I've read and heard so many times that shipping seems to be the pass the buck / default answer why new radios have defects. Not having channel 5 and 7 is not crucial but what happens if and when the cancer spreads?

Recently purchased a new and sealed in factory box, RCI-69 from a seller on Ebay. After I received the radio, I shipped it to a reputable forum member to be converted and aligned only. No boosted power, no swing kit and no unlocked clarifier. I want the radio to be as stock as possible. Radio...

Is your intent to have communication if and when there is a loss of 110/220 AC power? A well maintained deep-cycle marine battery and an inexpensive / basic 40 channel CB radio would be one option. I would not keep the battery in the living area of the house. In a ventilated cellar, sunporch...

When needed? For loss of home power source?

You have my vote!

Don't thank me. I found an old (May 1st, 2015) discussion on Copper Forum. I typed in; "How to set the dead-key on RCI-2980. It worked for me on my 2980".

I used VR 14 and VR18 for low and high carrier.

What type of bugs?

I do not have the ID of the pod. I have taken a photo of the pod and sent it to the OP and he will post the photo of the location and which is the correct pod to adjust. Just by luck, I came across a video of a guy repairing a botched-up Lincoln II Plus and that is how and where I located the...

I reduced the low dead-key down to 1.25 watts and I'm feeding a four-pill amp. Dead-key on amp is 90 watts and 360 PEP watts.

With 12.2 volts and 2.0 watts dead-key = 28 PEP watts out of the radio before the amp. With 12.2 volts and 6 watts dead-key = 34 PEP watts out of the radio before the amp.

Yes! I reduced my Linc. II+ down to 2 watts and I use the KL-203P with it. I had to reduce the volts out of the power supply down to 12.2 volts to obtain the 25 watts dead-key and get about 60 watts PEP.
