I will take a look at those when I drag it out again! Thanks!

To make things more clear, I am posting two pics more!!!! The area of concern is on a page split... so I have screen shot each area to try to get the most of what is involved here. Part One shows the microphone and the mic jack with the wiring trailing off to the right. Part Two Shows the...

I am definitely the 5 pin DIN and I confirm that the pinout you supplied is correct on this radio.

Dan, most likely I haven't done a good job in describing what I meant. I'm going to try to write in support of the pic I uploaded: If you will, look right in the middle of CKT TRACES 19, 80 and 81.... where R57, R59 and C83 meet together. That is the "tie point" I was trying to describe...

Def Definitely 5 pin DIN. That is what the SAMS 148 says, and that is indeed what it is.

I bought this thing for $10.. knowing fully well that it may work fine.... but it may not. That is exactly what I wanted it for. I am now looking at it on the bench. (By the way, I am a hobbyist at this... not a pro that is doing it for customers. Just me having fun!) Receive is excellent...

You aren't kidding!!!!!!! I have actually downloaded it several times.... and squirreled it away in several different places!!!!!!!! If I am remembering right.... there is a place in there in one of the audio circuits that he claims ONLY the R/S TRC-458 replaced a diode with a resistor...

I've pondered it a few times but never really put much into it. I know that most hams, above 10 Mhz, use USB and I've never really thought about it. But something hit me just yesterday.... and it makes me wonder if it doesn't have something to do with it!!!!????!!!!! Before 1977 (in the 23...

N8YX, can I slide a dumb question in here please? I've been in electronics in one way or another since the 70s, but mostly digital. My radio experience is all solid state. I have an understanding of tubes but not A LOT of hands on practice. I also have a good understanding of safety...

Yeah, go with Klondike Mike and tell him "Bob sent you"!!!!! He will have NO IDEA who Bob is..... but he is the best place to get your caps!!!!

Sorry it took so long.... Yes I did a long time ago. In aligning it..... I got "ham handed" with a multimeter probe, apparently touched TWO things with the probe tip, heard a "very slight pop"...... and PPPPPHHHHhhhhhhttttttt she was gone!!!!!!!! I chased down that something got fritzed...

Yes indeed I was!!!! I found their Facebook page and joined it, then the web site went down. Since then.... I have hardly seen any activity on the group in Facebook. I guess it just died off!!!!!!

I have had an account on cbradioforum DOT com for many many many years... but I had not checked in for about 2 months. I just followed my link like always, the browser plugged in my credentials like always, I clicked "log in" like always...... and it just sits there and spins. Doesn't let me...

Mike, "just in case it becomes useful".... I had that one squirreled away already so... here it is. Bob

Amen to that!!!! Having to wage war with magnifying hoods to see is bad enough!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
