    Trc 458 no receive and carrier on ssb

    People on Facebook? Ok that speaks volumes to your attitude. But just to show you no hard feelings don't use your little bag of trimmer "pots" be sure they are trimmer "Caps" there is a big difference.

    Trc 458 no receive and carrier on ssb

    Funny you mention the upc1156H I just received 2 of those in the mail as I have a Robyn 510D mobile that oddly enough was given to me 5 years ago the man said he didn't even get to use it as he hooked it up backwards so to speak it looks like a brand new radio but I put it on the shelf and...

    Trc 458 no receive and carrier on ssb

    Well if you can actually read schematics that should also mean you can tell the difference between "RECEIVE" circuits, PLL circuits, Transmitter circuits, VCO circuits, AGC circuits, Mic Preamp circuits, Receive mixer stages, Transmit mixer stages, Audio amp stages and of course "BALANCED"...

    PRESIDENT WASHINGTON PLL858 RADIO CHANNEL SELECTOR?

    If the ribbon cable is with it that is fine as well. Let me know what you need for it and shipping and I will get it to you. Oh I assume it worked you just replaced it with something else.

    PRESIDENT WASHINGTON PLL858 RADIO CHANNEL SELECTOR?

    Thought I would ask you never know. I brought back from the dead a PRESIDENT WASHINGTON it tested my patience and forced me to get back to what I used to teach with respect to the proper approach to trouble shooting, anyway. After fixing all the problems it become obvious the channel selector...

    Looking for a Modulation Meter for a GE Super Base CB Base Station

    Like Nomad I try not to work on radios anymore that I know it will be a real problem to find parts for, That being said I think if you still have the original meter you may be able to find that type meter in another radio and you can remove the face behind the needle and place it another meter I...

    I found this old Centurion, says it's 45 watts input!

    The 45 watts is most likely the Power Supply rating not the RF.

    Galaxy DX 94HP Big Rig will not power on...

    With my credentials that I will not go into you would think I would be able to find all problems in a matter of minutes but NO! that isn't the way it works. I have been guilty of jumping to the end of line only to say Ok Dennis this isn't working so do like you taught it in Tech School and that...

    Galaxy DX 94HP Big Rig will not power on...

    Well yes, a cap could cause issues like that, what I was wondering is if the only current spike he seen was 20 milliamps it most likely would not be a cap shorting a regulated source down to nothing. I'm kind of in the bad solder issue of some kind if the switch is not the issue. We will see...

    Galaxy DX 94HP Big Rig will not power on...

    If the power switch is the problem simply put a test probe on the switched side, turn on the switch if you have power on both sides of the switch then on to other issues. If it is a capacitor that would also be easy to track down especially if voltage is being supplied to the board one would...

    Is there anyone in the Hot Springs Arkansa area that works on cb radios?

    If you remember I did ask you if you had that switch on? Good that is that it was.

    Is there anyone in the Hot Springs Arkansa area that works on cb radios?

    Ok, best I can remember the filament voltage is mostly isolated from the rest of the radio simply meaning there is either a break in the voltage supply or the heater switch is faulty or there is an issue in the AC line plug that connects pin 9 to pin 11 which in turn delivers the 12.6 vac to the...

    Is there anyone in the Hot Springs Arkansa area that works on cb radios?

    I assume the heater switch on the front is on? Just making sure.

    Is there anyone in the Hot Springs Arkansa area that works on cb radios?

    Does it Receive? The reason I ask this is because there should be an accessory plug in the back next to the SO239 antenna plug if it's missing it will not allow the tubes to get filament voltage if the seller is a tech he may have done a cold neutralization adjustment and forgot to put the plug...
