The Francis Triple quarter wave went out of production years ago, and people have been looking for them for just as long. If you search around you will find some of posts here about the Fire Up fire stick add-on in this section. I tried it years ago and didn't see any notable difference. 73 Jeff

See the below quote from Rogerbird " Cure for High SWR with covers off or on Usually this problem is caused by the fact that Uniden did not install an insulator between the MRF477 Final and the heatsink. The mounting tab of the MRF477 (and MRF497) is 'Power' Ground and the heatsink is...

What is the input tune, from the Lincoln, SWR meter, amp, amp turned on. This idea is going to sound nuts , take the top cover off the Lincoln and test again and see if the problem goes away. The older Uniden 2510/Lincoln chassis had a issue with the radio oscillating at weird random times...

Yeah, if your going to sell the radio sell the accessories that go with it, it's just like repair parts that that are no longer available. Customer support after sale is just a memory nowadays. 73 Jeff

Mine survived countless Sierra storms, snow, mono winds, ice, never came down. They work very well and are built like a brick shit house. I talked to him back in april , told me he had been getting requests for 10k antennas and was thinking about getting back into building again. 73 Jeff

Looks kinda like you are moving forward, meager skills aside, good job so far on a radio that sounds like it's had a rough life already...... 73 Jeff

They say when he was born his mama dropped him in a barrel of Blues. He drank his way to the bottom, where he found a guitar, and the rest is history..... Who Killed John Henry , Joe Bonamasa

There is a guy I recently watched on YouTube that floated a antenna on balloons. I go see if I can find it in a minute.. 73 Jeff

I praised the 2510, 2600, 2830/Lincoln , they were decent radios, covered 10-12 with the Chipswitch and fit in small places at a decent price. By the time the HR series died, you couldn't find 2830's anymore and Lincolns became expensive, when the supply of mrf 477 dried up, they switched to...

I learned long ago that the sticker that comes with the president radios adds 25% to the price , been that way for decades. Somewhere between President Electronics of Belgium and the time CRT/Groupe President of France acquired the company the prices went up like gold. My brother was going back...

It is typical for DX to go to crap when solar activity is rampant during the summer. There is "Blanketing" that occurs where signals get absorbed before they can propagate. Check this out https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/the-summer-doldrums.270245/ Good information about summer time...

Holy crap Batman he barked at $88? To put that back together? Jezz Plus cost of switcher ( And it kinda feels like he would want that donated) Good thought,make sure the transistors are kosher before you get any deeper. Then there are guys that want you to cobbler stuff together from junk...

Yes if it was free ...... It's sad that someone butchered it, they weren't terrible amps for what they were. At least the power supply was regulated when most CB amps had nothing but a bridge and a cap and 1446' were good transistors. Ya I would give it back 73 Jeff

Here it comes

It has a little bite, but they are sweet and hot at the same time, great on ritz crackers with cream cheese.... They are working on dilly beans now, fresh green beans,dill, garlic, pepper flakes..... Mummmmm 73 Jeff
