    AM, SSB handheld radio (Magnum 1012 Clone)

    Rumor has it there's a Randy SSB coming out sometime. No idea when. I'd wait for that and avoid the others. Too breakable.

    How do I buy a Randy III in the USA?

    All Euro sellers I found want well over $200 for one BEFORE shipping. Add $50 for that. That adds up to nope nope nope too expensive. Anyone know of a North American source under $200?

    Randy II AM/FM service settings

    Settings for the AM/FM USA Randy II. 310 for 4 Watts Power High, 344 for 1 Watt Power Low, AM Pow modulation L/H both 77, FM Mod 510. Using a digital meter. These are the best numbers for that radio. If you don't know how to change these values look at the video on YouTube.

    D-104 powder coat

    This D104 is/was not chromed. The stock black paint is very thin and cheap. I want the near indistructability of a powder coat. Just not at $120!

    Cobra 2k / Shure 526T SII mic pinout please

    It worked. There was one tiny thread of ground wire that got soldered to the white wire thus grounding the audio. With some sleep and food i redid it all. Works peachy now. Not as bass heavy as I had heard but not bad.

    Cobra 2k / Shure 526T SII mic pinout please

    And seems like it did work! We'll know tomorrow when I can snag a new 9 volt battery. Right now it receives and transmits so that leads me to a big thank you for the help.

    Saw that. 3 grounds and one is marked "loudspeaker ground"? Rather than reinvent the wheel i thought I'd just ask.

    Modified Vector 4000

    Wood roof over wood beams. Almost flat. No way I will let my coax hang free. All that weight on three small solder areas.

    Modified Vector 4000

    I'm in the process of assembling mine now. Got the 4 ring brace arms coming from England. Only source I could find. I have the ant assembled by eye to the specs in the "manual" as listed. Leaning against a tree, bottom on the ground I get a 1.5 SWR. When the arms arrive, and before the weather...
