Trust me, I did not go inside this radio at all. I bought my radio used. The ALC is set well within limits(No deflection whatsoever), I have the mic gain set at 6 with the processor off. I like nice super clean modulation and I am not a power fiend. I was not looking for peak power when...

Are you talking about adjusting the power via the menu or the ALC inside the radio? No matter where I set the power via the menu (Low-High) I still get the backward swing result. Thanks for the reply :)

I have had my Icom IC-706MKIIG for about 5 months and I am getting reverse swing when I modulate. I was first told by some guys on the radio that this was happening. I put a power meter in line to verify that this was indeed happening and it is. I have a LDG AT-7000 Auto tuner in line and it...

Who is Ironhead? I searched and looked in the member list and I cannot find Ironhead. I got an e-mail saying that Ironhead sent me a private message but I could not receive it because my inbox was full. I have deleted my messages so I can receive more private messages. If anyone can tell me who...

To anyone that has a Chase credit card be sure to keep an eye out in the mail. I received a Change in Terms Notice today that says they are going to more than double my interest rate from 7.99% to 16.74%. They give you an OPT OUT option, But doing so will close your credit account with them. You...

Wow, After all this time nobody knows anything? :shock:

ABSOLUTELY!!! I agree 100%

Hi, I recently got in trade a Cobra 148 NW ST that the Nightwatch panel does not light up. The only thing I see is a ribbon cable that goes into the bezel from behind. I do not see a bulb of any kind. I heard it is a common problem for the Nightwatch panel to stop working. I did a voltage...

Hi, I have a Uniden Bearcat 80XLT and I was wondering if anyone knows how to modify this particular scanner for more frequency coverage. I have other scanners that are capable of this, But I cannot find any modification on the Uniden Bearcat 80XLT online or anywhere else for that matter. I...

Can you post the problems you are having? Tell us what's been going on from start to finish. When you were talking about crossing pins are you talking about the microphone or something else? More info please!

Seems like a nice rig, But when is Galaxy going to get rid of those useless 5-digit frequency counters? A 6-digit frequency counter would be nice.

What voltage do you recommend? It should be a 120 pf, ? volt capacitor? Say like 2 kilovolts? There was something there for sure and I do not have the amplifier to test yet otherwise I would test it like you said. What exact value component should it be replaced with? Thanks so much for all...

Ok, Here is the situation now. Here is pictures of the inside of this Kenrich Eagle 525. If you look on the "Load" roller inductor there is a missing electrical component. there is a wire on each side of the roller inductor but nothing in the middle. Could you please tell me what component and...

I am looking for any and all information on a Eagle 525 tube base linear. This is not a golden or browning linear. I am looking to purchase it, But I need to know some information first. I was told it has been re-capped and re-tubed with very little use since it was done. I need to know how many...

Thank you, I will be sure to check it out every month. :D

Thanks Woody, I enjoy your blog and read it regularly. Thanks again,

Hi, I am trying to find a Sams Photofact or a schematic drawing for a Cardon Spitfire Mark II. I have been unable to find any information on this radio, Here is a picture: http://www.cbgazette.com/cardonspitfire.html I searched through the Sams Manual Index and was not able to find a...

The new Jeep still has to grow on me a bit, All I have visions of is the new 4-Door with the tiny tires and wheels with the fender flares sticking way out past the tires. It definitly looks much better with the wheels and tires that fit. The new Jeep is still off pavement capable for sure. :D...

The thing I cannot understand is why they did not make this radio with SSB. Why build such a monster radio that costs so much money and have no SSB?

Here is my post on QRZ: I am a Technician and also a "Chicken Band"(Citizen Band) operator and proud of it. I wish people would take all of that negative energy and teach people about radio instead of crying about the demise of Amatuer Radio. There are bad radio operators on every band, But...
