I heard 630 and BC in a conversation, and Greg calling from the UP...but I'm not able to get back on the 2000. 35USB

If they still have gun shows in your area, you could take it and show it around and get a feel for it. Just keep i mind a lot will tell you what you have is junk, and what they have is gold:)

I've a few, I like the Military or Police types. Surplus or whatever you want to call it. You are correct about smith's, but that's been a long time problem. I remember going to 2 smith's on my old Springfield pump action. "67" if remember correctly. The slide bar broke and the 2 I took it to...

I gave it a try. I keep getting the message that I'm using a VPN, I'm not when trying to access the site, and it won't let me in...sorry.

I guess we've been edited, but I get your point. Been a tech since mid 90's I guess, 1st time having to pony up after the initial investment. I too got the GMRS, don't know why as I don't use it. Thought I might be able to on my IC208, but antenna won't go there I don't think as far as...

Well, got a little bit of a shock when I went to renew my ticket yesterday. I had no idea they started charging for renewals, or when. I must live in a cave

I had several BEL's over the years and they were great for the time. I will say the best one I have run is the R4, it seems to see around corners and the range seems like it's infinite here in the desert flats, also in the flats of Texas

I run a Radenso Pro in one car, bought it a while back (2014), and a R4 (2023) in our new car. Both are great compared to the RX65 I ran for a lot of years. The technology keeps getting better. The Radenso is great, the R4 is even better.

epay used to be a nice platform to sell, back when it was like a flea market. THEN it got too big, and they started to expand fees and charges and then took something from everything you do. I rarely sell on the platform, but they do offer world-wide exposure. Back when they started though you...

My wife bought me a cellphone when I was commuting to and from work, about 60 miles one way. I kept it in the car, but turned off. Meanwhile I had a 2 meter radio on while making the trip. I still have an expensive land line, and I can be reached there...unless I'm not home, then leave a message...

I had tried several times over the last year or 2 to contact them through emails and phone calls and never got a response. I thought they were already out of business.

If you don't have any skin in the game so to speak, then there's no consequences. Lost many items, and got a lot back not working or broken. I still try to have a little faith...but not so much anymore. What usually holds true is...no good deed goes unpunished.

Thanks. I was able to get the 7 MHz on a V3165 counter. So that issue is solved. The sound issue, really something that I had thought I did, was cured by cleaning the SP 1+2 switch it seems. This 1604 still doesn't lock on start, but will after moving the mode switch back and forth. I guess...

Thanks Nomad. I got to probing around the 7.8 x-tal and found it was @ 7.798 ish at D39 and D41. Further put the counter probe on the CT3 that is the adjustment for USB @TP3. Something seems to have changed just in hitting the CT3 with the probe, looking down from the front there is a little...

Next dilemma, When I get to stage 10 of the synthesizer alignment my readings go bad. Up to that point all is good. It calls for TP3 to be at 7.8015, and I'm not really getting anything. Same with all 3 stages at TP3 align.

Thanks Nomad, You were right on the power getting lost. I found that the connection marked in the uploaded photo was the problem. Although the trace had been scraped and soldered to the component, it wasn't making a connection. I put a piece of lead across the offending trace and the radio came...

Thanks Nomad. I just checked the MB3756 and have the following. 1 - 8V 2 - 13.5 3 - 8V 4 - 0V 5 - 13.5 6 - 8V 7 - 0V 8 - 0V Those voltages seem to be correct. I checked that initially, but just checked again to be sure. I have seen the 3756 fail before. The way I was looking at it I was...

Let me ask this. When I did have the VCO locked, I had a reading on pin1 of the VCO @ 7.7 or so volts. Now that I have done something, I don't know what, I have no reading of the 7.7V at pin1. I have the 7.7V at TP9 from the 1604. TP10 has 0V. R104 and R207 have been removed which takes out...

Thanks Nomad. I noticed when tracking the positive lead and it goes into the freq counter it looks like. A check between the chassis and ground pin of the DC is right to ground. I don't see anything obvious after looking over the top and bottom. Will keep going on it. I think I will remove all...
