    CB Tricks site UPDATES/THREAD MERGERS

    Hey Mt IT guy..... I just rcvd an email of your post and lemme just say that over the years the site has been up and down many times. It always seems to survive somehow. Anyway, I wasn't aware if it's down again...pretty sure I was able to access it not long ago, but in any event, I dont see the...

    Not positive but think I've seen maybe 3. Plus even waaay rarer is that TX1000 that I mentioned here awhile back. It looks almost exactly like the main XL1000 and it's the only one I've ever seen. On the front it says "CW TRANSMITTER" so someone suggested that his dying attempt to get the FCC to...

    Texas star thing....hey, the FCC was fully on board. I have always felt there is NO QUESTION that FCC has been on then take with the whole "10 meter"..... amps.....cb/10meter thing. It waaay obvious. 99% of all ofnit has been "allowed" or "overlooked" ornwjatever you want to call it. Obviously...

    Than Thanks. It's an AM/SSB amp. I don't know if the CW aspect is even for real but might be since this amp was apparently Mr Brewer's last ditch attempt to get them type accepted.

    No doubt on the rare...could be the only one. Not mentioned or pictured anywhere else. I still think it's possible to be a counterfeit by someone trying to hijack the popularity. Just another theory. Or could be the way see it as well. Besides this one I have pics of 2 XL600 tube base bilinears...

    Please don't call that number. I failed to remove it, inadvertently Thanks for the reply. I suggested the same idea to the owner. I alluded it to what happened with Texas star after they got busted in Vegas back in the later 90s and then after a year or 2 they made that deal with the fcc to put...

    Thanks loads for the reply. At least I know I'm getting thru now. I may as well ask you the 2 questions I have in case you might know anything regards my queries. The reason I asked about Nomad radio is I think it was him, some yrs ago, who posted an important piece about the need for a buffer...

    Nomad radio is this you here? I've been trying to get in and get thru to you or anyone since yesterday but nothing looks right or is making sense. It looks like maybe someone did reply back to up above but he's talking about pics which is not why I'm here. I think this new cheapo phone is part...

    Ranger made radios RT1 invasion

    I don't know how much it matters but I think i should add... The part you listed above has a PbF suffix. The part that I posted about here, some time ago, as being the correct usable part, as per direct word from Ranger, has a bpf suffix. Offhand I don't the difference but I know both parts...

    Ranger made radios RT1 invasion

    I totally disagree re: the 955. I worked with those radios for 2 years and I think it's laid out beautifully. I had no issue whatsoever using the controls once you get used to the way its laid out. Loved it. Very easy to operate I found it. Big screen. Good angle on the screen. It tell you what...

    Ranger made radios RT1 invasion

    Let's say it's not the right kind of mic or mic circuit per above explanation of how to use a mic to mitigate a hot switch issue. So going back to what I mentiined earlier (I think) can there alternatively be a simple amp relay remote switch be employed? You said all ham rigs worked that way, so...

    Ranger made radios RT1 invasion

    So 1) have you done all the above mods and seen a stable, long lasting box w/o issues? Do the above procedures need to be done in all the 2 & 4 pill boxes? Was I totally off base with regard to my question about hooking up a seperate "amp keyer switch"? Don't ham amps (some) employ something...

    Again, "because he was overdrivinv the amp". Shouldn't a ham know better than that just on general principles? Also, I'm not a ham, but I thought ham rigs employed a keyer circuit rather than have the radio key the amp directly. Maybe the answer to that, is the keyer circuit is built into the...

    Mr SW, you continue to "shock my waves"... That's a good thing.. I must thank you for hanging in their, with my obvious technical ignorance, you seem to allow for that and see fit to educate me on this t/s design flaw. I can't help but wonder....is there not any other way to mitigate the...

    Ranger made radios RT1 invasion

    Well Mr Shockwave, you seem to want me to engage you in something I know very little about. You insist on this design flaw & as I've said, I know almost nothing about design and/or rf engineering. But you're kinda making me know something about it, so I can't just leave it alone. I already have...
