I have had this thing for years!!!!!!! One of my son's friend's father..... used to repair CB radios professionally out of a truck. Did so up until literally they found him in the truck .... gone of a heart attack. He had been working on radios in his yard and his wife and son were gone. I...

SAMS on a 29GTL says TP5 for a similar location. This is AM only so there are only two alignment steps on this one... but yes. TP5 on the GTL. It appears to be TP6 on the 29XLR. I don't have a SAMS on the 29LTD so I can't be sure about it.

If I can find a way to get it to you... I have about a 380-ish Mb ZIP file of everything I have on the Console V (and Sidebander 5 too). Factory service manual, operator's manual, a number of schematic images..... I tried to upload it here but it blew out .... saying the file was too big. If...

I happened to have this one on hand. I put it up under your posting to Dan!!!

Dan, I can't help as much as I used to... But I will sure help when I can!!!! I happened to have this one on hand. Here you go Doffo!!!! Enjoy!!!!!

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!!!!
