Need pictures!

Good point, photo records, I like!

For now, will try back to factory. Thanks again For your time!

It is a resistor, and my mic works with one leg unsoldered. Looks like I have a nice working radio! Thanks Tokin, and everyone’s help!

Here is what I have. Thanks.

Checking out a new to me, Uniden Grant XL radio this evening, and plugged in a microphone that I use all the time with the Cobra 148 GTL, and get a nasty back squeal through the mic. Doing a search for mic wireing , I do not see any difference? Anything change between Malaysia and Philippine...

I set mine right at what the manual called out for, I believe it was 105". If someone has a different number for a improvement on performance, I am all ears.

I actually made the antenna itself 1/2” shorter, and pumped it up in the air plus 2’ to 27’ to the coax connection. So far, my receive appears to be a little quieter with the choke. As far as SWR, if I shorten Additional 1/4” I should be at 1.1 channel 1& 40 perfect. Next time it’s down. When...

I had my antenna down briefly to add a rf choke, Adjust total length down another 1/2" to get a closer SWR match, and to add another 2' in total height to the antenna off the ground. To answer a few of Marconi's questions: Standing on the ground, resting on the coax connector to top of first...

And that is how the earth has always rolled. Let’s see Yellowstone blowing it’s top In the near future and we will really see weather change fast.

The word on the airwaves in Wa state is 50% Human started fires. I am sure same in all states. And not mainstream media airwaves.

It is the frying bacon type sound. Worst during The middle of the day. I’ll try driving around The neighborhood as you suggested. Is the power company obligated to fix these problems when they happen? Also, how far away would this affect my station?

I believe the quietest radio I own is the 148GTL, It is my favorite because of this.

Never noticed any difference in the rain. Yes, RF noise at the receiver. Station electronics grounded to a single ground rod with 6’ #4 stranded. RF noise drops full dB with PL259 coax ground disconnected at the receiver, and only touching center conductor.

I'll give that a try. Thanks again, Greg

Very cool! Thanks

I believed that my station suffered from this noise. I have about 60' running from the antenna to where it inters the shop, 30' of which is air born. I ran the test, disconnecting coax screw fitting, at the receiver, with just the center conductor making contact. Test result shows a full dB...

Turn down VR-10 to 2 watts and call it a day?

Is setting the radio to say 2 watt dead key, just a simple adjustment inside the radio?

Price didn't seem too bad, comes with wiring diagram.
