Thank you Simon004, Just the answers I am looking for.

I would like to know what these components are? (What I would ask for if I were buying them from a electronics supply retailer.) And how they function as components period. And taking my radio to professional for adjustments wouldn't be any fun now would it? I would imagine each and every...

I would like to know what the parts circled in yellow and in red are. What basic function do they perform. I'm not asking what function they perform on this printed circuit board. I would just like to know what they are and how they function in radio electronics? Thanks, Jimbo

Good Day To Everyone, Just looking for opinions on which multimeter should I purchase for electronics? I have been looking at the Flukes ( 114, 117...), BK Precision just for example. I would like a good quality digital multimeter. Not one for $8 I can purchase off the counter by the cash...

I purchased a juiced up competition cb radio from a shop. They have informed me the radio will work better if I use it with a 4 pill. I don't see much for discussion about these "pills"? Please. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jimbo

Hi, I have power from a 36 volt, 100 amp power supply on my truck. I am sending power to my Cobra Black Chrome Stealth Competition radio. The radio requires only 13+volt and 25-30 amps. Can I run from this supply without harm to the cb radio? If not. What do I need to do to be able to...

Hi, If I add a 30pF to 68pF ceramic disc capacitor (rated at no less than 50V) in parallel with the 220pF capacitor at C62 on my 2010 Cobra 29 LTD Classic to increase the carrier. How will increasing the carrier effect my radio’s performance? If I increase the carrier, am I increasing...
