I contacted them & they requested that I Return it for repair because they could not provide an accurate schematic. The parts had No information on them so they would have been difficult to identify. We did not have much internet access back then. Two friends had the same issues & we all threw...

When I was a kid in the 70's I was using a hand help Radio Shack 4 watt with the extendable steel whip & I was trying to call my brother-in-Law about a mile away, but the skip was terrible so he could not hear each other. A fellow in Minnesota on a base could hear both of us. He relayed a...

Sounds like you have the VOX turned on to me. I would check VOX & Anti Vox.

If the fan comes on you will for it. I was running a 350 watt TE Systems amplifier with mine & working a pileup. It came on & it Scared me because I had never heard the fan. It has a very noticeable sound. I have (2) of the RS-50 amp Astron supplies & I find it strange that they don't have a...

My friends & I found that those & the Tripp Lite power supplies made great dumpster materials. Tripp Lite could not even provide a schematic that included the parts because they told me they were built in Mexico & they were not sure what parts they had in them.

Pyramids are CRAP. I have worn out enough of them to fill up a dumpster. I use Only ASTRON Power Supplies since 2002 & they have never let me down.

The meter in the radio is Crap & adjustable. I have seen them show terrible SWR readings & the SWR is really very good & I have seen them say they were great & they were terrible. NEVER trust the cheap SWR meter built into Any CB Radio. Keep a good external SWR meter inline.

Having voice mail lets them know it's a valid number so they will just keep calling & sharing your number. I stopped them by simply hanging up while it's still ringing & Block the number before it can answer. It then appears like it's a dead number to their system & they stopped calling.

Just remember that with Radioddity you will NEVER speak with Anyone just an unknown by emails & then only every 24 hours or so between the replies. If you have a problem with anything they sell don't expect any assistance. If the product is defective, then You will pay the return shipping & you...

Lots of older tube gear had those such as the Robyn tube radios & the Teaberry Model T radios & many others. Lots of tube type amateur radios as well.

It's a very common part I believe that ICOM should have them.

It's why my Phone has very Large numbers so no glasses required.

I Sold the Yaes Sold the FT-920 & replaced it with an ICOM 775DSP. I am using Dual ICOM SP-20 external speakers which both have the PHITS speaker kits installed & the speakers are running thru the ClearSpeech Base Module. The sound is Amazing & unlike any I have ever heard. The DSP units are a...

I Rarely use my most expensive Amateur Radio since purchasing an ICOM 775DSP. My ICOM 7610 & ICOM 9100 just sit quietly. If the 775DSP had 6 meters I would sell the 7610. The 775DSP hears what the 7610 cannot hear. It's not what they cost but what they do on the airways so enjoy whatever pleases...

I will never trust Radioddity for any purchase. It cost me $50 to return a XIEGU X6100 that never worked. They never offered to repair it or replace it just had me pay to return their Defective product. That's Pathetic customer service & that's who you are dealing with from a 1st hand...
