You are correct. L127 is the one for USB & it's dead. Thanks.

Thanks. I check those pots to see if there working.

Hey: Gang. I'm working on a Magnum Delta Force 10 meter radio. It works perfect on all modes except USB. No tx or rx on USB. I did some internet searching & seen that I should check crystal x103 & I did & there was a lots or rot from that nasty brown glue so I cleaned the board & replaced the...

Hey:. Update for you, I starting using MJE2955T regulators to replace the 2SA1012 that blows in those radio. You can use a NTE153 also but the MJE2955T is a higher current device & will never blow like the original. You can order all the parts I mentioned online. Where are you located ? I'm in...

Hey: Gang. Had a buddy brought me an old Courier Centurion 40D. It transmits on AM but not on SSB. No tx on SSB is due to not transmit audio. I have not recapped the entire radio yet but I did replace all the electrolytic caps in the audio section & replaced the audio chip as it was pitch...

I agree 100%. There are plenty of other Presidents names that could have been used as we all know the Washington as a base station. How about President, Regan, Nixon, Ford, Bush.

Hey: Gang. I'm working on a Magnum S9 with dual 2SC1969's. It had very low tx power & no tx or rx on AM mode only so I replaced the 2SC2166 driver & both finals which fixed the low power issue. It now does about 40 FM & SSB but there is still no TX or RX at all on AM mode. FM & SSB tx & rx fine...

Google Vanco LC6X to find this cord. I've been searching too & I found them.

Got it fixed. Turns out C89 a 0.01 uf film capacitor was shorting out TR32. There was a dead shot across this transistor & when I removed C89 the short stopped. I replaced C89 with a new capacitor & the ALC now work. Thanks for all the help guys.

Hey. Gang...

Update & good news guys. It turns out I had a few bad solder joints & had to scrape off this thin plastic coating that is on the ribbon cable for the channel selector. After exposing more copper trace I got solder contact & the radio lives. :)

Hey: Gang. I'm in search of a complete ribbon cable with channel selector switch / led channel display for a Realistic TRC-458 base station. I was having issues with the channel selector being worn & not staying on channel. I tried to use contact cleaner & get it inside the switch but the...

That's awesome. I had the Super big stick 18' long. I believe the Big stick is 16' long. Great antenna though.

If you look up A99 exposed, there's a guy who took an A99 apart & there is just a copper wire in the middle & top section. The bottom section contains a capacitor, two coils & then just wire to it's top.

Ok guys. I bought 2 NIB bottom A99 sections from an electronics clearence place, there were no middle or top sections. So I decided to make my own middle & top section out of aluminum tubing. I had a broken Imax 2000 & removed all the chromed parts so I had parts to attach the middle & top...
