    Fine tune cb scam. 2 years later

    He does not have a phone number or a way to get a hold of. Only through face book. He is not real. And for a guy in business he has a awful lot of time to play on the radio... = Not Busy.

    For Sale, 7 President Lincoln and HR2510 Radios

    I do not feel the need to collect radios anymore. I have 7 or 8 Mostly HR2510's and a couple Lincolns. If I remember correctly about 4 have Chipswitches installed. A couple come with factory or Realistic HTX100 microphones with up and down buttons. But they seem to sound best with Astatic...

    I need a proper cobra 148gtl variable power mod

    Nomad I have a question. Are the double diodes used in most of the older sideband radios on the clarifier section? If so when they are missing what would the factory part number be for the double diode? And what would the outcome be if they were replaced with a 1n4148? and are these diodes still...

    The Best Kept Secret in Mics

    I am with the positive on this Mic. I may still have a couple kicking around here and always thought they had a deep clear sound.

    Looking for test point on a old Uniden Grant

    It must be Sam's 121. It is a MB8719 PLL. I believe my new problem is a bad solder connection. AM floats all over while SSB stays in tune. All modes can not be set to the specs in the Sam's 121. Someone was in this radio years ago. Unlocked the clarifier and did it wrong. They may have moved or...

    Looking for test point on a old Uniden Grant

    So I found a schematic the test point is the emitter of TR20. I am still having problems. First of all I am not using the right manual for the radio. I am using Sam's 221. I do not think the frequencies are correct. I can align it by zero beeting it against a known good radio. Of course I have...

    New Cobra 29 Am/Fm

    Another cheaply made cobra with a channel encoder the size of a small potentiometer that will last about a year. Add a push to it and maybe they will now last 6 months.

    Old style Uniden Grant clarifier unlock.

    Yes needs a alignment. I actually just fixed a botched attempt. I have had this radio probably 10 years. Bought it for parts not working. It was way off frequency. Who ever unlocked it removed and cut wrong parts. And did not jump anything. I had a 148 GTL same thing. But that was easy I know...

    Old style Uniden Grant clarifier unlock.

    Nomad these are old radios but would you remember how to get more adjustment for AM? The slug is at the bottom of L23 and I need to raise the frequency a bit. It is right at .50 when cold bet goes down to .48 or .49 when hot and the slug is bottomed out. I don't want to but may have to put a...
