There is a variable tuner inside the case(bottom) that tunes the input. Flip it upside down, and take the bottom off. It's been a few years since I have tuned the input on a Elkin four tube and six tube. Take a picture of it if you can.

Lots of noise pointing towards Europe today. It's raining solar protons, and my radio hears it. It's a good bit quieter pointing towards South America. Finally, made contact with Ecuador for the first time. Only time I have ever heard division 61. The contact was 61RC104 from Quito...

Go into menu, and do a reset all.

Finally logged Rwanda 227AT160 at 5/5. Thought I would never get through that pile up lol.

Around 2:00 PM est., static got very loud on my radio. Did not matter which way I turned my beam. Did have better conditions in the morning though. Logged Russia and Qatar which is rare for me. There was a Turkish station that I could hear good 5/6, but the European operators created a...

tramdr from CB Radio History Channel on YouTube reversed engineered, power supply schematic only, an Elkin four tube that is ob2(tubes) regulated. Schematics are on the video. Not sure if it will help you or not. He has some other videos on Elkin amps too. Send tramdr some pictures, or make a...

On Sunday the 3rd, around about 3:00 PM est., noise just all of a sudden got very bad in my receiver. AM side was just a loud hum, and SSB was super noisy too. Thought something had happened to coax and antenna. Nope, it was G2 solar storm causing the noise some how or another. My radio was...

Have fun just be aware of the travel advisory. Jamaica Travel Advisory.

@BC Coyote Thanks! I got lucky. I just happened to be on the frequency when he called. I spotted him on ClusterDX, and now others are spotting.

Finally got Kenya just now. Made contact with 187DA/DX from Nairobi, Kenya on 27.585 USB. Conditions on my end not that good this afternoon. We were both at 5/3, but he was crystal clear on my radio.

The Gambia activation now 118AT/0 27.590 USB. He was 5/7 into western NC. Good DX!

Malawi 226SD/O active split 609/614 USB. He was 5/7 into western NC. Short but sweet contact.

Not one amplified mic that I have tried has had better modulation than the Anytone stock electret microphone on various Anytone branded radios or radios with Anytone boards. Not a D-104 hand held, or a K-Po with amplfied electret element will out modulate the stock microphone. Stock electret...

@unit_399 Yesterday morning I was up on 27.630 USB passing by, and it was hopping. Sounded like, at least, three or four QSO's going on plus others calling CQ. Even heard a station from Kuwait calling CQ, but I did not want to be rude with all the QSO's going.

Andrew from division 50 in Stalingrad, Russia was booming in here to NC this morning on 27.400 LSB. Had a good QSO with him. He said he was doing 200 watts on a five element Yagi antenna.

I heard JJ around the first part of this past week on channel 37 LSB, and he was peaking 30+ into my QTH here in western NC. Heard him talk to a station in eastern NC, so I thought I might have a good chance to make contact. JJ never heard me. My transmit must have been jumping right over him...

I heard you that evening talking to 3RCA032 in Brazil on the back side of my beam. Was going to point it your way, but would have probably lost you.

It's the same outfit. DNJ sells under various business names.

Walmart has the Vector and 2016 in stock. Sold by DNJ.

Been having some good conditions here in Western, NC foothills. My longest DX contact yet beaming east came yesterday. Operator name, Luca, 257 AlphaTango Zero from division 257, Rodriguez Island, in the Indian Ocean. Rodriguez Island is just over 500 miles east of Reunion Island. Talked to a...
