Does anyone know how to turn the power up on the 150 ? I have tried VR1 but nothing happens.

If your antenna has been working good for you I would not change it unless you like trying diffrent antennas. See my last post for my antenna.

I got one about six months ago for $99 after rebate and I am happy with it. The meter light burned out and when I went to replace it like a dumby I failed to turn off the radio and it damaged something when I put the iron to it ! It's in the car that I drive during day light hours anyway. Also...

I have heard those guys for years and can't stand the way they sound, sorry I just don't get it. SSB communications is what it is, it does not ned to be that wide.

There's something wrong with someone that does that.

You should really use ground strapping.

It's a AM radio only, it was keying 6 and swinging to 10. The wife thought she would do me a favor and turn the little amp off during the day and did not turn it back on when she called for me, it does not have a standby mode, oops ! I looked in a H&Y cat. and could not find the driver for sale...

I think the final went out on the Dwight D. Out-put power is about a 1/4 watt. On a heat sink there is a transistor C1969 (that must be the final) also there is one marked C2028/2, is that the driver ? Should I replace both or just the final ? Thanks.

That funny to see the Cobra 2000 talked about as an old radio. President Dwight D !!

There is no 10 meter local ragchewing at all in Austin, TX. I have tried to get ARO's interested with out any luck. So I go down to the CB band, go figure ? ( or 75 meters )

I work for a aircraft charter company and all employees have a four letter I.D. mine is PARK.

This is strange. I have an old outside thermometer in the shack that I have had for more than 10 years. I have used no less than 15 or 20 diffrent CB's and they all have interfered with the thermometer. I just noticed the Dwight D does not !?

I got the Dwight D in yesterday, it has checked out good. Keys 6 and swings 10 watts and sounds great !

The Uniden Pro 510XL is very small but works great.

No I never noticed that, luckly my SWR stays good at 1.2:1
