Great to know! I'll look for those. I have one junk radio. I think I know I need more. I buy those non-working radios and there's really nothing much wrong lolA tiny 1uH or 2uH rf choke will do the same job, in series with the resistor. The ferrite bead just makes the wire passing through it into an inductor. Slightly cheaper, especially when you're buying 10,000 of them at a time to feed your assembly line. A wirewound choke from a junk CB in series with that resistor will do the same thing.

AHAHA oh crap. yes, I resemble that remark! I am up to 10 radios now and they all work. granted they're cobra 29 as I thought that would be a great place to start.Careful there, that's how I ended up with stacks of working radios in every corner, crack and crevice, and 1 donor missing everything worth anything. The temptation to turn a working radio into an organ donor is ever present, that does seem silly to me, most of the time...
