I am in process of restoring one as well. I also had a bad speaker. I ordered 8 ohm 1 watt. If you look at the schematic, you can see the transformation, that I am going to workaround. I am also going to install an electret mic. Good luck with your project.

Are you here to try to get help with the issue, or just to vent?

No RX or TX audio?

2SC777 and 2SC775 come to mind

Turner Plus Three. Best amplified microphone ever made. End of story.

You don't have to have the box with the rotary switch. You can get one of the encoders that has a dip switch set it to the tone you want and forget it. Or, you can install inside the radio and mount the dip switches in a way so that you can access them from the outside. This way you can change...

This may help.

I don't recall a factory CTCSS board for that radio, but you could install a third party board, like a COM-SPEC or Selectone. Not sure if you are looking for only encode or tone squelch, which will make the difference as to what board you use. You will need to be mindful of enabling the encoder...

Love it.....I did the same with a Hy-Gain V 674B this past winter. Similar radio as you probably know. I had that thing set up for at least 2 months straight. It was really nice to use. I had the 898B with a Siltronix 90 in the 80's. It's a blast!

SO.... I responded to your post, not to be demanding, but to perhaps spend some of my precious time, sharing a common interest in assisting you with your desire to increase the power handling capacity of the Crossbow stick. I have more antennas than I will ever need, it was all about the art...

This is precisely why I asked for better photos of the matching network. I have one of these, that the matching network is trashed, that I want to rebuild, bigger and better. The one I have also has a completely corroded to nothing bonding wire at the top of the bottom section, which is what...

Would you have better, more detailed photos of the matching transformer? The cap value?

What are the lengths of the elements? This is important... What it appears to be, at the very least is a cross polarized omni directional antenna.

I think he is asking, what manufacturer made this and what they called it.

Hopefully nothing else is blown up......LOL
