I have a Realistic TRC-465 that has the PC122 board in it. I have installed the expo 100 kit in it and I am having a little trouble getting the proper frequency to channel relation. The regular channels are fine and the clarifier slides like it should. But the high and low channels seem to be at...

Does the Cherokee brand of radio have a website? Thanks, ED

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what brand of antenna this is. Notice the configuration of the static hat at the top. It is a little different shape than most that I have seen. Maybe this will give some clue to the manufactuer. This is the link to the pictures and the antenna is listed...

Has anyone done this mod before and if so how well did it work? "I'm sure most of you know that when you turn down your dead key using VR-10 you also turn down you peak swing. Well I've developed a simple method to enable full power swing from any power range. All you need is a 1N4001 diode...

Can anyone tell me what brand of antenna I have here? I also need the setup manual for it. It looks similar to Maco V5/8 but it has an aluminum stub instead of the wire for the matching device. It also does not have the ground plane radials. The loop is 11" in diameter. I have tried to use the...

A few months ago I bought a new Signal Engineering Lightning 4+ on Ebay. After looking at how the antenna is built I am a little concerned about the plexiglass mounts for the tuning stubs. My concern is how much UV protection do they have, considering that they will be exposed to the sun. I plan...
