I will be sure to avoid the radio........... LOL!

Congratulations on passing the ham exam! (Realizes I got my ticket in 2001. Yikes!) Something that happened with an Astron power supply I had, you can set the amperage and voltage via the knobs in the front.... The issue I had the voltage was jumping everywhere! Long story short, the...

Radio will rock and roll for many many more years! :)

Good catch! I was about to look back at the pictures to see if something was clipped.

Niiiiiiiiice! The 1990s Cobras were ok. After that? No thank you. :) I did recap a 25 GTL and an original 25 LTD. For whatever reason, the 25 GTL would do a "double click" of the relay on ol RM-Italy 203P every time you would key up... The 25 LTD worked fine and didn't do that. Something on...

Great information here. I will have to do this to my 140 GTL mobile.

Do you have information on building/parts to the VFO? I considered this to one of my 23 Channel Kraco SSB radios, and you done exactly just that. :)

Damn that is a clean Icom! If funds allowed id snag that radio... Damn!

I have a few of those radios. One behaves like the one you have. I did start to recap the radio section by section, but still no luck. There is one part of the board I still need to recap, but I worked on the radio about 5+ years ago. Someday I will run into it again. :)

If you got plenty of trees, maybe a dipole antenna would work for ya? I use a 1:1 balun that I bought a few years ago and it worked pretty good. Otherwise, may as well get that A99 setup the way you were thinking.

Hoping this isnt common in the 756-Pro II. :| Got that radio on the shelf next to me.

I understand the rules and wish to enter into the drawing.

Good luck telling that to the loser over in the "cb radio show and tell" group by the name of Justin Shultz... He is a certified military radio meat operator and he will call you bluff for saying the glue could ever be corrosive. :)

The Courier Gladiator I have needs some TLC. I got one back in 2017 or so and it was dead in the water. No audio. Fast forward to recently, I took it off the shelf and will be the next radio I try to fix. I replaced some capacitors years ago and the radio just kept making a poping sound...

Even before I returned here, I bought a couple kits off Klondike Mike to recap a couple of my TRC-465 radios back in 2019.
