The glue, always gets the mic element in thoseI have two of them. It seems that one has to basically yell into the microphone to get it to actually modulate.Though its younger brother the HTX-10 works great.
I may have to bring it back out and try a different mic. (Maybe the one it had was broken.)
The battery cards we had were punched by the clerk. I don't remember that card.
I still have mine out in the shed. I used it back in the mid 90s when I first got my ticket. It worked surprisingly well with just a HT driving it..
I didn't realize it got the mic like that. :/ A shame...
I at least recapped the 1 HTX-100, and removed that glue inside the radio. There was some fixes for the radio at the mic audio. Something about removing a ceramic cap, and changing out a capacitor, and using a resistor where you remove the ceramic cap etc... I would need to find where I found that. It honestly seemed to of helped, but I will need to compare it to the other HTX-100 that is still left alone without the changes.
Only seen a mod a few months ago a mod the HTX100 I think to convert CW to LSB. Didnt look that hard either. Remember reading years ago they were like a HR2510 but had a better filter on SSB as per AudioShocks pic. They were known for the LCD display slowly bleeding black with time from the edges inwards.
