    KL503HD AMP

    If they are like the 703 I had, they have a Screw Clamp-Down arrangement on back so you can use your own wires. Go with like 8 gauge .... strip the ends and stick them in. Otherwise you'll have to google for RMI Dealers and contact one of them for parts.

    Galaxy DX-73V

    Supply crashes just when you turn the radio on? Well that is serious. Does the radio work when running elsewhere like in a vehicle? A radio simply turned on and receiving draws very little power. A CB maybe only 1/2 to 1 amp. If in fact the radio is fine and supply is crashing on that ...

    Old D-104 Base Mic help

    Several things can go wrong. You need to confirm that the element in the head has in fact failed. Could be something else.

    Old Antenna Identification

    It sounds like a good ol' Avanti A400 Starduster to me. Confirm that any of the 4 sections are around 9 feet in length.- That will confirm that it's a CB Base Antenna. The 3 Ground Plane Radials slope DOWNward. Is a 1/4 Wave Ground Plane. Prolly a million of them were sold in the 1970's & '80's...

    Quansheng UV K5

    Aren't we already talking about the radio in another forum? Think that thread may be under the Anysecu Name. Same radio and UV K5 model number. I tried one about 6 months ago after some other locals were playing with them. I wish I was more skilled with the software hacking which I am not ...

    WBCQ 9330 (AM Broadcast) rotatable tower in Maine 500kw

    Funny you mention the static, fading and worn out music. That is all SW Pirates are ...... for years and years. The heyday of good SW Pirates was the 1990's maybe into the early 2000's. Then all the good entertainment Pirates left and ever since it's music-only stations. What a sleep-fest

    Small Gas Engine Question

    If it's rings or reed value, I have no way to check or fix. I'm not tearing the engine down. - It's not overfill on oil .... has a dipstick. - It's not gushing large amounts. Might push out 1 ounce in a 20 minute run. The mower is kindof a backup. I only use it in a small area and mostly just to...
