I'm learning electronics and I was just trying to help the original guy that made the post fix his microphone can you tell me why it's a bad idea to have the DC going threw the Variable pot I have found out that they don't like current poof magic smoke I am trying my best to learn radio it is...

Here is what the site said "I found a schematic of the Turner +3 mic online. It is more advanced than you should think as Turner already implemented compression in the late seventies. They called the compression technique “modu-guard”. It is a rectifier circuit that rectifies the audio and sends...

I will see what I can find for ya

I don't know about the turner plus but I used this schematic to fix my brother's d104 it would possibly get you started somewhere for your mic here is the link http://www.nucow.com/Microphones%20Lamps/vintage%20microphones/D104%20schematic.htm hope this helps you

Update: I kept troubleshooting yesterday testing every piece of my gear and found out that my coax jumper was shorted that I made I'm waiting on some coax and ends to arrive to make a new jumper I wanna thank everyone for the help

Thanks for all the help just gonna use it like it is

And 18 foot of brand new coax was used with 102 whip if you need to know that heck my cab may not be grounded to my frame I don't know all I know is I've always had trouble with antennas on all my rangers I've owned threw my life

Well with the dummy load my cobra 29 SWR meter shows the same as my old external meter when I bought the antenna and radio both bought at same time at a truck stop like I said I tuned it with the radios meter and noticed that the antenna warning light still came on that's the confusing part is...

I have a dummy load I made and the needle don't even move on the radio or my meter I'm bout to give up at the point cobra says the SWR is low meter says it's off the scale I just don't know anymore before I took it off the truck to try on Mom's car it was high on 1 and 40 and 1.5 on 20 now it's...

I just put it back on my truck and I ain't even getting 1.5 to 1 on 20 anymore so there is something up I tested my jumper it's not shorted so idk anymore I still think it's this old meter

I tried it on my mom's Honda Pilot and it is all the way in the corner off the scale on 1, 20, and 40 I don't know anymore I checked with a multimeter across the coax connector and its not shorted so I just don't know

Well at this point I'm thinking about giving up

Back when I was 17 I made a dipole out of speaker wire and made contacts all over with a cobra 29 with a rfx75 I had installed in it back then so I just don't know I've had problems like this all my life in vehicles sometimes it was the coax and sometimes it was antenna placement it's just so...

It is in the middle of my roof on my Ford ranger only thing is I tuned it with my cobra 29 SWR meter when I purchased the radio and antenna both I drove to my local dirt track cause it has a big open field with no power lines when I first hooked it up the the antenna was showing to long and I...

Well with the cobra 29 SWR meter on channel 1 the needle doesn't move channel 20 barely moves and on channel 40 I would say it's 1.2 to 1 or 1.3 and with the external meter channel 1 is above 2 then on channel 20 it's 1.5 to 1 and on channel 40 it's above 3 to 1 it's a brand new lil Wilson...
