Thanks for sharing that, S&W.
There's comfort in knowing I'm not alone.

I like the Cobra 2000 and the price is/was right! Not like I need it either!

I guess we know whose wife goes to sleep the earliest.

You aren't off too far on that, especially when I have my Drake SW8 on listening to shortwave in the wee hours along with my transceiver!

David,
What's the two base stations on the bottom shelf?

David,
What's the two base stations on the bottom shelf?

Riverman71,
There is a Regency Range Gain on the left and a Realistic Navaho Pro Niner on the right. On top of the Pro Niner is an RCI 2950 (parts donor)and on top of it is the "Made in the Malaysia" 148/TR-296(otherwise known as the TURD). There is also a Motorola 440Mhz (future project) to the left of the Range Gain.
-Range Gain-
awaiting restoration (was planning to install the board from the 148/TR-296 in the case (kind of like a '55 Chevy with a Corvette drivetrain type of thing)but the board of the 148 is about the same size as the Range Gain chassis leaving no room for the AC to DC supply)
-Navaho Pro Niner-
Electrically restored and 100% functional (may be a new home for a 148 board!)
-The TURD-
Partially restored electrically. Have an issue with getting the final Bias set. It measures nothing but transmits at full power??? VR-8 makes no difference??? Tied the clarifier over to TX but not happy with the total slide. It has more slide on the positive direction than the negative direction. Trying to get that evened out to no more than 1 channel in both directions (as time allows).
-Ranger 2950-
Had it since new. It is the "Orange" display/non DX model. Crapped out about 2 years ago. (I waited too long to re-cap it and it suffered a couple of fried chips in it) It has donated many parts to keep others alive! (and delivers faster than UPS!)

There are others but this enough to deal with considering the spare time I have.
