Hello everyone, This one I have had since about a year and a half. From the previous thread, I did end up getting that NTE294 and flipped it as needed to replace TR50. Good news is that Transmit works no problems. There is no receive at all. Dead in the water on all modes. Even PA mode you can...

Hello, For whatever reason, it seemed like it was hard to find any pictures or at least some better visuals on how to do the clarifier. I did it the best I could, and attached the pictures. --------------------------------- Thanks to Nomad for the help on going about the modification.

Hello fellow CBers! :) This radio seems to not let me go to the 10mA driver setting it calls for. The lowest it will go is 30mA. The Final in the manual said 100mA and that can be easily set, just the driver side will not. Otherwise, the radio is working but would like to set the bias right for...

Hello everyone, Got a President Jackson that has some kind of a receive issue. Some stations sound very raspy, while some other stations sound ok. It seems that the stronger stations that come in suffer the problem with the raspy receive on the radio. Same thing was kinda happening on my...

Hello, Friendly reminder to make sure your antenna connectors are clean at the radio and not loose. I should of caught onto it sooner, but I noticed something was wrong when my amp was randomly clicking while I was transmitting on SSB.. I knew to stop and check connections. Sure enough, the...

Hello, I put aside the President Washington as it still exhibits the same issues even after replacing the diode. I will try it another time.. For now I got out another radio, a President Grant that has the dual finals and the low-mid-high switch up front. TR35 at some point called it quits...

Got a Cobra 146 GTL that works great, but the thing will drift off once you have it set right side up... But since I adjusted it with the radio upside down, it will stay on frequency and not drift off... Flip it back over, its off lol. Even with the covers on, you can flip it either side and it...

Hello, After recapping the radio, the radio works great on receive and can hear stations no problem. The issue is when you transmit, it is very low AM power, down to under a watt. SSB Never sees passed the same. To be sure, the Driver Bias you can adjust, and set it to the 40mA, but the Final...

Today my brother sent me a picture of a couple of radios and asked if I wanted to throw a bid at them. He and his family were at one of the local auctions a couple of towns over. I of course wanted them! A bit sad that nobody even wanted to throw a bid at them, so my sister in law got them for...

Hello fellow CBers, Got a Uniden Grant XL that I am looking to do the clarifier mod. After looking for a bit, it seems that there is a few mods you can do for it, but the only one that made sense to do was the following: Jump r175 remove r100 jump d51 remove r139 remove r44 disconnect...

Hello, I have a couple of the RM Italy 203P amps that I bought nearly 10 years ago. They are still working fine, but I want to at least acquire some parts like the relays and also the transistors. I did buy some ONSEMI 13N10 transistors, but a set of 4 for now. I was reading and it mentioned...

Hello, Time is quite interesting, but to make a long story short, I remembered my password! I didn't really try to figure it out in the last 10 1/2 years but today I decided to see if I could get back in here. The other month I was doing another search for something I was working on, and I...

Hello, I repaired the clarifier to its original state, and it works great! :) I figured after fixing it that it would get rid of the issue its having. When you are on the channel selector, its the same for multiple channels. Example, channels 1 & 2 are the same, 3&4 are the same, 5&6...

Decided to go on a pawn shop hunt for miscellaneous electronics, and to my amazement there was a Galaxy 949DX, one of the 2004 models. Looks like someone changed out the knob for a Unident Grant knob. I bought it for $50 and took it home. Now the crappy part is that for some reason none of...

Yooo, Figured id throw up a discussion and see how the rest of you feel. Today I got woken up when the band started to open up on channel 38. I heard your normal DXing happening, but then out comes a random guy poking some fun at Indiana Jones from Lake Michigan. That guy basically sat...

Yooo! I was happy to make my first CB DX today. :) A fellow from Tennessee and Alabama answered me back. I also made contact to Indiana Jones from lake Michigan. :D Glad to be a part of the DX action. Handle here is Rad Man 775 of Nevada. See you out there on 38 LSB sometime!

Hello, Looking to buy a watt meter and a dummy load. I was wondering which watt meter is recommended if I just want to see power output of my stock CB. Maybe a meter thats accurate. Is having the ability to read forward/reverse swing necessary? Also, will any cheap dummy load off fleabay...

Hello, I am wanting to adjust my deadkey on my Cobra 148 and my Uniden Grant XL. They are the side mic models. After reading some on the radios I believe VR10 adjusts AM power and VR11 is SSB power. My question is, how or is there a proper procedure to tune these? Do you have the mic...

Hello. I was looking into both the RM Italy KM-203P and the KM-200P. The fellow who sells them on amazon.com doesn't have any of the KM-203P left, but has the KM-200P ones in stock.. Both amps appeared to be similiar as far as specs. Is there any real differences between the two? Thanks. :D

Hello! :) Been surfing this forum for a few months now and figured it's time that I joined up. I have been interested in radios since I was a kid, and kept them with me to this day. I first started on my father's CB radio he had, and it's been grown ever since. Already have my ham radio...
