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...

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...

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 -jim

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...

Hey everybody. I just picked up a new meter yesterday at my LCBS. The meter is obviously a "No Frills" brand. It has no name nor paperwork. It just has a PW-1000 CN label on the front panel. This is a crossfire type of meter. The problem I am having is; I do not know how to read the damn...

Just thought I would add a little inspirational 2 cents here. If you are somewhat like me, and not inundated with "disposal cash" then you can understand frustration when it comes to your radio and your equipment. We are constantly striving for the "perfect" radio (whatever that is) and...

I have a friend who has a KLV-200V linear amp. I am not looking to talk to Africa on a regular basis. What I do want is to throw some power from time to time. I am just not well versed in amplifiers. Does anybody have one of these amps? or know anything about them? Please let me know...

Hello guys. I am new to this forum and this is my first post here. I have been talking with a fellow on the radio for a while now and often wondered why he seems to be on "ALL OF THE TIME". Finally I was talking with somebody else when they told me that he is a 76 year old who went blind about a...
