I am looking for #274 SBE Sidebander V Thanks Monk

They can be tuned a peaked but the labor involved is not worth it. If you wanted to do it to your own radio for your own satisfaction and have some older junk CB radios around for parts swapping it can be done. Basically you remove the fixed coils in the transmit chain and replace them with the...

Handy Andy, I'll kick in a beer for you too. I have a newer front mic 29 with a different set of symptoms but the cure was the same putting in the 47uf cap in the unfilled cap spot. In this 29 there was no black wire. The audio was fine as long as the volume was low like listening in a home but...

Mixed up No, I don't have them mixed up! Monk

Converting from 2 transistors to 1 Go to CB tricks and look up the Texas Star Modulator, follow the schematic.

Moding the HTX-10 with a crystal change Hi, I put a htx-10 on the 11 meter band by changing the reference crystal like the mod for the HR2600. The frequency display doesn't change but you just deduct 2 mhz. I don't have the crystal frequency. I used my signal generator to supply the...

Skipper no power out Can you hear the relay in the amp click when you key up the radio? Have you tried swapping the tubes around? You say one tube is dimer than the others. Pull the dim tube and put one of the bright tubes in that socket. Whenever working on a tube amp make sure it is...

Relays for D&A amps with 110 volt DC relays Check out Harbach electronics, order the relay for the SB220. These are high quality and the price includes shipping. The NTE replacements are junk. Monk

Fiberglass Rod Call around to your local Farm and Ranch fencing supplier. They will have or know where to get solid fiberglass rods. Monk

24LQ6 Phantom There is a much easier way to run the 24 volt tubes. Look at the filament supplies on the transformers... No choke needed. 12 volt. 12 plus 12 equals 24 I've been doing these conversions on D&A's for years. Monk

HI Fusekilla, Do you still have those manuals for the Kenwood ts140 transceivers? If so I would like to buy them. Thanks Monk

Mobile is the key word, ran off of Leece Nevile Transformers ran on other than 60cyl can be much smaller for the same power out. If you look at the pictures the builder removed the 120/240 power supply and installed one ran off of 3 phase from the alternator...

Rewind choke Check the wire size and go to Radio Shack and get as close as you can. Strip off old wire super glue the core back together then rewind with your new wire. Good enough. Monk

Don't Tease Us HI, If you mention a factory upgrade in your post include the upgrade. If you mention a voltage regulator upgrade post it! Thanks Monk
