    148GTL-DX Very Weak AM receive

    too bad you do not have a audio tracer so you could follow the traces and see just where the audio is dropping out. at least that is what I do to find low audio situations.

    X Pander boards. has any one tried them

    he pulled all of his items he had for sale cheap. he told me they were not selling so he took them off and is putting up some other items that he hopes will sell. he said the old stuff he had he is crushing and going to sell as scrap since no one wants to pay for them on ebay. if you think about...

    bought a defective cannteena dummy load off ebay

    here is the info on the dummy load. after looking at it again I think I can put the bottom clamp on top and the bottom clamp will be held in place with the 3 screws that position the resister inside the tube. http://tubularelectronics.com/Heath_Manual_Collection/Heath_Manuals_HN-HS/HN-31/HN-31.pdf

    bought a defective cannteena dummy load off ebay

    I watched several of them last night but none are the cantena dummy load, total different animal. most of the ones on you tube are a bunch of resisters and mine just has one large unit for the resister.

    bought a defective cannteena dummy load off ebay

    thanks, I did not think of hobby shops. will see if there is one in my area. good idea. not sure how stainless would react to the original brass. I was even thinking about trying to put the clamp in position and see if I could solder it back together. long shot at beast. the 2 leads the clamp...

    Ranger RG-99 hacked up

    like I said you have some thing clipped or a cut trace with 2 wires from the relay soldered to it. you have to repair what is cut or clipped to make the relay talk back work properly. you have to look real close to see what is done. I am not a big fan of some one removing mods when they have no...

    Ranger RG-99 hacked up

    it looks like a talkback mod using a relay and getting audio off the mirror board. over the years I have done a few of these mods but they never looked so jumbled up. do not just start cutting it out or you will lose the receive. normally they cut a trace to the main audio feed or remove a...

    0ld style Uniden Grant. Keys when powered up?

    have you pushed on the 4 buttons on the front to see if that changes any thing. years ago I saw one that had a controlled carrier mod and they used the mod button to control it. it had to be in a certain position for the radio to function as it should. I have a controlled carrier mod on both of...

    Digital frequency display for the Tram D201 radios.

    Nomad have you found a seller for the freq counter that is fairly cheap. I use to buy them from China for about 3.00 each and now they are about 8.00 for them now from China. I may have over looked a seller that is less than 8.00.
