Anybody know of any good "reputable" shops in the South Jersey / Philadelphia area. The only 2 around here are White Dotte in NJ and R & R Communications in Delaware. In my opinion, neither one of these shops are any good for working and mod'ing radios. White Dotte is where I bought my first...
Hello Everybody,
Happy New Year to you all.
How about this one? Anybody know how to adjust the meter on the Mirage 88? The prevoius owner (was quite a troublemaker and had the meter tightened to alert him when truckers were closing in tight on him) has this meter very tight. On dead key...
Hello all,
I just got a new Cobra 148 NW ST for my brother. I have one of these radios sitting on a shelf ready to go the the hospital for a fixer-up! However, I bought this radio "brand new in the box" even with a "High Gain" Noise cancelling mic. Apparently, the shop where I bought it...
FT-311 Filter
Sorry guys
You are suffering from "lack of information" due to my failure to give some needed details.
1st, I have the switch because I am using 3 different radios on 1 antenna. That is also why the switch is first. This way, I can use either straight out signal or I can...
FT-311 Filter
OK... it seems that both of you are thinking the switch is the problem? I only guess this because you both suggest getting rid of the switch. What exactly is happening here? Is this a common problem? Sorry to sound like a 3 year old (question box). Being new at this, I am going to...
FT-311 Filter
Thanks for the response Adam.
Also, here is one problem that I am having. I have to hook the filter up in-line before the Amplifier.
Follow this coax line:
Coax from radio to a Workman 3 position switch
Coax from switch to the filter
Coax from filter to Amplifier
Coax from...
Hello everybody,
I have 2 questions here about the Workman FT-311 TVI Filter.
Question the first:
Has anybody ever used one of these filters or know anything about them? I know they are low wattage (100 watts) but I am curious if this filter is worth using when I am not running anything...
CQ..CQ..CQDX
Skip is finally in and Im glad to hear it. 38 LSB has been so loud it sounds like a freight train going through my radio. got the 420 Novia Scotia in the mobile earlier today and 2 fellows talking made an acknowlegment today from Ukrania.
73's to everybody. Hope to QSO with you...
Noise Toy
I have seen a 8 or more sound box available at http://www.dandjradiowaves.com
BUT be careful. I have been trying to get in touch with this guy to place a $200.00 + order and have not had a response from him for over 3 weeks now.

Anybody know the correct pinout wiring for a K40 mic. (the older type with internal magnet and Hi/Lo switch) and a Cobra 18RV (5pin din).
I have tried several different combinations and have had no luck. Any help would be great.
Thanks

AMPower 2 pill
Obviously "opinion". He apparently does not have the amp that I bought from Adam. 2 pills with a 10 watt drive I am metering a 100 watt DK and swinging to about 285 watts. That is using a DOSY TFC-3001 meter.
It definately delivers what Adam had promised. As for the price...
Used a 200 for 2 weeks
OK I can give you my assessment of this radio. I borrowed a 200 from a buddy of mine for 2 weeks to make a decision as to weather or not I was going to buy one. (try it before you buy it thingy)
This is what I have found:
First of all, I thought that the radio seemed...
HR2510
I just picked one of these radios up from a friend of mine. It is definately the HR2510 radio. So far, I have not found anything about this radio that I do not like. If there was one thing I could change, it would be the mic gain. This radio has a mic gain switch (on or off) I would have...
I have dealt with two different websites in the last week. I purchased an Echo Modulator Pro (for my brother) from a website called D & J Sales. www.dandjradiowaves.com, and bought a SuperStar T747 Microphone Test Center from Wholesale CB Radios (found them on eBay)
Both of these companies...
I just bought a brand new Super Star T747 Microphone Test Center. Naturally, it came without any paperwork. That's right! Not even a user manual. Obviously I know how to use the basics of the unit but, I have no idea what the 3 position connector on the left side of the unit is for (marked Audio...
Hello all,
I got a hold of an old T-UG8 Stand with the Amplifier Board added. The mic seems like it may work however, I know, for certain, that some of the wiring had been changed by a novice. What I am looking for is some help on the wiring from the shaft of the mic to the base. (Where do each...
Has anybody seen this or have an answer based on common electronics knowledge?
I have a "used", of course, DOSY PM-2001-TS meter. The SWR and Power seem to work just fine however, the Modulation Selection is dead.
I set the "Set/Mod" switch to Set, I turn the Dial to MOD and key the mic, but...
K40 Speech Processor Microphone
Does anybody here know if they are still available, or does anybody here have one they would like to sell. Years ago (approx. 1978-1979) I bought a K40 Speech processor mic from a LCBS. Back then, the K40 line was "Brand New" to the CB world. John, the owner...
