Like I said I know that now but it is listed as a CB amp and other CB equipment, even from overseas, has always been 12 volt... Anyway do you know if there is a fix? Thanks

I bought this amp, import from Italy. It has some good reviews....... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Linear-Amplifier-26-30-MHz-300W-Microset-28-300-/331836193253?ssPageName=ADME:X:RRNTB:US:3160 I overlooked one small item, it is 24 volt! yea call me a idiot or whatever but I'm stuck with it now...

LC the local tech was working right at that coil where the main problem was and gave up. Mike took it out as you saw and cleaned it all up. This is the best tech around but he did not have a schematic as Mike did. Check out the Alinco repairs he posted, thats another one of my broke radios he...

I had heard there was a new version of the M8900 with a lot of the software bugs fixed and there was even a photo of a stack of new units ready to ship from China, but then I heard Maxlog went under. now Mike tells me they are still in business so who knows. I don't use software with mine and...

Part 2 of M8900 Repair

It's fixed! Check out repair video, Mike appears squared away for sure. Thanks Loose Cannon for the lead on getting this fixed....

LC do you know how I can contact Mike? He is not answering his email on you tube and i cannot find a phone. There is a Mike's radio and TV coming up on Google but it is not him. Thanks, Tim

Hello how do I contact you about send a radio for repair. You were recommended by this forum. thank you, Tim

VK did you do this yourself or send it off?

LC I was just noticing DTBs website was down. As far as me doing it, I'm not knowledgeable on the inside of a radio, especially these new ones with tiny components. I'm the type that would rather just pay someone to repair it. I will check out Mikes, was hoping someone on this forum would roger...

Well I could look all day and wouldn't find it. I'm going to send it off and give it one more shot! Appreciate it Tallman... Just looking on advice on good tech to send it to, seems like there are plenty here...

Thanks for the good info, it is in an open air location, i have a bar across the roll bars. I do want to give it one more shot on repairs before I trash it. I'll look up Dougs and speak with them..... Thanks

I had this shipped from over seas from a reputable shop. The radio size is perfect for my Jeep and I really like the features and the display. Receive is very clean. One issue, it looses power to the finals. I've had it repaired twice but repairs didnt last. The dealer overseas, claims its...

Just wondering if you ever solved this issue?

thank you sir, the owners manual says to trim it for the upper freqs, even has the trim amount starting with 8 inches in the ten meter part. I was only thinking of 4. Its looking really good in those lower channels down to 12 meters but I don't even go there. I work the 20-40 on 11 then 10 meter...

I have 2 of these, my home is in an HOA area so I cannot have a tower there. I had one of these mounted to a vent pipe with exactly 50 feet of coax. I have very good SWR and with 100 watts I talk all the DX on SSB I wanted. For local, it's about like a mobile. I then went to a firestick...

Well I talked to my contact again on 10 meters, he said I was 1/2 s unit higher on 10, then I was on the top of 11 meters. My SWR is a bit higher on 10 and my meter shows I am putting out 50 watts less on 10 than down on 11. Why would my signal be stronger on 10 than on 11 considering I am...

Well I finally got the Imax up, I had a delay, took a full bore lightning hit to the tower and I must say the starduster was un-damaged, lots of other stuff did not survive! So the Imax has low SWR on 12, 11 and 10 meters. I feel now that I should have cut 4 inches or so off the top as I tend...

222DBFL I do have runs of LMR 400 for coax at 175 feet per antenna. I also have surge protectors for all of my antennas grounded at the tower. I was really happy with the HyGain SPT500 and easily talked 100 miles on USB. the problem is hawks and other birds! At this height they like to land...

Well this is my first post and to an old thread but I stumbled across it and found this info very interesting and useful, so I Joined. For what it's worth here is my Skylab, starduster clone at 135 feet. I replaced HyGain Super Penetrater that was damaged in a storm. The starduster is...
