    Cobra XL-450 Amplifier

    That baked resistor is a casualty of over-drive... Why do they put those silly power level switches in there, anyway? I am no expert, but the first thing I do when I am re-furb'ing an inexpensive leenyer is pull that prone-to fail / prone to cook mess out of there and bypass it with an adequate...

    FT Magnum S9

    It's pretty simple, actually... to run a scam you must be willing to wait as long as it takes for the scam to reach fruition.

    FT Magnum S9

    My poop has festered long enough waiting for this one. Time to shiite.

    FT-991 MARS mod?

    AM can, indeed, be improved considerably. But nowhere near the quality of a high-level AM modulated radio such as a Cobra 29 or Cobra 148. If you want to talk on a CB, buy a CB.

    FT-991 MARS mod?

    If all you are seeking is 11m access, just leave the radio alone. Buy a vintage 148 or something similar. 11m performance (a misnomer) on this radio AM mode is abysmal.

    I need a Knob...

    Examine photos of 2995dx's of that vintage. The reason you cannot find those knobs is that they are not stock.. the one that is bugging the shiite mooslem out of you is the stock knob. In fact, it looks like the knobs had some sort of faux brushed aluminum cap put on them.

    CB Modification Website

    Yes, as a matter of fact. hAmateur: http://robconet.com/ham/index.htm C to the B: http://robconet.com/cb/index.htm I keep having to move the thing around, remove files and cater to the needs of the host, rather than the host cater to me. I apologize in advance if certain links don't work on...

    uniden scanner

    And for what purpose? Personally, I think it should have stopped at 800 MHz Analog Trunked. EVERYONE has the right to hear what the police are doing on their radio. Who is going to police the police? <-- That's rather timely, no? Even with all these whiz-bang digitally encrypted systems, the...

    IMAX-2000

    Made this last weekend from a few small purchases at Lowe's and parts in the bin. 6 and 10 meter maypole $15 (this one has BALUN innards). ~$10 no balun. 9:30 PM... Just talked to Pensacola, FL on 100 watts 28.410. I'm in Salem, VA.
