You are probably right BC. Likely they wont put one on the market until which time a base type radio is made. 73

Thanks Tucker. I have an adapter as you describe but surprised there isnt really an option available yet that i'm aware of anyways made for these radios in a electret desk mic.

Does anyone know if Qixiang will ever produce a desk type mic that will pair up well with anytone or similar board radios? Maybe they will if they ever make and release a 5555n2 type base station radio. Anyone know if one exists ?

Hi guys. Wondering what your thoughts are on a 756pro in working condition other then the internal tuner. The price is approx $450, not sure if a decent deal despite the problem with internal tumer. For sideband operation only as well. Opinions please ? Thx :)

Like he said :)

Someday "overseas" will have an "air ride" mobile bracket for our radios. I do admit, i put my 980 ssb directly to my truck dash and it takes a.beating. The foam side pads i use for now seem to help.

Yep. Hard to fathom a mobile bracket with shocks. 2 plates with the right type of medium in the middle. Just kinda surprised there isnt anything already available. When it comes to anything mobile, no one is doing anti vibration / shock. Maybe one day on ali :)

my old school 2510s / 2950 were built for a beating mobile when new. Now i try and still use them mobile but respect their age lol. I'm not as limber as i used to be either :) i was just thinking that in this day and age, we would be able to buy a good "anti shock / vibration" mobile radio...

Just wondering if anyone has heard of or made a radio mount for mobile use that works well for vibration / shock. Maybe something or made with a material that works well ? I have used the split foam that is commonly used for wrapping pipes with some success (fit to the radio sides). I like to...

Thanks SL. Looks like i wont need to deal with it as the seller offered to take it back and refund me. Phew. I will be careful going forward to consider age of the rig and stay with a local purchase to avoid shipping as these are pretty heavy and i dont think ship well to begin with. Enjoy the...

Symptom: No RX, no TX. Dead spots in tuning range. Caused by PLL unlock. Probable Causes: Unstable trimmer capacitor is causing PLL unlock in DDS VCO. Cure: Replace bad plastic trimmer cap C205 (20pf) on PLL unit with ceramic equivalent.

Thanks guys. I'll see if i can find someone local to have a look at it and see if its savable.

Well i decided to pop it on a dummy load and go through the bands. The dead / squelched out parts are on all bands. Both selecting the band buttons or free wheeling it with the tuning knob (tuner on / off no change) same result. I then tested tx across all bands. I have tx on only a few of the...
