When I was young way way back in time we had another kid who loved throwing carriers. Thought he was a DJ. One day I offered to "peak" his radio. Once I got it I proceeded to tune the rf down to barely anything. I jumped resistors to make the meter peg when keyed. Let all the others on the ch...

I did this LSB mod years ago. Still have the radio. It works awesome. The offset on the display is off on LSB but once you understand that and know where you are it doesn't matter. The radio actually has a great receiver and good audio. I used an Astatic 575 that I powered from the mic plug...

Rtty. Or put a jumper on a connector and plug it into the key jack.

I would email Tom and ask him.. He is the guy on all the Ameritron amps. But I say more air is better. Especially on those tubes.

Thats the date it was inspected

Look inside. Usually a bright colored sticker with date and quality check signature.

Let me quote Nancy Kerrigan. WHY ?

It's a D&A and Phantom is the model.

Uniden wireless mic wires are as follows. So if you figure out the wiring of your radio just put what needs to go to each pin. Pin 1 - modulation Pin 2- RX Pin 3-TX Pin 4- Audio from receive Pin 5- Common Pin 6- 8v+ DC

Touch the screen where it says LSB or USB or CW or RTTY etc. It will pop up and touch AM.

Why not add another small transformer?

That's not original. Original would be a 4.7 ohm carbon comp resistor. Someone replaced it.

My mistake. I meant to say it is for neutralization. It's to neutralize the final. Early sets had this. Later sets did not. As far as noise on transmit. Did you try just jumping pins on mic jack to rule out dirty contacts? If so check the tube sockets. Then check the 6bq5 by tapping on it...

First thing I would do is try a 7558. The tube in there is a 12at7 which is in no way a final for that radio. Someone probably just stuck it in there. Looks like it's an early transmitter without the alc circuit. Also someone changed out the small variable cap on the tube for a larger one. That...
