Well I have done more checking and reading. Seems this radio gets a pretty good bill of health. Now if I ca just find one at a garage sale for $100 LOL<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> <img...

Hey BILL and STU, All those radios that you mentioned, except the TS2000, only offer 50 watts on ssb and I want at the least 100. I have a friend that lives over 200 miles and we both want to be able to talk SSB simplex and I believe we can. The TS2000 is more than I am willing to pay, although...

General, HELL, I'm going for the EXTRA<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"> . Thats a great idea Bill, I might just do that. I have a friend that has a 706 I...

Would like to know if anyone is currently using one of these or has used one in the past. I want to get int SSB on these bands and most of the used high power equipment selld for way more than I want to pay for used. I am seriously considering this rig but I would like to get opinions on it...

Thanks guys. I really appreciate this help. I have found a few 6LQ6's on ebay for a reasonable price and I might just get those for now and do the conversion later. I had a KLV350 once and it would put out a little over 300 watts. Isn't that a little more than 2 6LQ6's would do or are they about...

Jerry, The Diamond NR-770HA is a 2m/70cm antenna that was designed to work with a very small ground plane like a mirror mount on a big truck. i picked up a used one and am going to put it on the dump truck. I have talked to 2 Hams that are truck drivers and this is the antenna that they...

Does anyone know if this conversion is possibe? If so could they help me with the info to do it? thanks fasteddy </p>

Just a little question to ponder. My opinion is that without CB Ham radio would not be nearly as popular as it is. Many many Hams get there start in CB, maybe move into freebanding, then decide to get the ticket. I've done a lot of reading on QRZ and it makes me sick to hear some of the things...

Thanks guys, I just read this now and it is always a pleasure to talk to both of you. You both were sounding great. 73's fasteddy </p>

I need to know the wiring code on a Magnum 257 microphone to the mic cord. Not the mic plug wiring, just the wiring code to hook the stock mic back to the stock cord. If you've got a 257 and wouldn't mind taking the mic apart to tell me how to wire it back up it would be greatly appreciated...

Sounds like it is missing some crystals. Open it up and see if one or two of the crystals are missing. If you know the frequency of the crystals let me know as I have a bunch. fasteddy </p>Edited by: <A...

Jerry, Great to see you on here now and then. I need you to ask your tech about a squelch mod for my 140. Hope to catch you on the radio when the conditions come in between CO and IN. Catch you later my friend. fasteddy </p>

Jake, do a search in the mods section of the forum, There has been a power mod posted for that radio. Give it a shot and let me know. fasteddy </p>

Matt, Yes the final in the radio could be bad. Every thing else is OK just low power? It still modulates and sounds the same? Then it probably is the final. A 2SC1969 is a replacemant. If you need one let me know as I have a bunch. 73's Ed fasteddy </p>

Most HF radios were designed to be SSB rigs, AM is not one of their strong suits. I don't know what you expect out of an AM rig. Your friends Kenwood would do much better if the AM filter was installed, that would help a whole bunch. How to help a FT 1000 I am not sure.You can experiment with...

David, It is always great to talk to you also. Man makes me want to get my 5 element back up. Thanks for letting me hear the MC50 also. Hope to talk again real soon. Your friend fasteddy </p>
