I’ve never diagnosed that yet. Like I say it’s never lit up from my years of owning it

Good to know about them and a good price as well. However mine is a slightly different design

My first radio that I’ve used heavily is a cobra 29 WX NW ST. The lights have never worked since I got it in 2015. Heck even the face plate is bubbling up. I still use it quite a bit. It seems like a lot of folks have this issue. I’m sure someone is going to have a great product to get these...

Looks like it’s a PA-371AA

I also have a pc76xlw that needs it looks like

Thank you Klondike Mike!

Will do! Thank you

I’m looking for a recap kit for a radio I’ve had for a long time. I can’t seem to find a kit matching the board number. Maybe I’m searching the wrong numbers or I’m blind? Either way I’m just looking to be steered in the right direction. It is the radio I started out with so i figured it...

Holy smokes I got a lot of reading to do hear. Sorry I’ve had a bunch of priorities come up so my watt meter was shoved on the back burner.

Ok so I messed with my base a little last night to confirm it being the meter. I figured I might as well run it by this thread and see if I’m wrong possibly. I have 2 power supplies. 1 for the radio and 1 for the amplifier. “A reminder that i don’t use it often”. Both are hooked up. Inline...

I have a Dosy meter that hasn’t been reliable since day one. Usually I’m running barefoot on either a uniden Grant that swings 15 watts or a Galaxy 959 that swings 20 watts. “tested on a friends meter” Once in awhile I’ll run an amp if someone is straining to hear me but, usually there’s no...

I can’t seem to find any websites that has radio parts and mods. What all is out there?

Well that will be a good read through. I figured someone made a book somewhere. Thank you.

I have a pc 66xl. I figured that was the only one myself. It has a Philippine board in it. It is nowhere near my only radio or project but, I do use this one quite a bit. I currently buy cheap old radios to practice diagnosing.

The point of my experiments is that I’m just starting to learn to work on radios. I’m not gonna learn by not trying stuff out. I have a soldering iron, helping hands, a solder sucker and 1 dosy meter. I can’t afford a whole lot of tools yet so a Dosy is what I got. I know some day I’ll screw...
