CW- I am not trying to stir things up but... it sounds like you are reporting: The Military's new state of the art system is so fragile that a freebander could interrupt crucial communication? If *I* were in charge of critical Military communication, *I* would recognize the FACT that 11...

I would point out that, at least recently, the FCC seems to only care once you have stepped over the 28MHz line into 10 meter territory. I am not sure if this is because the HAMs reported it and did the investigative work for the FCC, or if the FCC has just given up on the 27.405 to 28.000 free...

Here a review with pics if you have not already seen it... http://www.cbworldinformer.com/200107/200107.htm 73 riq165

Yes. See link below curtsy of cbtricks.com. http://www.cbtricks.com/radios/galaxy/dx959/graphics/dx959_ept069610z.gif 73 riq165

Inquiring minds need to know... which board? :-) 73 riq165

Sounds like R619 is not installed. This link from CBTricks.com should clear things up. http://www.cbtricks.com/radios/cobra/200gtl_dx/200gtl_dx_freq_conv.htm 73, riq165

How do these Export Grant receivers compare to the Grant XL? Are they made by Uniden or just use Uniden parts? 73, riq165

Hey SK- I was not picking on MR-420, just pointing out that "good quality american made products" would not include Uniden radios. Browning GE's yes, Uniden no. :-) BTW Uniden is a Japanese company with a subsidiary Uniden American Corporation here in the USA. I am not knocking Uniden...

"Just another example of good quality american made products that are almost a thing of the past now." Well I don't know what radio your friend is using, but the 858 chassis was not made in America. Japan if I recall correctly? 73, riq165

Hey DTB- Thanks for considering it. Always nice to see a product developer asking questions and listening for feedback. Keep up the fine work. :-) Just to be clear, I was not suggesting that you incorporate all those features in your software. I was pointing out that with the addition of...

Looks good DTB! If I could add one item it would be a PTT button (hot key) to key the transmitter (maybe a time out timer but that might be asking to much :-)) If that were included in this software combined with IP Sound and VNC you could have a nice little remote CB base to use from work or...

Thanks for doing my research for me Freecell. :-) I found what I remembered, hopefully this link works... http://www.box73.com/cgi-bin/box73/734980?dGkooFNP;;18 73 riq165

Well if you really want to roll your own, you might try the SSM2166 which contains all of the goodies you would want (and some you don't want, noise gates NEVER sound good) in one package. Here is a link to the data sheet, complete with artwork to for the evaluation board...

Receive Tone Modification: Placing a 0.0047uF cap from R133 (the side opposite C26) to ground cleans up a lot of the white noise. I ran mine to the "non functional after modification +10kHz" switch so I could switch it in and out. 73 riq165

The output filtering in any clipping system is the hard part. If you do too much filtering of the generated harmonics, you are undoing the clipping and the output will overshoot. Once it overshoots... well then you have failed to achieve your goal. Properly done, (the knobs are not at "Eleven")...

Actually, the DSP IS a clipper. Clipping, although it gets a bad rap, is the single most effective tool one can use to increase loudness. If you don't believe me hook a scope up to the audio output of your AM/FM broadcast radio. Lou's DSP design could be better if it included an...

Hey Drifter- Since no one else has chimed in I will block quote from the now missing Grant XL club website. As most here already know the the XL and 148 are basically the same radio. I checked the schematics posted on CB Tricks for the 148 and XL (also checked the 296) and the cap numbers are...

I failed to mentioned that I replaced the rx/tx led with a blue led that is only on during tx. There are red/blue leds out there, search the computer case mod sites, but all the places I looked were back ordered so I just used the single blue for tx so this would not become another radio on the...

Hey Phil- I recently installed a blue display in my Grant LT. I got my display from www.westgateparts.com part # 4233BA-Blue-1. It is a drop in replacement... well kind of. I hard wired the dimmer circuit to stay "dim" all of the time to keep the display from being too bright. Blue LED's have...
