    You could try the "heat and beat". Not my term. Essentially you reflow all the solder around the PLL one at a time. Flow and cool,, key the mic and gently tap the side of the case of the radio(beat). You may find that you will find one(or a few)pins on the PLL has a cold solder joint. I would...

    No PA? Audio IC most likely. Seems like you have voltage coming in. Look for stuff that looks not right.

    Favourite radio shop to deal with

    Might just want to do a search on ARRL. Have seen many radio stacks that have a CB in it. They are more likely to have the proper equipment to do a proper job. Will try to make you a HAM, what have you got to lose. You will learn something, and your stuff will work right. Probably won't have to...

    RBC your pic looks good. However, your link is for a mic condenser. More back plate would be good. 73's.

    So sad. That greedy folks might be out of a job. Now they will have to do nothing(no pride in business to make money), A sparkplug will start making cb's and ssb's in the US right after minimum wage in California is $20. CB's will be more expensive but rest assured they will all have Chinese...

    TRC-490 MB8734 Channel mod question

    Handy Andy, are you available for other questions? Normally you post something here and get a brand new discussion that has nothing to do what someone asks. Example I have high reflect. Gets "wow that is way to high". The recommendations are sound but I loose alot in the discussion. I have got...

    MegaWatt S-700-12 switching power supply

    The 50 amp MWPS are loud but they will haul the mail. Great customer support. I have had ignorance issues and they have helped me out. My 36 amp is super quiet. Have 3 50's for various projects and the next one will be another 36 amp. Tie 2 of those together lots of amps and quiet as well. PS...

    Base PDL II

    Take a trip to the dump. Look for the appliance area. Look like you are not a wire pirate. Take your plunder(washing machines old). It will be heavily enameled. Exacto.

    How much do your assistants draw?

    I also have a question about the breaker amperage in the breaker panel. I am now running 3 50 amp supplies connected together. I have seen mention of using multiple outlets. I also have noticed when I plug in on a wall that I have my 110v wire feed welder(30a breaker) I am seeing a larger amp...

    How much do your assistants draw?

    Interesting you mention that. I was running it on the same previously on my S-400. 3w dead key swinging 12-15ish if the meters I have are telling me the truth.. I stopped using it because I felt I was to close to its max and got the 50A. If I am following what CK is telling me that 4 transistor...

    http://www.testequipmenthq.com/datasheets/Rohde-Schwarz-CMD55-Datasheet.pdf Kaos, that particular model seems to be cellular phone specific. Page 29 has the CMD55 specifics. Hopefully somebody on here is the more familiar with the brand will chime in. These test sets are really cool: RF...

    How much do your assistants draw?

    I am posting this due to the fact that I have made horrible costly mistakes. I know now that a 50 amp supply will not run a low gain 4 transistor(1446) assistant(why it is capable of pulling 66 amps). Do not base your supply on fuse. I also know that a 100 amp will not run a 1 driving 8...

    Kris Power Pump Upgrade/ Restoration

    OLT, myself and the folks I work with are recycling(scavangers). We struggle to find anything good at this point. There is nothing left here pillaged(CA en-tilted attitude). When I look at the GSA auctions all items "in need of repair" CA wins. I would have to say that the folks in CA are no...
