Ok I'm gonna redo the mic plug. It doesn't have the relay it's the new 3 button one. Hopefully that fixes it because their aren't any good shops around here.
Ok guys update on the washington. I was told by my uncle it was never tuned up but it turns out it was. The modulation limiter was clipped and it was dead keying 5 watts swinging 20 on am and 20 watts on ssb. I tuned it back to around 4 watts swinging to 15 on am and around 15-18 watts on ssb...
Ok I got it wired but the modulation still drops off some times and I know it's not the turner. I really hope its something simple beacause the radio is mint condition. I was the first person to pull the cover off. I was going to blow the dust out but it turns out their wasn't much, it had been...
Just picked up a mint condition uniden washington with the 8719 PLL. It has amazing recive but the modulation could be better. Every now and then it looses modulation completly and I think it's in the stock hand mic, I hope anyway. You can unkey, wiggle the cord and then it will come back. I...
It's been awhile since my last post because I have been very busy, sorry about that. My question is that over on the the world radio club forum they have a weekly check in where all of the world radio members check in on 38lsb and chat. I thought maybe we could put something together similar for...
I just talked to 0302 Washington(on 27.385 lsb) and heard a couple of stations in Hawaii. I have also been listening to 399 in South America but can't seem to make contact. Conditions aren't much but they're improving. This is the first time in about a month for me, any one else been having any...
Without a transistor checker it would be almost impossible to tell correct? I took two radios the bad one and a good one, keyed the bad one next to the good one and only saw a slight meter movement. Although it could be a bad driver which is leaking enough energy to be picked up, I think it is...
I have a radio here I am working on for a friend the final is blown and it is a 2sc-1096. I seem to be having trouble finding that one but I was wondering if there was another type that would be a direct replacement? By the way the radio is a teaberry big "t". Any ideas? Also any tune up points...
I went and got the turner +3 this evening and wired it to my radio. So far talked to three locals and they said I sounded really good. I have the mic gain on my radio at about 2 o'clock and the mic gain on the turner at about 9 o'clock. Still playing with were I want it though. Right know I am...
Just talked to one of the locals and he agreed to give me a turner +3. He hasn't used it in a while so he is unsure if its in working order or not. I will pick it up today or tommorow and try it out. I'll let you guys know when I get it.
"does this radio have the 6 pin connector if so I have an extra one already modded if you're interested." No it is a 4 pin but thanks anyway. Also what is the "Bob85" mod?
Booty my galaxy already has variable talkback from the factory. Also I don't care for echo mikes not that it isn't a good mike it's just not for me. I might see if I can't borrow a d-104 off one of the locals and see how I like it. I think I know where I can borrow a turner +3 too. If I can't...
Some people say the d-104 just doesn't sound right on the newer radios I don't now if there is any truth to it or not. I may see if I can pick up a d-104 locally if not I am thinking about the astatic 878 desk mike. I personally like the looks better than the galaxy desk mic. I am going to do...
