    General Lee Alignment info

    I set the bias voltage. It was set a bit high. Dead key on low is 1 watt and on high its 4 watts. The AM Mod amp transistor is still getting really hot. Even at a dead key it heats up to the point you can't touch it.

    General Lee Alignment info

    Thanks for the info! Appears to actually be the AM Mod amp transistor that's getting hot. Any idea why that's happening?

    Uniden PC68XL tuning info?

    I'm thinking someone took out the diode for the modulation but I'm not sure where it would be? Adjusting VR5 does nothing. Also it showing about 3 kcs high on freq. How can I get it back to where it needs to be?

    Yeticom Optima 10/11/12 Meter Export Radio reviewed @ cbradiomagazine.com

    Like i said before my buddy ordered it for me from some place in Michigan. I couldn't tell you the name of the place but the radio is new and hes been dealing with the place for years. All I need really need is the alignment procedure and I would be good. Seem to think that's all it really needs.

    Just picked one of these radios up. So far so good. Only thing that worries me is the output seems a little low on SSB. Only getting about 15 watts out talking normally and about 20-25 with a whistle.

    Antenna and lightning ?

    If you take a direct hit a lightning arrester wont always save your equipment. If you are seriously considering a lightning aresster, Polyphaser is the only one I will recommend. http://www.protectiongroup.com/PolyPhaser
