Thanks! I'm going to do this today. Would you happen to have good service docs for this radio? I have not found anything useful. HTX-10 SM found online is useless. SL

I had this problem when the radio was installed in my car. I had a conversation with Sam Lewis about it. It was a cap that was used in production, that needed to be replaced with a NP0. I can't find any docs or a service manual that I had for this radio, with the notes. This is the original...

Yikes! Good luck with all of that. Not a fun thing to come home to.

What voltage drop do you see E-C?

No problem. This has happened before to your scanner. Any idea what kills them? Thanks, SL

Hi Dan, I am in need of the Telsat SSB-50 from CB-50 and Telsat SSB-50A, from CB-66. Do you have these? Thanks!

My memory, which isn't great these days, tells me the pinout of the driver is BEC, thus grounding the center pin and tab.

Mine did have a nice RX and stable VFO, but the headers and bad soldering intermittent issues, required too many repairs. I slipped on the last repair and it has not worked since. I gave up on it and trashed it.

The TS-130S PA uses 2SC2290. Someone was in it for sure..... My TS-130S, had the worst PA on 10m of all of my Kenwood's.

Put the radio in the freezer for a few hours. Then use focused heat on the components in the suspect area until it wakes up.

Cool! Never owned a Retevis radio myself. I will have some things to report after receiving it. I have been buying Chinese radios, that will operate in the 220 MHz band and testing them. Some of the results are quite surprising. This particular radio, may operate in the 1.25m band, after a power...

I took a closer look at the D104M/6 and TMD-107. There is a distinct difference, in the front grills. The TMD-107, has a wider spacing, between the interlacing. This mic is a D104M/6. Minuteman II

Two things to try. A random 455 KHz xfmr may work, if the pinout is the same. Or, measure the inductance of the known good one and match it up.
