    Anytone Smart and a KL203

    So I was playing around with my Anytone Smart CB and an RM Italy KL-203 this evening for a little bit. I was researching the worderful world of the internet, and it seems the general thought is the KL-203 is a 100w PEP amp at best, while still being "clean". Knowing my Anytone Smart is a...

    GMRS Midland MXT115

    Well, the Scope wont do deviation, but you could tell if one pot is for power, and then the other would be for Deviation... Mark them, but also try to read the value they are set at with a meter, that way you can set them back. Another way to "check" deviation is with a monitor radio, as you...

    GMRS Midland MXT115

    Wow... Way different then the Anytone Smart C, but it is the same form factor... My bet would be the 2 settings on the Midland are FM Power and Deviation... And I'll bet Deviation is the lower left one (like the Anytone Smart) Measure where the pots are currently set, tweak them and watch...

    GMRS Midland MXT115

    You know, the Midland looks a lot like the Retevis RT98 (and Anytone Smart CB)... but the Midland has a USB port. Any chance you can post a pic of the circuit board?

    Picked up a couple classics in trade

    A little dab of Mineral Spirits, a couple 4 letter words and little flat head and the Meter Needle be Swingin'! Thanks gents So this thing has been tweaked sometime in it's life (imagine that)... The mic gain at about 3 o'clock produces something close to a proper modulation envelope when fed...

    Picked up a couple classics in trade

    Thanks for the reply Rwb and Nomad. This sounds like another good reason to pop the lid on this thing. What would be your solvent of choice for this operation?

    Picked up a couple classics in trade

    A local Guy I did some swapping with a couple years back missed his KLV-1000 that he traded with me for a Skipper 300. .. Well, I guess he missed that KLV, which I never really used, so today I traded that KLV for a Uniden Washington and a Grant XL The Washington works, and sounds pretty good...

    Up/Down buttons on Midland XMT115 mic

    Cut the traces to the buttons and add 2 jumper wires to cross the signal, then rotate the buttons in the mic body so they point in the correct direction...

    Portable power and radio kit - home build?

    Just my input, if you haven't already built it.. I would put the "Void" (air intake) at the bottom, fan at the top... Heat raises.... and you only need 1 fan.... it will move the air out of that box very well Since you are not running a lot of RF power, I would worry too much about Power/RF...

    Time is now to revive CB Radio

    I think the biggest issue with CB radio available today is the lack of SSB. There are some pretty small AM/FM radios on the market: Anytone Smart CB Anytone Apollo II/Stryker SR-94HPC President Andy but they are all AM/FM The smallest AM/SSB Rig is DIN sized, which isn't that small...

    Digital modes on 11 meters

    This would be a perfect time to run FT8 or JS8 on 11 meters... I have been leaving FT8 running the past to days on 10M... recieved a dozen or CQ calls from the US and South America...

    Getting my mobile unit set up!

    Anytone Smart CB is damn small... About the same size as the President In SlowMover's Photo The Cobra 19DX You picked up is just a Basic radio. Little or no mods or internal adjustments available (Without cutting things, which is not a "Mod", Its a HACK)

    Highs

    On a Cobra 29, the Modulation transformer saturates at around 200-250 Hz... The wave form looks all jacked up, and the Audio turns to Poo That is on TX and RX.
