    cobra 29 no receive

    any jumpers being used? I've had this same effect and it was due to badly soldered jumpers to my power meter.

    need some help

    Would deffinately try the power filter. Had some alternator noise in my Subaru, and with a quick install of a smaller amperage noise filter, I was much happier.

    Stumped Superbase

    Found some used AF IC's I ordered and going to go ahead and replace it, see if I get some audio back. Looks like at some point someone had done a real crummy job of either replacing the pll02A, or doing some kind of channel mod, as the traces around the pll are pretty well scratched up and the...

    Stumped Superbase

    Alright so I acquired a GE Superbase that at the moment is not so super. The rig received superbly on all modes, but would not transmit. Key of the mic would produce a little needle bump, but no mod., no transmit power. Nothing even to another radio. Having the ambition and little...

    Voyage VR 9000 squeal

    I'm right there with you Basstracker. I can use my 9000 in the house with my 2 pill and not have a problem, it's when I put it in the mobile and flip the switch on that 2 pill. .. .I have a problem. And very similar to you. .. .every now and then can I talk on it in the mobile with the amp...

    Bad Wreck = New Install

    Sniper, Gunny Pucks has a SOLID, STAINLESS STEEL 6" riser for the 102 if you were interested. As you know the chrome is something to stay away from, and I've read from others that the spring just gives the whip more sway than it already has. I've posted the link for Gunny's. For some reason...

    Best CB Radio DX Antenna?

    My A99 worked pretty well for DX'ing, and then I got a Sirio 2016. .. . much harder to make contacts which I believe is because it's a ground plane antenna.

    Voyage VR 9000 squeal

    I have the exact same problem with my 9000, and the echo functions as it should. Echo on, talkback on. Could it have something to do with the mic plug on these? Are you running it mobile when you get the squeeling?

    Disable Talkback on Galaxy DX44v

    Glad you found it. I know it was bugging the crap out of me when I couldn't get the talkback to shut off with echo or not. I'm running this radio in my mobile with an external speaker under my headrest, so feedback was horrendous!

    Disable Talkback on Galaxy DX44v

    More or less there's a diode that's been clipped or removed as I had the same problem with my Galaxy 88. Did the talkback disable mod, and it was still on. Right in the area of J15 on my board, there was a diode that had been clipped. Soldered it back together, and that was that. Then I...

    PC-122 / TRC-453 No Transmit - Help ?

    I have a TRC-453 that has intermittant transmit problems, but on A.M only. Traced it down to the large ribbon cable that connects to the board. Best I could tell when I was "probing" around that area that the transmit came back. (I was keyed down the entire time)

    Astatic D104M6B

    I had cleaned my 104 for the last time after having it only last me a couple of weeks in between. Got interested in some different mics and found a couple of these, so I stole the cord to wire into this mic. 4 pin ready to go.

    Astatic D104M6B

    I used my M6b cable to wire up this bad boy with a real switch in it. Done had it with that crappy D104.:bdh::whistle:
