    D104 mic wiring?

    I picked this mic up for 20 bucks. I'd like to try it on my president Washington, right connector, but it doesn't work. I took the grill off the top, and it looks like the element has some holes in it. Also the white and yellow wires at the base are not connected to anything. Thanks for any...

    President Washington turning down power

    Hello all, ended up getting an RM Italy 200w amp. I understand I need to turn down the power in the radio. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

    What to do about a weathered fiberglass base antenna?

    Just scored a free imax looking antenna, but the finish coat is looking a little long in the tooth. Anything I can do? Gel coat? Electrical tape? Thanks!

    Can someone explain why nobody uses upper sideband?

    That sounds awesome! I love the vintage radios! I never hear ssb on 1-23.

    Is this amplifier a good choice?

    http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=141588969111&alt=web I read somewhere here about the little Italian amps being crappy, anyone know about this one? Thanks!

    Can someone explain why nobody uses upper sideband?

    Thanks for all the replies! It's just sad that 38 lsb sounds like 19 am much of the time. Can someone tell me if there's a difference between 10 meter ssb and 11 meter ssb? With a 10 meter radio, you can't talk on 11 meters can you?

    Can someone explain why nobody uses upper sideband?

    It's always lower sideband... At least that's my experience. Thanks

    Peak and tune questions

    Thanks, yes my roadtalker is the single power mobile unit. It has the analog round dial, not the red digital version. I love that radio, but it could use a tune up. CBS radio is a radio station office, I live very close to it.

    Peak and tune questions

    I have a few radios I'd like to have tuned. We don't have any shops here in San Diego. I was thinking about trying it myself, but but don't know if I need a scope, frequency counter etc. Frankly I have no idea what I'm doing, or where to start. Is it a simple task or complicated? The radios...

    102" mobile mount not working. Advice please

    It's a uniden ground plane I found on eBay. I figured since it's uniden, it's probably legit, no?
