Sounds like what fourstringburn stated, high bidder retracted their bid. Doesn't take much. A simple reason like not described the way they beleive it should be or it was the same person that bid on it and retracted the higher bid and won it with the lower bid. People are sneaky these days...

If the meter works on other functions as it's supposed to, then I wouldn't think it would be the the meter, but something in the circuit for the function that is not working correctly. But I could be totally wrong. If the meter will swing all the way over on other functions, then I would start...

Have you tried a reset of the radio if it's capable of being done?? Might be worth a try. Might not help squat. Hope you get the radio fixed. Good luck.

No it can touch the mast and in fact can be bolted to the mast on the way down. You want to try and make the ground as short as possible or use as heavy gauge wire, (THHN), or solid, to get to the ground rod from your 2nd floor radio room. JMHO. Don't go with anything smaller than #2awg. And...

Look at East Penn Manufacturing, or Northstar batteries. They make some HD ones that have plenty of amperage. But why go that route?? Get an upgraded alternator and one good battery for the back and be done. Something like this.

Yes you can run a ground wire from your radio down the mast to the ground rod. I would use a good large wire, something like #2awg thhn or #2awg solid wire. Either should work well. Also I suggest getting a small ground buss bar for your radio room. This way you can ground all your equipment...

If you haven't done so, place a 5/8"x8ft ground rod all the way down in the ground and ground the tower mast pipe. You will also want to do this with all your radio equipment. And make sure the grounds tie together to make a single point for all the grounds. Most use a ground buss bar. But...

Yep. You are right StrangeBrew. And as far as desk mics, the one Grogan has the thread going about, might actually be a decent mic. Time will tell. Someone will have one here soon I'm sure and a vid will be made. Thx to the poster for the comparisons. Helps other pick a mic. I'll say...

I have one, but just can't seem to part with it. Not the best radio made, but they do work well when setup right. Hope you find one to the poster. Reviving a nearly 7 year thread you must be looking hard for one!! Good luck and hope you find one. Check your local CL, and EBay as well. Might...

Glad you got it working. Good mics for the money. A sleeper mic per say LOL! They do work well though!! Anyways, again, glad you got it figured out. Good deal(y)(y) 73 and God Bless.

Good deal. Very nice radio!! Glad you got it sold. Someone will be happy!!

Here you go Robb. Hope this helps. Found the following for cobra 4 pin mic wiring for that mic with the wire colors you have. Pins: 1. Black/Shield/-ground 2. White- mic 3. Red-TX 4. Blue-RX Again, hope this helps. Have a good one.

If all you are going to use if SSB, might just want to bump the modulation up. It's set pretty low from the factory. Mine was anyways. Maybe others can verify this as well. As for the AM dead key, like 9C1Driver said, just turn the AM power down to get your dead key to about 2 watts. Any...

Also the Optima MK3 is another radio to consider. I beleive the dealer in NZ, which is a member here still has a few left. Google Optima MK3 and the place to buy then is Yeticomm. This would be the only other export radio besides the RCI radios that I would consider. Anything else, I would...

That is the RF Limited 2018 extreme mic. They sound good with or without any echo!! Just have to set them up the right way!!

Yep. I found the same with my Sirio PL5000 magnet mount antenna versus both the K40 and the Wilson 5000. Better RX and TX range. All that I didn't really care for was the RG58 coax that comes with the Sirio magnet mount, the PL145. I just switched mine out to Andrew LMR240. Worked very...

For $10K I hope it wipes your arse and such for you as well as being a smart watch!! WTH is with people today. Way over connected we are!!!! That or some just have too much money to blown on dumb shizz!!!

That amp is not a HIGH DRIVE amp!! That is a load of BS!! I won't post anymore about it. But I'll leave you with this. That amp in no way, shape, or form is a "high drive" amp. WTF does high drive mean?? They pad the heck out of the input so you can key more power into the amp?? Or did I...

From my previous post read below. Introducing to the market the Brand New Delta Electronics M2 Amplified Dynamic Desk Microphone!! Meticulously designed and created by a radio technician with 40 years of experience with the sole focus ofLOUD and Crystal Clear audio from a classically designed...

My ears aren't real good anymore. Even at 41, they are not good. Too much loud music 20-25 years ago!! It does kill your ears for sure!!! The differences weren't real different like you said. And it's probably the radio as well. Would like to hear it on some different radios. Guess only way...
