I had my thoughts mixed up. Of course the clarifier's voltage will be from an 8v source and not 5v. :P Different then that of the PLL. Hoping its not some kind of a capacitor issue or if the previous person messed with the tuning cans.

Id have to go see where I tapped under the board for 5v when I unlocked the clarifier, but are you getting 5v on any of the pins on the PLL? There should at least be the 1 pin that gets 5v for the chip. If there is nothing there, then maybe something is going on with the 5v regulator. Do any of...

That may be the case. :)

Now debating if I put that crystal in the Midland 13-893 mobile radio or if I put it in my Cobra 139 base radio. :)

I may throw away my RM Italy 203P once it stops working, but ive bought it in 2011 and it keeps working to this day. :) What I meant earlier was that don't be throwing 25+ watts into an RM Italy. Many lower wattage amps may work like that, it isn't recommended.

Reduce the eggs.. I guess reduce the watts... :D :P Huevos Rancheros con queso de diabo! :D :P

I am in favour of being able to return that radio back to stock. Unlocked clarifier is a must, but the driver/final should of been left alone. If one wants more power, let the foot warmer do the work... :) Though hammering on a RM Italy 203 might not be the choice lol....

The Galaxy 99v that was given to me for sure is rock solid stability when you leave it on for about half an hour. I can tune into other stations talking and it never drifts off. One thing I caught onto early on the radio while I was using it, it seemed like the RF power would gradually go down...

In recent years Its almost discouraging to sit down and eat anywhere, even fast food places. The prices of stuff alone makes a single meal not worth it. Though I will give credit to the little food place in Hutchinson at the Amtrak train station. Probably thee best breakfast I have had going...

Yer good. I have no doubts you are right. Thanks again. I better get to bed. Good night.

I was worried for a bit if I could adjust it some so it can get closer to where it needs to be. :) Good to know it should work.

purchased. :) Thank ya!

Appreciate it. I suppose it will just have to be a patience game for something like that to come up and for it not cost an arm and a leg lol.

Ahhh. Something like this? Midland 13-893 Ardurino project

Seeing those pictures, I knew I seen a video on that collection a few years ago... Found it again. Big CB Radio Collection

My oldest brother sometimes buys random stuff off Mercari. So far hasn't had issues.

Makes me wish there was some New Old Stock of the 40 channel conversion kits sitting somewhere lol. Beta-Com Switch

Ahhh. I was afraid to hear that its pretty much unobtanium to find the crystal

Hello fellow CBers! Making sure if I got this right. The Midland 13-893 is essentially a Cobra 138 23 Channel SSB radio. That being said, according to this page, one would need a 8.549 MHz crystal to obtain Channel 35, 36, 37, and 38. 138,139, Midland 13-893, 13-895 Crystal Mixing According to...

I used to look around craiglists and facebook marketplace, but even then its a hit and miss every time. Sometimes it can be like pulling teeth trying to get a response on a listing, only to get told "it sold" days later.
