It is a great thread! I am going to have to come back to this thread when I am actual working on my radio. A lot of information in very compressed responses.

I was going to purchase the second one but someone else got to it first. It is true NOS NIB. It arrived today! It has the red channel LED display not blue and it is the Bipolar version with the 2SC1969. I was hoping it would be the bipolar version! Love how compact it is! Thanks for...

For me it is all about size. I talk 75% SSB and 25% AM. It has to fit in a modern car. I have to be able to actual work the control while driving. I can live some drift. I just could not say no to an FCC type approved SSB rig with through hole componets for $199 NOS NIB. I know it is not a...

Thanks guys! I ordered 3 for now will prob. order more latter. I think I have at least 4 CB's that use that PLL and so 3 should be suffcient. I think I have one some place.

So they are obsolete but I would like to have a few on hand for the future. I am looking for the actual ones not the RCI version. Ebay has them a dime a dozen but I am hesitant for obvious reasons. Am I am worrying about nothing with reguards to this PLL and fakes? Is there a chance the fakes...

Change the input on the amp your running to account for output power. That is most of the difference between say a TS350 or a TS350HD. Sure it is nice having a pot you can twist under the cover to set low power and high power but today that is becoming more rare. I dare say almost everyone...

That price is mighty steep! IF there is one thing we should have all learned by now it is that seperating a fool from his money is quick and easy! Just look at how like the Stryker 955 has been doing it steadily! If you purchase from Wolfman it is PT Parnums dream come true. This is just more of...

So I found this while researching for an affordable TCXO mod for Galaxy radio's. It is from 2019. It seems reasonable to me but I have never tried anything like this. I am a parts swaper at best with Mouser and Digi-Key account not a real Electronic Technician! I know just enough to get myself...

The easiest work around would be to purchase headphones of high impeadance that are diffacult to drive. That is why headphone amps are a thing so in hifi circles there are headphone amps that start around 1.5w for normal use that go up to 50w per channel when driving diffacult headphones and...

In years gon by headphones designed and sold for metal detecting where dual mono.

You know outside of Gold Finger audio mods for transmit and recieve audio and 2SC1973 mod not a lot out there on this little radio. The term "Red headed step child" is too mild! It seems like the greater community droped a steaming turd on it once it was born and left it for dead. LOL I have...

I have seen that before too. Not in a long long time though.

That is always tough helping a friend from a distance. If the mod was done with crystals and a switch ala Expo or LC type board you get an entirely different channel map than if it is a hack of the stock pll. So sadly how the channels where come by does matter in what the channel map will look...

I think the crystal is a different freq. than the 148GTL or Uniden Grant XL. Outside of that it is similar performance.

Well it should have a MB8719 PLL. So it should match ever other MB8719 PLL two switch mod. I spent less than 2 seconds on google so I am confident if you look you will easily find this info. Find out if it is a PLL hack or if it is the Expo type hi/lo/normal kit with crystal. Good Luck to...

So I spent last night on the sight looking at past threads and downloading support documents from CB Tricks. It has not arrived yet so I have no clue if it is the older origanal bipolar design or if it is the latter mosfet design. When I know more I will report back. I do not need more rf...

Well I too have some hate but not for legit use of radio or POTA! I get tired of people with stupid amounts of power effectively killing comm's like how channel 6 is. Every single person on the bowl should have been caught and sent to Prison for a 2-10 years by now. I am talking about the well...

Glad you pulled through! Funny how drunks and potty mouth ignorant fools always find a radio and often a decently powerful amp. I remember back in the day when we had local "nets" and they where actively policed there where many a times 10-15 good ol boys hoped in trucks and paid a visit to...

Sadly I am old enough that I got that reference right away!

I have been saying this for years. Blue light also disrupts the quality of your sleep. Red and Green where used for decades not just because they could not make blue LED's but they knew those colors where not that hard on the eye's to look at, did not destroy night vision, and did not look like...
