Looks to me like the MFJ-1796 on a Rohn TV antenna tower, that is basically worthless. They would have to pay me to take that down.

I was mistaken on the non pcb version. It is on a PVC core. Here is the thread, with the photos from the legendary Marconi. This may help you with your project. https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/hy-gain-clr-2-survivor.97545/#post-271702

It has been done. There were two versions of the matching coil. One was PCB, the other was a toroid. Marconi had photos of the toroidal version on here somewhere. Search on Hy-Gain CLR II. You could also try the beta match from the Penetrator, that should also work.

Every radio I have had come through here from an online retailer, that has either had the "peak and tune" option, or "truckerized" has been done wrong, or basically screwdriver'd. In fairness, I have not a radio from Bell's in here.

I think getting used to it should have happened decades ago, when manufacturers of real radios, stopped using mechanical mode switches. The toy radio makers seemed to linger onto old practices.

He isn't telling what changes he made in service mode. But the radio will do 100W PEP on 11m without touching anything. His radio in the video, shows the 10m SSB segment.

I am unable to edit my ads. Also, this is a customer consignment radio as are the other two I listed. I thought they were priced fairly. What do you think it's worth?

This is not a CB preamp as you are implying. It is most likely making the RX better than .2uV SINAD. This is not a matter of making me happy, it is a matter of you don't know what TF you are talking about.

Again, you have not used one of *these* yourself.

You have obviously, never used one of these yourself.

That is an ARR P144VDG GaAsFet RX preamp. It has about 24 dB gain with .5 dB NF. High gain, low noise.

Perhaps you will like the next Q5N2 more.

Texas Ranger, RCI, Mirage come to mind.

The RX are not even close in performance. But, this is like comparing apples to oranges.

Header jumper.

Now after giving it some thought, the failed RT1's were all"truckerized".

I have had to replace RT1's. I am guessing it has something to do with quality of the parts. I buy my parts from US distributors, not the cheapest thing I can get my hands on to cut cost, which is what Ranger seems to do across the board in a radio build. Another factor, may be the method used...
