It's the FCC 40 channel version I think? I remember someone suggested it was a 979 board or something going by the fcc data plate seems it was single final .. There is a tread here from couple years ago 73 Jeff

The thing I like about Qixiang is there willingness to listen to consumers and make changes in production based on that feedback. Radioddity adds US customer support and warranty coverage. 73 Jeff

Be aware Johnson sold a kit to use these radios in positive ground vehicles, after installing the kit there was a sticker that was to be placed on the back of the radio to inform anyone else that it has been changed. Make sure you have a lower value fuse in the power cord first time you hook it...

Yes, the manual shows a short wire used to ground the radio from a case screw to the mounting bracket. Item number 8 short wire with screw terminals on it. See attached 73 Jeff

You might want to have a nice clean unmolested 40 channel CB at your desk just in case. I doubt this type of complaint will escalate to a person actually showing up, but I have seen them show for enforcement actions in the past and they can ask to see your station under the rules. I sure hope...

There is a guy that sells a pre built add on kit that goes in the radio. Here are the instructions for one of the Galaxy radio base stations.. https://nomadradio.com/OldNomadWebPages/KBTurbo/index.htm 73 Jeff

You are not the only one, and you should talk to your primary care doctor, I have been diagnosed with essential tremors, it started several years ago, I found it was getting harder to do fine detail work, soldering is now difficult because of this. Essential Tremor shakiness is often called an...

California Highway Patrol still uses low band currently, 36 something to 45 something MHz, that's going to be a hurdle and I know that there is some military traffic in the low band range. If they were T mobile with a fat wallet they would stand a better chance.... Maybe they can carve out a...

It was great to have that local face behind the counter, some of the guys that worked there we went to school with. I'm going to go drink my root beer and listen to the blues while I reminisce about way back when, back in the day before the Internet 73 Jeff

When RS didn't have it, there was a drive to Sparkys Electronics on Blackstone in Fresno, electronics warehouse. 2sc1306 or 1307 you ask? How many do you need Motorola RF transistors by the handful, crystals, transformers, audio stuff, radio stuff, antenna stuff, general electronics stuff and...

The glue, actually Sonybond, has resulted in as many dead radios as dried out caps, even worse when it starts eating the leads off of components. Nasty stuff, if you see anymore get rid of it. 73 Jeff

Yes, and there was a older thread from concrete that had pictures of the antenna in his shop long before the DM version showed up. I don't contest that the Vector is a interesting design, the are hundreds of pages of info and debate and modeling that show it can be a very effective antenna when...

'm sounds like mine's bigger than your's kind thing, but hey it's only money right? No one thinks of RX. Actually there are a couple on .025 that do, Prime is running a small beam on his little station, and some cat called motor mouth maul seems to get out.... 73 Jeff

The shack back then had almost everything we needed and the guys behind the counter actually knew what you were asking for. Ic's, transistors, capacitors,tubes, diodes ,batteries,lamps, breadboards, tools, solder, wire, cable, radios,antennas,scanners, shortwave receivers, all right in front of...

Search for the " Dave made Javelin Antenna" Someone, I think it was Concrete, was working on a big beefy model of the Vector years ago, there might be a picture or two still on the forum, it was many years ago. $1200 is a lotta money for a single vertical antenna, unless you live on top of mount...

He has it posted on his YouTube page, he isn't a full time radio shop it's a second job so to speak. Here is a screenshot 73 Jeff
