Did you try keying another radio nearby on the same channel to see if you get a meter deflection?

A modified version of a comic I saw on the web. A “caveat emptor” warning that should apply to anyone seeking an honest and reliable repairman. I may make some additional changes at a later date....Possible QSL card....LOL

Interesting post! I just had to research that behemoth a little further.. This is just a few links about the Rugby station's tuning inductor...

Tom tried to follow and be cool, but I think Janis schooled him with her energetic action.

I found the content of WBCQ “The Planet” to be a very diverse. Nowadays, I ‘m not enthused to listen very long with shortwave broadcasts that often fade with audio distortion. Unlike collecting QSL conformations like I did in my youth, I’m now interested only in their content. After looking at...

I noticed that CBtricks has a rather poor copy of Sam’s #207 for that radio. I have that book and will post a better version when time allows.

A lot of the older Bearcat scanners were plagued with corrosive glue. If you’re Bearcat has that glue, you will see it around and under some of the larger electrolytic caps, crystals etc. It needs to be removed ASAP, and that includes changing most of those components associated with it. My...

I got a little teary eyed....

I've seen several Surveyor radios in the past. This one is entirely a different animal. As seen in the photo, all of the electrolytic caps were changed except the large blue 1000uF cap next to the audio IC. I was concerned about that issue, but that one has been replaced since the arrival of...

I would put this radio in the rare category. Before now, I never seen or worked on one before. Looking at the data plate, it was made during the early transition to 40 channels. To get more acquainted, I decided to do a full restoration. Several apparent faults needed to be corrected first. The...

Today’s watered down version of Heinz Ketchup in a squeeze bottle doesn’t compare. If you want that same flavor and texture of yesteryear's Ketchup, you need to buy their Chili Sauce, a smaller bottle and a higher price of course. I prefer it, but I doubt the kids appreciate the difference...

This is the spliced together version of the Sears 934.36771500 for those who would like one for their archive.

I thing of beauty… Good old 02A Cybernet radios are among my favorites. I have several of those, both the 13-888 23 channel and the 77-888 40 channel versions. Along with changing all the electrolytic caps, the mic jacks were changed to accept the 4 pin Cobra standard. Anyway, I was never fond...

This is the President Madison spliced together version for those who would like one for their archive.

Recently I was presented with a Cobra 19 Ultra III that had a blown final even though the TX scale on the front panel would still show all 4 bars when keyed. ?? After replacing the final I looked for some sort of TX meter adjustment, or typically a pot. The RX side has an S meter adjustment...

Cooling down....62 deg-72deg F Although I now seen a few birds that seemed to have changed their traditional migration habits, I haven’t seen our dark eyed Juncos yet. I expect it won’t be long, as they always show up cleaning up the spilled seeds on our deck.

Thanks for posting...This is my spliced together version of the schematic.

By editing out languages other than English, substantial file space is saved, plus its less aggravating. This will be my personal pdf in case I ever decide to purchase a George II.

I haven't heard him lately, but meanwhile "I 44 CB Store" out of MO keeps playing their little music jingle. I understand they have been asked to turn that jingle off during skip periods, but refused to do so. They simply use the argument in saying, "they are not responsible for skip...
