Yes I've heard before that the Sidekick was a SSB mic but I just read another post talking about those old mics having parts in them that fail with age so I guess they are both a gamble.

OK I have both of these mics and have heard good things about Turner mics so it brings up the question ? Which one of these old mics gets the highest rating from you old pros on 11 meter SSB ??? I'm thinking of wiring one for my Galaxy 2547 or a Cobra and the wiring order to which pin would...

I've used that meter on my bench for years after I had a radio guy calibrate it to his bird meter. And it was stingy on the modulation reading until I corrected that. They aren't that expensive for just self radio bench work...

LOL

That is good it has ssb which makes it more of a keeper. Mine is just AM so I'm going to pass it on, but keep the Turner Plus Three mic because I've heard good about them. But I'm hoping someone in here chimes in on how to rewire a hand SuperStar mic to work with my little Royce base. I've been...

Don't feel alone Bud, this time of year is Flaky. My well was dry again yesterday too.

Believe me Bud I totally understand the shop problem. Their never big enough !

Yes I like your antenna job and it looks good and that option is on the table for sure. A couple weeks from now I'm going to a local Cap MFG. ( 2 hrs ) and talk about a custom Aluminum cap. I have custom building in my blood so thoughts are endless and cheap until the Poop hits the Fan Thanks

Seeing I'm the kind of guy who Absolutely refuses to punch a hole in the roof of my new truck it brings the question to mind, Has anybody ever ran a piece of antenna coax thru a piece of BX cable shielding and put it up thru the floor of their truck to protect it from road grit and damage...

You know you don't have the disease bad enough if you haven't cleaned it up and tried it yet ! LOL I couldn't help myself yesterday. I had to run to get some CRC contact cleaner, clean up my little Royce base station including pulling the covers & spraying all contacts. Reglueing the loose...

Was coming out of my local hardware store & getting in my car when a man seen I had a CB in my car. He ask if I wanted a base station that was his grandfathers. It was in his car and showed it to me and I seen it was a Royce with a Turner Plus Three power mic. I was in a hurry to take a 2 hour...

Like I always say Birds of a feather flock together.

Yes I bought one of those wireless mics for my first 980 but have never tried to exploit it's usefulness. I've always had bad hearing and it's little speaker doesn't work for me well and old age has depleted my hearing even worse. There is a mod from another forum for opening up the mic hole a...

Well that makes me feel better that some are getting a shot of interveinous skip.. Turned on the 2547 this morning and heard 37 & 38 lsb rolling so gave some shouts and again no answers. Now this is puzzling why I'm hearing but not being heard so thought it might be the Road Devil power mic...

I got up early because I had a 10:00am ECHO app. at the VA hospital so turned on the radio after 6:45 am to listen as I was bathing and the radio was active even then. Been sort of freakee hearing activity lately but it beats Static.
