I can't see pics very well on my phone, but is it just cutting a red wire?
You like it?
Interesting...
At least you saved 30 bills.
yup, just cut or remove the red jumper wire. not really any locals here, so i wont get to test it out till maybe tomorrow. the stock mic seems real cheap, i was listening to it on another radio here, i plugged in my original rk56 mic and it sounded much better. got it all mounted in the suv.
Does the receive in SSB mode distort if you are listening to a nearby station?
Sounds good so far.
Does the coarse clarifier have the center detent like Robb mentioned? Other than the mic, does the fit and finish seem decent. Also, are the common adjustment points clearly labeled?
Well, that's all I can think of so far, lol.
remove C31 (.47uf )
change R43 (10K) to 1k
change R41 (150K) to 270K
change R47 (1.5K) to 3.9k
for some strange reason the maker got the agc timing wrong from the outset and never bothered to rectify the situation throughout the production life of the jacko,
the above mod from lou franklins book fixes it nicely, i have done plenty for locals over the years, without the mod they are useless for talking to very strong ssb stations locally or in good dx conditions,
Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare |

Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned |
