Hi,
Thanks!
I'll run that test, but I am getting a whine that runs with the speed of the engine!
What is the cure?
I'm going to run some ground straps and see if that helps?
Hi,
Thanks Jay!
I made a 12 mile CH 19 AM contact today!
Not super strong, but very readable and I was happy about that!
Looks like the mod and that little Italian Amp, is going to work!!!!
Looking to try the SSB mode, now more!!!
Here's a pic of everyone in their new homw, notice...
Hi,
Got out today and got an answered radio check on CH 19 AM.
They said the radio sounded good and they were about 3 miles away?
Dosen't tell me much but I am getting out after the mod work so felt good about that and I didn't have to send the radio off!
I'm making an Interstate trip...
Hi,
Well it's done!
The radio measured 2.5 watts on the mike and I tuned it to 1.0 for the amp.
Everything works but could not get anyone up for a check, try tomorrow!
Hi,
Ok to make this clearer, what the guy is calling RT206 Dead Key is RT203 AM PWR on my radio???
I guess after thinking that "AM PWR" would be the right pot to adjust?
Maybe I mixed my numbers?
Looking for conformation now before proceeding!
Thanks!
Hi,
I was using this photo to find the RT206 pot to tune down the watts for a KL203 amp.
Sorry this is on a Uniden 980!
When I opened the CB though the 206 pot is in a different spot than the pic?
Mis labeled?
I don't know my RT 206 pot is labeled "AMC" and where it says it should be...
Hi,
Thanks the biggest culprit is the AC Fan as I can hear the difference when I turn it off and on!
I'll look at it this weekend, and if it is a power source issue, install a condenser to the power wire!
Hi,
After installing my Uniden 980, I'm noticing some (not a lot...but)
Interference noise coming from the AC Fan, and Windshield Wiper Motor!
I am using #4 wire coming straight from battery for power and ground.
Any easy fixes for this????
