Hi everyone , I've had my Heathkit HW-101 for over a year now . It quickly became one of my favorite radios . I know it was made from 1970 to 1983 ... but I can't seem to find anything that can tell me what year it was from . I've tried looking for a serial number lookup site , but I haven't had...

that was very helpful , thank you very much

I have a PAL VCO ... it's the D5 model , and I'm not finding a lot of information about them online, or much of anything about hooking them up in a radio . So I figured I'd ask a question here and see what I can find out . I have three 23 channel base stations , and I'd like to try this out with...

Here's a shot of the box that the radio came in

I'm having an easier time finding information about radios like the ARF-2001 .... and there were only a thousand of those made ... lol

Hi there everyone , Has anyone here ever seen or heard of a Sanyo TA-1000 , 23 channel , CB radio base station before ? I recently bought one ... still new in it's original box , with it's original stock mic and hardware ... and it's in "Very New" condition . It works good ...

This is still available

I have a GOOD WORKING President Washington CB Radio Base Station that I'm selling . This has a 5 pin mic jack , not a 4 pin . But it does have the President name on it , and not not Uniden . This radio has recently been to an experienced radio tech and checked out , and everything is fine . I've...

whatever the case , I'm pretty sure that at least the white wire goes to pin 1 ... the rest of it is driving me crazy ... lol

so far I've tried : First attempt Pin 1 - White Pin 2 - Black Casing - Shield & Red 2nd attempt Pin 1 - Black Pin 2 -White Casing - Shield & Red 3rd attempt Pin 1 - White Pin 2 - Red Casing - Shield & Black So far , the 1st attempt was the one I had the best luck with ... it had keyup ...

Hi everyone , I've been trying to wire a Turner 254 desktop mic to my Heathkit HW-101 ... and apparently I'm not getting the right combination to make it work . I have the Turner Mic Wiring book ... but it doesn't list the HW-101 in it , and I haven't had any luck finding anything online for it...

I know the radio itself was constructed by an individual (and whoever built mine did a great job) . But what I was wondering , since the kits were made from 1970 to 1983 ... is if there is anyway to be able to tell a 1970 model from a 1983 model ? Like a serial number , date stamp , updates to...

I recently bought a nice Heathkit HW-101 . Since these were made for so many years , I was wondering if there's any way to tell about what year mine was made ? Thanks

No , the speaker is working fine . I have an Astatic Road Devil on the RCA Co-Pilot and everything is working fine . But the Road Devil has really low transmit audio because I have to keep the slide switch on the side REALLY low , or it starts squealing .... and then it still squeals sometimes...

I actually thought the same thing too . I'm wondering if the Shield & Blue may not have a good connection . But I've been too busy to check it since I posted this .

Well that didn't work , but thanks for trying . I have no idea ... but I know I need better audio in the mobile than my constantly squealing Road Devil mic . These newer Astatic mics are crap anymore . I know I can wire it up to my Cobra 29 LX ... so I guess I'll take the Co-Pilot out and retire...

Guitar_199 , according to what you shared ... Pin 1 and Pin 4 need to be reversed . I'm warming up the soldering gun now . I'll let you know how it goes . Thanks

Hey everyone , I have an RCA Co-Pilot 14T302 that I'm trying to wire an Astatic D104 M6B microphone to ... and I wired it like my Road Devil is , which is : Pin 1. White Pin 2. Shield & Blue Pin 3. Black Pin 4. Red the mic has transmit , but the radio isn't receiving with this wiring code ...

My "Radio Doctor" thinks it might be the microphone ... I'm at such a loss right now ... I have no idea where to start anymore .

The electrolytic capacitors were my first thought . That's why in my first post I asked "Is it Electrolytic Capacitor related , or does it have something different going on ?" . With these older radios , the electrolytic capacitors are almost always the culprit when something goes wrong ... lol
