That thing will blow a Golden Eagle right off the desk. Already has wideband receive for the other stations on channel 6.

I agree that is the base to have these day, my old Galaxy Dx 2517 still has a lot to offer but I would like to be able to listen to 10 and 12 meter. There is a reason those big black radios have been around so long, good form factor. Btw my 2517 is stable but my power level is set pretty much...

I have come to the conclusion vintage radios need a vintage tech, The guys that saw all of the problems when these radios were new. Thankfully there are still a few good vintage techs out there to help with the boat anchors we love.

The trick with stability on the 2547 is to leave it pluged in all the time. The switching power supply will stay warm and keep the thing pre heated, otherwise it takes 20-30 min to stabilize.

Good advice, I run brave at home so no ads. Here at work I am stuck on Edge so the premium membership really helps.

The new am/fm model?

After I had my 2517 for about a year vr14 am/fm high power went out on me.

I wish I had bought a few when they could be had for $99.

There is a service manual, with full schematic and part layout/ list. Any president dealer will have no trouble obtaining it. Now finding a service manual for the quad 6 pro may be more difficult.

Sometimes I go to the local boot hill to talk 11m mobile with some of the base guys I have a hard time hearing from the house.

According to Reuters the handhelds that exploded were Icom IC-V82 vhf hts.

Perhaps a backdoor into the protection chip on the Lithium battery, I have also seen reports of solar system explosions in Lebanon. We all carry bombs in our pockets these days.

I tried to download the nte cross-reference software a few weeks ago but the link was not working. Maybe someone can direct me to the file before it is gone forever.

It is worth fixing, those are great radios.

I have the part you need on a salvage board, send me a pm. Also I am looking for t7 out of an old cobra 85

Just picked one of these up at the hamfest, mine has 2 6lb6 finals.

I like to recap old mobile sweep tube linears, useless to most people but I really enjoy them. The thing is money is tight these days and high voltage capacitors are not cheap. Many of the mobile amps I have use 500 volt capacitors in the filter circuit. The Golden Falcon 150 (1x2 8950) I have...

You can do it, I run either browning rg8x doublsheild or lmr 240 for jumpers between equipment and also have a grounding bus that transceiver , amplifier and tuner are all connected to with flat copper braid going outside to a ground rod and I have no feedback issues in the house at all. Watch...

Keep it coming. My red diamond is still on the back burner but I ordered a kit of 2 watt resistors for it so hopefully I will get it running over the winter.
