    Bear Cat 980 Am Transmit.

    I did an NPC mod on a 980 a few years ago and direct injected . The direct inject needed a 50dB pad. I can’t recall the points but I traced the foil runs and made jumper wires from there.

    President Madison Direct Inject

    Direct injecting a Madison is the exact same as injecting a 2000. Both need line level audio. Normally UR6QW/W2IHY types of audio equipment run at mic level into the stock mic preamp of the radio via the front mic jack. That in turn get amplified to line level and can drive the stock modulator...

    RF and a pacemaker

    A big strapper I know had an LVAD installed before he got his transplant. Ran 50kW for years on a base station if that counts for anything

    2sc2290 in a connex or galaxy

    Like the 2510 obsolescence, i waned a board to replace the 1969 , 2312 or whatever bipolar in the case they go belly up also. I like to have options. Like the 2510, I wanted to side by side the 2290,2879, 454, 455 and the 1446 but I’m dragging my feet as I got sidetracked with an LDMOS project

    2sc2290 in a connex or galaxy

    I never got around to installing the board. My issue with the tab is that the metal tab mounts to the board then it’s screwed into the chassis. So the tab never makes a metal to metal contact with the chassis for efficient heat transfer. It may work fine , as Connex’s daughter board is built the...

    2sc2290 in a connex or galaxy

    I was gonna build one then found out dude on FB was making one so I wanted to see his board so I bought one. It’s built on the Connex CX4300HP final section. My only gripe was the way they did the tabs. I wanted to make boards for myself for 1969 replacements.Nothing special really.

    Speech Processor??? Anyone Have Info

    The chip on the SP-1A is a Compander SA-571, I've built a few boards and they do work well. Although similar , the Cobra ST compander sucks and sounds like poop compared to the SP-1A IMO

    President Lincoln 2 V3 Swing Mod

    If the tech don’t understand the RWOB he don’t understand Finals in SSB mode. I did NPC on my Lincoln, direct inject, ran a Mauldulator for grins and giggles. The thing I did not like with these newer Surface Mount radios, ala 980, Lincoln, Stryker and such is the detection on the receive side...

    President Lincoln 2 V3 Swing Mod

    Lincoln II is basically a Stryker 955 in different clothes. Mic and mod circuit is the same. NPC mod will allow you to swing for the fences if you wanted

    Swing kit for president Lincoln 2 +

    Easy way is do it like the eBay swing mods if using through board parts. Just add wires to the ends and heat shrink. Easier to attach wires than rigid component leads.

    uniden bearcat 880

    Back when the 880 and new line of Uniden surface mount radios came out. I bought a few to test. Maxing the RF section out is a no go on these things. As Monk pointed out using coils from donor radios is optional but I can tell you that it wont gain much. I tried using 25/29 back end to see if...

    RCI 2950, zero VCO voltage

    Courtesy of Buttfuzz: MODEL: RANGER RCI-2950 PROBLEM: Unit fails to operate on initial turn on. Turning the radio off then back on causes the radio to operate. REMEDY: This problem is usually caused by the V.C.O. being out of lock. In order to prevent future occurrences, it will be necessary to...
