buddy said he cut it off to use on something else, but it didn't work. I'd like to...

Is this the same 955 that been out for a year or so?

I'm a huge stryker fan. Have had the 655 for a few years. Still cant explain why I didn't get the 955 , being I love to work ssb.I really want a 955 for ssb but I have been reading about the Magnum 1 and the optima mk3. I have never heard either radio on air(that I know of) or even put my hands...

I have a 404b, this is first I've ever read about these old mics. Never tried mine. It being a "b" model, I may have to try it out. Great info.

Not Being A Tech I Don't Know How The Tune Would Be. Compared to my other radios this radio is a ssb beast. It has great modulation and receive is good as well.

Yes a small one

Yes I was bucket mouthing with some locals tonight and the center notch was xx.xxx1. So that's the fix. I also have a RCI 6900F 150. Pretty much the same radio too. It has the notch, it's not as tight though. This one has echo. All of 12 bands on the same knob.

I have been using it alot since I hooked it up. Nothing but good reports. odd thing is I always wanted the 148f gtl. So odd I came across this. I have found alot of goodies at that market over the years.

Yes that's what will have to be done. I hoping there would be some kinda " rubber band and popsicle stick" fix like my dad would say

Yes here is one I just took

I had the issue with my tfc-3001. Made a wire and plugged it into my small power supply. The small one because it's 12vdc at all times.
