I understand that , but doesn't the radio have a pin in it that should be already supplying power to the MD-100 , like they do with the stock mics ... and shouldn't the cord I bought already be wired properly between the radio and the mic so that they match up and work together ?

I have a Yaesu MD-100A8X Desktop Mic , I'd like to use it on my Yaesu FT-757GX II ? I bought a cord on ebay that was suppose to be able to match the mic to the radio , there's keyup but no audio . Has anyone else ever put an MD-100A8X on a FT-757GX II , how difficult would it be for me to get...

I went to a local Hamfest last weekend and I bought a nice little Yaesu FT-757GX II while I was there . It's in nice condition , and it works good ... but the meter lights are blown . I bought a bunch of "New" wheat bulbs on ebay a few years ago . But they're not any good at all , because I've...

Thanks nomadradio ... I did , I bought an RCA that is coming from a reputable dealer , and it tested at 100% on a Hickok tube tester .

Hi everyone , I have an old Heathkit HW-101 that I've been gradually bringing back to life . It's about to get an electrolytic capacitor update (from Hayseed) , and I've replaced all the tubes with (NOS) tubes that have all tested good on my tube tester . I've only got 1...

Actually the "Lock Key" button was the first thing that I checked, and unfortunately it wasn't locked. I even did a factory reset and the Mode and Band buttons are still not working. I wish the issue with my FT-897D were that easy to fix, but apparently it's going to be a little more difficult...

Hey everyone , I have a Yaesu FT-897D that I bought new around 6 or 7 years ago , and it's never given me any issues before . Then this morning I turned it on like I do every other morning , and it's Mode switch , and Band switch seem to be locked . I figured that I must have accidentally bumped...

I kind of feel like Willie Nelson now ... "I woke up not dead again" ... lol

My post may be 17 years old , but I'm not a spammer/scammer ... and I'm alive and well thank you .

I have my General Class license as well . I first received my call sign in March of 2004 ... and then I upgraded from a Technician to the General Class in March of 2007 . I spend most of my time on 40 meters , but I still have a lot of friends on the CB . So I go back there a lot as well . We...

In the older Ham radios , is it ok to mix and match you Final tubes . Not the numbers , but the companies . Is it ok to put a GE 6146 tube with an RCA 6146 in the same radio ?

That's pretty funny ... I picked up Raccoon around 1994 or 1995 . I originally got on the CB in 1978 when I was 10 years old ... and talked on my parents radio all the time until 1985 . My original handle was The Dirt Bike Kid because I rode dirt bikes all the time . I stopped talking in 1985...

What about those "DIY Digital Frequency Display" kits that are on ebay being sold by a seller in Brazil ?? Has anyone on here had any experience with those ? He has kits for multiple older radios , but none for Heathkit . Would any of them work on a Heathkit , and if so is there one that would...

I should have mentioned that . That is the issue I've been having , finding a frequency counter that will work on sideband ... sorry for not mentioning that before

Hi everyone , I have an old Heathkit SB-102 , and an old Heathkit HW-101 .... and if you know those radios , then you know they both have the old analog type dials . So you don't always know if you're on frequency or not . I love my old tube radios , so I'm looking for recommendations for a good...

I have an Icom IC-V8 , it works good except for the LCD screen is a wonky . I know it's possible to replace the LCD screen , but I've been having some trouble trying to locate the right replacement screen for the IC-V8 , and since I've found very little information about online . I was wondering...

I double checked the tube , and it has a short at pins 2, 3, and 7

It's not just POTA that gets interference . Down on 40 meters there's an ass-hat that purposely goes up and down the band tuning radios , making loud annoying sounds , and using CW on top of ongoing Nets , and over people that are just talking ... I hope to hear his radio die (or worse) sometime...

I love tube equipment , so I have a lot of it around the house , I have for years . Problem is , I've never owned a tube tester , until now . I finally broke down and bought a really nice "B&K Dyna Quik 600" tube tester . It's in beautiful condition , still has all of it's original paperwork ...

Thank you Hurricane . I've tried looking for groups before , but I don't think I looked for a groups.io ... so I'll give that a shot . I also hadn't tried looking at the components before , since I'm more of a drummer than a guitarist ... lol
