Well, I picked up a BK 1856d. So, we’ll see how that goes.

B&K discontinued these units. I’d like to buy one new or used in good condition. If I can’t, I’d obviously be open to something else. Do y’all have any ideas on something similar? These units were reasonably priced between $400-$500. It seams like similar featured units run a few thousand...

Absolutely the 503HD version over the low drive unit. When I had the 503, I ended up bypassing the driver resulting in about 50 watts more pep ssb. And, unless you crank up your AM carrier to a ridiculous amount, it’ll handle everything that 2547 puts out. I wouldn’t be afraid to run it w/ a 5w...

Is this still a solid program for aligning receive? Sometimes software developers fall behind with updates as operating systems update. This is something I'd like to incorporate onto another bench.

This is an actual finished product. I was able to purchase 20 and now they’re gone. No classics, chromes or LX’s are to be had through cobra, at this point, to my knowledge. Cobra had them on Amazon for a brief period and they’re out.

Remember when you didn’t have to think much because you’d been inside a Cobra 29 13.7 thousand times? Hashtag “GoodTimes” Well, it’s still the same basic setup and, strangely, still no mosfet. Here’s a peak at the Cobra 29LX. Semantics? Mosfet conversion? Swing kits? It’ll be fun watching...

I’ll trace these to the board and report back with the wire colors for each pin. Thanks.

I searched through them but all I could find was 6 pin Uniden 6 pin microphone color/pin out. I know which pins (1-6) are for what but I don’t know which color goes to which on this mic. I could ave sworn Handy Andy posted it somewhere but, of course, now that I actually need it lol...

Anyone have the pin out for the bc996w mic? This is how I received it. Black White Red Orange Shield Clear-ish

Wow. That is old news (2014). You got me excited for a minute.

What’s up with Mike?

Been forever since I’ve had one but the V2 version normally had sticker on the box. It was a round sticker and it seems like it had a big number 2 on it or something like that. It had a mosfet in it. The tricky thing is that Stryker mixed up the boxes or the labeling during the transition. I...

There’s a high drive version???

I’ve recently had 3 99v2 radios keying up when they shouldn’t. Normally, it’s an issue of two legs on the mic board shorting. Recently, however, it has been an issue of the echo board pinching one of the wires that is soldered to the Band knob pot. These echo boards don’t have enough space and...

Ok done deal. Ordered the 951-66. Almost went with the 203 dual iron but after all the $20/tips, it gets up there. Thanks for the input.

I’m looking at the Hakko 951. Tips = Copper-iron chrome alloy. (?) Ive never had to know anything about tips. I’ve always just replaced my Weller tips with OEM tips and I think they’re stainless.

I’ve used the Weller wes51 for about 10 years. This is my second and it’s time to replace it. I’d like to upgrade. I’ve replaced the iron a a few times and many tips. They don’t last. Recommendations for the best units under $300, please. Mostly through board components.

Yes.
