Thanks to everyone for the input , this one from Amazon looks pretty trick ! Way cool. Thanks 399 thumbs up !

Was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction on finding a 10 turn pot that would work on a old school 148 GTL's clarifier , one that might fit one way or the other. Much thanks ! Switch Kit

Good elements in these cheaply built mics , they sound good ! as did the old Cobra coffin mic's , but they were built tough . In a pinch , these cheap mics will get the job done nicely.

Anytone's without some kind of noise floor on them ? Using the RF Gains to quiet things down ? Mans gotta do what mans gotta do for his own listening comfort . (Thumbs up ) I got the well known and praised AT6666 last year , the noise floor was not pleasant at all , especially after running...

Thank you much Nomad , I guess somebody just wanted to label them as a true Sideband transistor .

Real Toshiba 2879s (100 watt devices) X 2 = 200 watts . (I do not like those variables on what they call HD boxes , I agree with what Freecell and 9C1 said) Running those at about 200 to 240 PEP with a good VSWR should smoothly and nicely run those boxes for a long time to come. You want to see...

I've heard it said over the years that MRF 454's are a true side band transistor .........Can someone explain to me why this is ? ........are they any truer then the Toshiba's or any other transistors along those lines ? Is there something that makes the MRF 454's special when it comes to SSB...

Great price with adaptor and shipping ! Same board as the Stryker 955 ..........The new noise reduction on these put my Quad 6 in the backseat ! Wish this deal was around 2 months ago. Hands down a great deal on this one.

I did go over the caps and they all looked like they were correct . Failing audio chip ? interesting , this radio has the UPC 1182H ? It basically sounds like it's trying to receive when turned on (white noise) you can get above that noise with turning the volume up , it tends to knock out the...

I honestly do not know ? The power is good , alignment and transmit is good ........on the dummy load you can't even rf gain or squelch the noise out , (although you can hear them working , just not taking the noise out) it's always there and the weird part is you can kind of hear a snap...

This radio has been recapped , the power off the dual 1969 transistors is great and the alignment is right on the money . The problem is when you turn the radio on you hear static coming in with the volume turned all the way down with or without antenna or dummy load connected ? As you turn the...

Yeah , I know ! Just another old thread like me ..........I always thought over the decades that the Uniden Grant DX Classic was a ultimate CB Radio , I always thought AM/SSB/FM worked great ! Dual finals , 40 extra channels down and 40 up ! I don't think I could have asked for much more then...

First and foremost , thank you all for chiming in on this one . OT03 , pots are all cleaned and C79 and C81 are good . Shade Tree , C47 and C67 are good and no cracks . Nomad and Super Lid , I was truly hoping it was the pot but it checked out 0 to 10K OK .(10K pot) TM86 , VR7 AM audio was up...

Can't seem to turn the audio down on this one ? in other words , you only need to just crack the mic gain control on AM or SSB using a stock mic ? I really don't know , VR6 doesn't look like it was ever in this radio and there seems to be a jumper across where it would have been . As far as I...

37 years of just plane old 'plug and play" antenna , coax and SWR meters , always doing my best for getting under 1.5 around the 11 meter band . Bottom line here is this ...........I just didn't know what I didn't know ......,but by the graces of the powers that be , I never blew up a radio or...

Those are really solid IC controlled channel boards , used to put those in PC 122 type radios . (as your list says) Where did you find those ? Never put one in a AM only radio. Good luck .

Much thanks sp5it ! So if I just rewired this mic here 5 pin I would be good to go after mod ? Thanks

I think those electret elements sound damned good ? I believe they have been around for many decades ? Sadeltas , Extremes , echo type mics right ? So I could do this mod to a 148/Grant like the cobra 2000 ? just 8 volt source going through a 4.7k resistor to the audio pin inside the radio ...

I'm thinking another oldie but goodie ? Face place and switch was caved in and damaged in shipping , was able to change the switch and bend things around and get it going. Was told sounded good on SSB (AB?) and AM ..........single mosfet driven Grant LT , 1 to 20 on AM and 20 on SSB . (no clips)...
