My post may be 17 years old , but I'm not a spammer/scammer ... and I'm alive and well thank you .

I have my General Class license as well . I first received my call sign in March of 2004 ... and then I upgraded from a Technician to the General Class in March of 2007 . I spend most of my time on 40 meters , but I still have a lot of friends on the CB . So I go back there a lot as well . We...

In the older Ham radios , is it ok to mix and match you Final tubes . Not the numbers , but the companies . Is it ok to put a GE 6146 tube with an RCA 6146 in the same radio ?

That's pretty funny ... I picked up Raccoon around 1994 or 1995 . I originally got on the CB in 1978 when I was 10 years old ... and talked on my parents radio all the time until 1985 . My original handle was The Dirt Bike Kid because I rode dirt bikes all the time . I stopped talking in 1985...

What about those "DIY Digital Frequency Display" kits that are on ebay being sold by a seller in Brazil ?? Has anyone on here had any experience with those ? He has kits for multiple older radios , but none for Heathkit . Would any of them work on a Heathkit , and if so is there one that would...

I should have mentioned that . That is the issue I've been having , finding a frequency counter that will work on sideband ... sorry for not mentioning that before

Hi everyone , I have an old Heathkit SB-102 , and an old Heathkit HW-101 .... and if you know those radios , then you know they both have the old analog type dials . So you don't always know if you're on frequency or not . I love my old tube radios , so I'm looking for recommendations for a good...

I have an Icom IC-V8 , it works good except for the LCD screen is a wonky . I know it's possible to replace the LCD screen , but I've been having some trouble trying to locate the right replacement screen for the IC-V8 , and since I've found very little information about online . I was wondering...

I double checked the tube , and it has a short at pins 2, 3, and 7

It's not just POTA that gets interference . Down on 40 meters there's an ass-hat that purposely goes up and down the band tuning radios , making loud annoying sounds , and using CW on top of ongoing Nets , and over people that are just talking ... I hope to hear his radio die (or worse) sometime...

I love tube equipment , so I have a lot of it around the house , I have for years . Problem is , I've never owned a tube tester , until now . I finally broke down and bought a really nice "B&K Dyna Quik 600" tube tester . It's in beautiful condition , still has all of it's original paperwork ...

Thank you Hurricane . I've tried looking for groups before , but I don't think I looked for a groups.io ... so I'll give that a shot . I also hadn't tried looking at the components before , since I'm more of a drummer than a guitarist ... lol

Hi everyone , I've had my Heathkit HW-101 for over a year now . It quickly became one of my favorite radios . I know it was made from 1970 to 1983 ... but I can't seem to find anything that can tell me what year it was from . I've tried looking for a serial number lookup site , but I haven't had...

that was very helpful , thank you very much

I have a PAL VCO ... it's the D5 model , and I'm not finding a lot of information about them online, or much of anything about hooking them up in a radio . So I figured I'd ask a question here and see what I can find out . I have three 23 channel base stations , and I'd like to try this out with...

Here's a shot of the box that the radio came in

I'm having an easier time finding information about radios like the ARF-2001 .... and there were only a thousand of those made ... lol

Hi there everyone , Has anyone here ever seen or heard of a Sanyo TA-1000 , 23 channel , CB radio base station before ? I recently bought one ... still new in it's original box , with it's original stock mic and hardware ... and it's in "Very New" condition . It works good ...

This is still available

I have a GOOD WORKING President Washington CB Radio Base Station that I'm selling . This has a 5 pin mic jack , not a 4 pin . But it does have the President name on it , and not not Uniden . This radio has recently been to an experienced radio tech and checked out , and everything is fine . I've...
