Ok I guess what you mean is I need to ground my radio in the garage to a earth ground at a electrical box and recheck it? Thank you for the help, I need it.
Wow thanks for all the information which will take 10 beers to compute, It looks like the new coax I purchased, which I did read as many reviews on this brand as I could find, were all good. They were probably plant reviews from the manufacture. Just throw money at it until it works! Kind of...
I guess that is a big problem, I have 130 ish feet of new coax which I really don't know the quality of TRAM 8X-B, I was surprised that my SWR at the radio went down from 1.75 to barley a movement after putting it in. I posted this and got a lot of opinions on this a few months ago, wow it maid...
I took my meter out to the antenna, I hooked it up with 1 foot jumper. I calibrated meter and checked power and SWR. SWR went up to 1.25 from 1.1 the power went from 4 watts to 3 watts. Hmm is that normal or is that a ton. 25 percent power loss. I am just on 11 meters, and did check the forum...
Wow, Had one of these installed in a Ebay Washington I had purchased, I couldn't find any codes or numbers to tell about the goofy sound it made. I turned on another radio and gave it a whirl, Wow a clopping horse that gave a winnie at the end. Wow kind of mid evil sounding. I would be...
OK. I've heard of a silver Eagle. I now see what you mean. I love the radio as a occasional release from from my work. I am very lame when it comes to radios, I work 12 hours a day on bloody aircraft instruments, Our company is not rated for radios, so iv'e never worked on one or never cared...
Just a big thanks to all who helped on this project. It was worth 30 bucks I guess. Got to give a big thanks to Matt LC. Who fixed the last problem with my mis wire, He is the best. Thanks again guys.
Thanks guys, couldn't find an exact match to keep it original. I popped the 4 bucks for a used one on ebay. Its used and original, I can make it new. Thanks to all.
Hello, Does anyone know where I can buy a 8 lug Terminal board for the D104 mic. Did some searching, cant find one. I know its old, however I'm sure many folks still need them. Seen and old used piece of crap on Ebay
no thanks for that price. Thanks everyone.........MM
Thanks guys, After a dozen beers I did rip this mic apart, Wow it has an original crystal
element, I plugged the head on another stand and wow it works.. Maybe it was worth the 30 bucks. I can salvage the stand, the meathead who wired it had pinched every wire from the cable. Stripped it back...
Yep, It is another Frankenstien, The dumb switch is in the way of the circuit board, I trashed it. I stripped every wire of the amp and terminal board, and well documented
all. No wires from the stand match any color code on all my schematics. They used band aides for shrink tube, Hey its a...
Just bought a D104 on ebay, My bid was the only one. (hmm) I did not notice it was a G stand. I just wanted a potential crystal element. Well crap, What a surprise, The 5 pin jack is weird and dont fit my Washington.
Yes it has a 3 TB circuit board in it. It has a battery, And what I read it's...
This is a very ancient post. After reading it all I realize My FCC license is trash. Mine was issued in 1981. A piece of thick paper in a wallet after ten years is a goner.
When I requested a replacement, the response was NO its now combined in your
pilots license, no need for a separate FCC...
