I had to do my meters like the last part you provided a few years ago. never did think about posting...

    Cobra 29 High Power mod with 2sc1969 transistor

    back in the late 90's I use to change out the final on a cobra 29 for a 1969 and put a 1957 I think it was for the driver. I would change out a resister also for more power out. forget just what one it was but it made the 29 work just fine. for some reason the truck drivers would come in and...

    Anyone recognize this addition?

    it has 2 holes in the case as if there is 2 vr's in it for adjustment. strange looking thing for sure with all the wires going to the back of the radio plugs.

    OLD Saturn 40 cb service manual or schematic needed

    AM only radio. that would have been nice to know it was a mobile 40 channel AM only. would have saved a lot of looking through manuals trying to find one for it. all I looked at are AM and SSB radios. even Nomad put a pic up for a ssb radio. I have never seen or even heard of this radio.

    OLD Saturn 40 cb service manual or schematic needed

    I went through all my saturn manuals and did not find one that showed a PB499 board. see if this one on cbtricks matches your radio. all of mine show a number like 360010A etc. the only PB numbers were PB999 and PB042. http://www.cbtricks.com/radios/galaxy_other/ssb_base/index.htm

    Magnum S9 No TX

    I know L40, L42 and L43 and L44 have to be adjusted right or you will kill the TX. a jackson has the same set up in that area and if you do not set them on each end of the channels it will go hay wire. I had a similar problem on the Jackson radios and it caused a dead key carrier on the SSB...

    Magnum S9 No TX

    after thinking about it I remember one that did not have the test point in place but there was a solder pad you can put a pin in place to get your reading if yours is like that just look at the solder pads. the pin may have been left out.

    best just to buy already made. the price of buying the parts will cost that much plus the hassle of putting the BNC connector on the coax is a pain. I just buy all of mine pre made.
