    Who Else Is Fed Up With "Mud Duck Radio"?

    Good sounding radio? Should, it's an out of the box radio unless what I heard was true and he actually got the radio from Snake Radios. Skills? At what? Being a troll or a moron? It's certainly not repairing radios. Maybe you mean lying and slandering, he's pretty skilled there. Ah yes, his...

    Cobra 138XLR

    LC is hitting bullseye’s here, as usual. Mike hit the nail on the head, recap. I skimmed so I might have missed it but - corrosive/conductive glue. Look for it. Might not have a “bad” crystal but one where the leg has been eat off due to that glue. I’ll stress - recap - because I have two...

    How Bulletproof is the 13N10 Power MOSFET ??

    How the LPF “was” or “contained” this foldback that doesn’t exist. Not a verbatim quote.

    How Bulletproof is the 13N10 Power MOSFET ??

    It was four but I trimmed it down.

    How Bulletproof is the 13N10 Power MOSFET ??

    Yes, it is what it is, a radio without any foldback circuit. You could simply point it out in the schematic but you choose not to because you know good and well it’s just NOT there. If I’m dumb as a box of rocks and you’re a genius, you can simply show me even if I didn’t understand one single...

    How Bulletproof is the 13N10 Power MOSFET ??

    Tell me you're backpedaling without telling me you're backpedaling. 1) Fingers were put into it to prove a point and I believe that point was proven, very well too. 2) There's never been a cb radio with a foldback in it, never. For the most part the only "swr" circuit in most CB's has been...

    How Bulletproof is the 13N10 Power MOSFET ??

    An LPF network doesn’t contain anything related to limiting or stopping a transmitter nor reducing power. I’ll take a wild stab and say in that radio it’s probably designed to pass anything less than 35mhz. But reduce power or limit power or stop the radio from transmitting…come on, really...

    How Bulletproof is the 13N10 Power MOSFET ??

    Right, a foldback circuit would lower the power in an attempt to save the radio. That radio doesn’t have such a circuit, if it does, how about you show us on the schematic. That SWR protection can be turned off. It’s either transmit or no transmit - not reduced power. If it had the transmitter...

    How Bulletproof is the 13N10 Power MOSFET ??

    What does the TOT have to do with anything? You can turn that off. For the rest of it, it was modeled and it's nothing more than a low pass filter.

    How Bulletproof is the 13N10 Power MOSFET ??

    There’s no foldback in that radio, nor any other Anytone radio. In a sense, the radio being modulated or not doesn’t matter. If it were modulated, it might - MIGHT - have went boom or pop. Heat is heat, regardless of the source but still. Possibly if it had been modulated maybe it would’ve...

    DX 2547 Red Wire Mod?

    I like Nomad. Plus neither of those guys are here or know anything about the stuff we’re interested in.

    DX 2547 Red Wire Mod?

    It’s for some, some it’s not. I like it, works well when done “right” and the operator follows your directions. We really deserve a “story time with Uncle Nomad”, the wording & writing here made me feel like I was watching a movie voiceover like in Stand By Me. Hahaha.

    Holy crap! Look at this radio!!

    You damn right!!! Where can I get one?

    11 meter is very quiet?

    So you hear him too huh? East coast here, he’s loud and proud… it’s certainly not his “tune”.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Well right now, 9/17 on 27.185 at 8:37pm, the Sand Jawa is on, picking him up at an S9 with the RF Gain at 12 o’clock. No amp, haha. What a liar.

    WTB: Galaxy Saturn Turbo

    I’ve not seen the inside but I can already tell you to walk away. That or be prepared for someone to refurb it for you.

    It looks like a dookie box.

    Yet another candidate for the "real" Max-Mod type number?

    So you’re telling us you’ve been to the desert and seen the Jawa? You made it out alive so you must’ve paid attention OR put the lotion on the skin. Mike? Explain this driver that you speak of… Remember “one of these kids is doing his own thing…”, kinda like one of those transistors is doing...

    Yet another candidate for the "real" Max-Mod type number?

    These little rascals that stole my R2 unit... but yeah, tap tap tap. You really got to pay attention, man.

    Yet another candidate for the "real" Max-Mod type number?

    And I didn’t mean that as a step on your toes either, my friend. I just like throwing stones at Jawas.
