    nomadradio replied to the thread Stryker 447 HPC mod?.
    I would guess that both of them are probably off. Only way I know to set the S-meter reading is with a signal generator that has a...

    Only reference I can find to that name was as the vendor of an audio-cassette recorder sold with the Atari name on it, as a program...

    We have a similar problem with base station radios. When they transmit into a properly-shielded dummy load, the strongest signal in the...

    nomadradio replied to the thread 1988 arrl handbook.
    Closest these folks come is 1984. Probably has something to do with copyright expiration, maybe...

    To look at the audio modulation envelope you need to turn the sweep speed down to a more audio-friendly speed. It has to be really fast...

    They say "measure twice cut once". Measure once, cut three times, right? That's how this prototype played out. First, I wanted to...

    nomadradio replied to the thread Uniden pc122xl no tx or rx.
    The single most-basic first check is to listen for a faint "pop" from the speaker as the power is turned on. If you hear that, turn it...

    Rock on! Those look excellent! Gotta master the art of the v-cut. Looks easier than my sheet-metal shear. 73

    nomadradio replied to the thread Stryker 447 HPC mod?.
    A resistor sub box set to 33k leads me to suspect that it's meant to mislead. Might be legit, but the audio-circuit impedances in that...

    nomadradio replied to the thread Pride 400 Bi-Linear Amplifier.
    The mobile amplifier looks legit. The SD1446 RF transistors it uses require very little drive. A typical CB with a single final...

    Is this a solid-state mobile amplifier? Can't remember seeing that one. 73

    nomadradio replied to the thread Superstar SS3000B.
    One of the dual audio-chip versions was EPT3000, maybe? There is more than one of them. The Ranger RG33 schematic is posted here, I...

    nomadradio replied to the thread Stryker 447 HPC mod?.
    We did this to some Galaxy DX2547 radios with a 0.22uf capacitor. And a switch. Not sure where he connected his resistor to do what you...

    I would just as soon keep it broadbanded. Especially to make it compatible to either the 21 MHz Mark 4A first lo, or the 31 MHz in the...

    I'm accustomed to watching the tuning voltage on a 'scope, to see what the tuning voltage is on channel 1 and 40. For that radio, also...
