Had some traces re soldered. It's Working GREAT ! ! ! Thanks everybody.

Thanks to you also Petal Steel Man for your reply.

Thanks Robb. I checked it with a meter. that's how I found out I was not getting out. It's an older radio I got in a trade. I had it in " The Radio Shop " recently and they told me they repaired the CPU and reset the CPU. They rewired the 636 mic and I was off to DX Land. I was getting good...

My 2950DX just stopped transmitting. I can hear myself through the talk back. I can hear everyone out there but no one can here me. Any suggestions?

Hi. I have a Texas Ranger TR696 FD1 CB Radio. It has a 5 band channel selector switch mounted on the back of the radio. Can I remove the switch in the front of the radio for the S/RF-SWR and put in the 5 band channel selector in it's place? My antenna Is calibrated with a good match...

Thanks for showing me this ! Just traded up to a 2970DX.

COOL THANKS FOR THE HEADS UPS ! ! !

I would like to know all about the RX75. What are they good for? What upgrades need to be done to the radio to make them work right? Do they spatter? What radios match well with them. The proper use of them. ETC. ETC. ETC. Thanks for looking ! ! !

Thanks for putting it up ! ! ! I could not get my antenna up without your help ! ! ! Now I am saving up for a Kenwood 440S. It's warming up in my garage and making my Texas Ranger TR696FD1 drift. Darn I like that little radio ! It likes to be in a room that's about 60 degres . Then it is...

Booty I like.your antenna.so much I saved it as a favorite in YouTube. It's a keeper ! I did not see a need to beef up the bottom of my antenna. I bought a Victor 4000 hardware kit from H&Y . I broke the.bottom bracket during the tear down of my antenna and had them send me.a new one. It...

SANMAN you have the right thread. I got the name mixed up because I wrote a quick responce @ lunch from my cell phone. I used three 6' pices of tubeing to beef up the top of my antenna. The diameters are 0.375; 0.058; 0.625. They fit perfectly into my antenna. The bottom of your antenna...

I had great sucess rebuilding my LW 150 last year from help from this forum. To save time and money go to DX Engenering and buy three pices of tubeing. Get the first three they offer in six foot lengths. Use this to beef up the top section. They will slide together perfectly. Replace all...

Thank you for all the feed back! I use mine only as a base. Last sat. it got over a 100 in my garage where my station is. It was on for 4 or 5 hours before I started talking on it. That's when I started having issues with my radio. Hope it bounces back after a good cool down. If it does't...

Hi. Anyone have any solid cures to stop this radio from drifting on Side Band? I got this radio in January and this past week it started drifting even after a ten to fifteen minute warm up. To bad! It was a good skip shooter. Lots a good reports DXing and local rag chew. I would not mind...

Thanks for the feed back ! I do admit that I.am GALAXY fan. I owned three AM only one's. I just whould like a radio that is microprocessor controld to stay on frequency. My Ranger radio takes ten to fifteen minutes to stablelize to stay on frequency.

Thanks for the tip ! I was also. Eyeballing a reconditioned Galaxy 949 or 979. Bye the time I spend the money to set one of the Galaxy's ; I could get a S45.

Hi. I am thinking of getting rid of my AM only Galaxy 33&66 radios and getting a S45 because of the features. Especially for the SSB. I am running a Ranger Freedom One TR 696 FD1 with a Turner Plus 3 Mic for a base and I really like it. My radio has a Lesscom channel exspander board for all...

Hi. I bought this antenna last year off of Craigslist L.A. It was taken apart and rebuilt with Penetrox in all the joints. The sheet metal screws replaced with s.s. steel machine screws. The new top tubes are doubled clamped with new s.s. hose clamps. 100' of LMR 400 is used for the feed...

Thanks for showing off your pics! I just restored a CTE LW150 with stronger tubing at the top. it works great too.

I want to get a new amp to go along with a Galaxy 99 and a 70 amp power supply. I talk on AM mainly but, I also like to slide over to SSb. I thinking of a Texas Star DX 500. I am willing to consider others. Just want the most bang for the buck and; clean instant power. Thanks for reading!
