Around here that same unit but not nearly as clean sold for $220 and an a much more beat up unit for $175. Dx500 also went for $375 (ancient,rusty cover,bent up sink,no proof working). I do think that is on the high side, but he's a good salesman on ch 19 to locals. I personally think...

Wow, do I have to show/explain everything to you, sounds like you have far less knowledge in this area than I do. Which makes me wonder why you even posted. Oh....ya sounds like picking a fight or starting an argument. If I have to explain laymen s terms to you , I don't know where I should...

Wow, easy guys, I didn't mean to start anything. I would never put an instrument at risk, don't have that kinda money to risk, nor am I that crazy. I've read several posts where experienced users have stated you can , as well as the manual. I was just looking for an informed first hand user...

Thanks for the replies. I used an LC meter to measure . Just trying to make sure everything is balanced, or find out why there aren't. No big deal, that's why we have professionals to do this right. Just thought there might be another use for the 269.

I am wondering if someone knows of a link, thread etc. on a how to and methods of tuning amps with a MFJ. 259. Especially combo boxes. Should you do the driver isolated or can you do it intact. The in between stage. I am wanting to balance several Texas stars and some class c units. Can or...

Thanks will do. My meter just doesn't test lower than .01uf or 10nf nothing lower than this, and I dont have a leakage meter. Appreciate the info

The LX seems to be mosre sensitive to SWR and the NECESSITY for extra or proper grounding. Both LX's have problems and the other 5 radios(148's,29 &2000) do just fine on the same antenna. I kept flippin out and bugging everybody on the net trying to figure out the LX, the SWR pot ( it needs...

I have a 29 LTD that had some blown diodes and 3 E-caps that are blown/don't test to spec/or bulging . I don't have the exact caps to replace them but I do have slightly larger new ones with either same voltage or a bit higher. 100uf.25v ........can a 220 or 470uf.25v be used...

Any examples of how these cans go bad , other than the golden screwdriver? I mean will more than 15 volts, or age , other component failure? Also what are symptoms of a bad can? Thanks, I would have never thought these go bad....

I have one of these, works very well. Its be spot on comparing to a Diamond. It has 5-50-250-1kw watt ranges. When I opened it up it has 5 variable resistor pots. a 203-204-102-457. I am wondering can you adjust the 250w and 1kw pots to to read 25w and 100w, either by turning them down on the...

Just out of curiousity on the coils and turns. Some have 4.5 turns or wraps exactly so from one side you see 4 and the other side you see 5. Then there are the ones with 5.5 wraps exactly and you see 5 & 6. I have a Uniden that has 3.5 wraps/turns, which length should the coil be exactly for...

Does anyone know what the difference would be for the C71 change. Stock it's a 10v 220uf cap, but the mod calls for a 33uf and doesn't mention voltage. A random poster mentioned 35v. From everything I understand it really doesn't make a difference as long as you don't use a smaller E cap...

Dang,, that was easy. Really appreciate that, many thanks....

I wanted to throw out a few questions for the guru's and experts on this conversion. Eleflow HFR-20w replacement for the Mitsubishi 1969 from weasel66 in England The LX came with the 2sc2314 driver and I had an older one from a Uniden The older Uniden seems to put out more power, just for...

I had the same problem, totally inconsistent. warning would go off at 2.2 on the SWR then sometimes it wouldn't at 3 or just under. Then the rest of the day it shows .3 on SWR. Sometimes the SWR will spike from .3 to 7 while dead keyin it. Nothings changed other than being mobile. Don't know if...

Wow old post, sorry for bringing' it up again. Few questions.... just like the post above. CB20w and the eleflow versions. How do you ID correctly. There is a shop called Abel near here that has them. Those monolythics are hard to find,,,, is there a good online source? I've read that just...

I am looking too, Bells came up and looks good. To be honest those prices are worth every dime after hearing some horror stories. My peace of mind is worth something too. I am waiting and searching more, when I finally read enuff reviews that have the same tone or response , I'll get off my...

Much appreciate the replies , gentlemen. Yah I'm not interested in gimmick claims nor do I need the RFX. ( idon't think, don't know much other than the 75-100w they provide) Do I need to talk that far??? Having a clean sound is most important. I guess I am learning what the stock LX will do...

Want to clean up a new cobra 29 sound quality and power. I read several threads here about 40 watt this and 50 watt here toos. Which interests me, but my concern is sound quality. I like both the lx and the NW just for use in the dark. I plan on using this in my work van here in south eastern...
