Ok, I hooked the radio up to my power supply(47 amp) on my bench and ran it thru a watt meter to a dummy load. No output at all now! I can hear the transmit relay keying but, no output. And the band indicator next to the channel indicator no longer shows which band the radio is on. The board is...

Hope you enjoy the 7000. One of the best mobile rigs I own! If you plan on using it as a base rig, do yourself a favor and get one of those little 7" Coby TV's that have a standard video input (using a 1/8th inch mono plug & cable) hook it up to the video out on the 7000 and you'll have a very...

Hi, sorry for not getting back sooner. (working 14+ hr days is a killer!) I will in the next day or so pull the cover and see which board it is. I had looked at CBTricks and couldn't find a schematic there. I agree that the first time the finals were blown that the culprit was most likely the...

Hi, a good friend of mine just gave me his Connex 3400 HP today. He has had it less than three months. And in that time, it has blown the finals twice!! The first time he took it back to the shop where he got it. (after about a week) And paid to have the finals replaced. Repairman said his...

He also haunts 14.313 on 20 meters nearly everyday. And there is a whole gang of other misfits that go back and forth with him the whole time. It goes on for DAYS at a time. Some folks will do anything for attention. Trucker

Saw a Ranger 5054DX at HAMCOM in Plano this past Saturday. Almost new in the box. Good looking rig. Guy only wanted $150 for it. If I hadn't already had several mobile rigs that covered 6 meters, I'd have bought it. As far as I know, no one bought it. Keep looking and you'll find one at a good...

Other than wire size and UV resistance, I would also find out if it is shielded or not. Depending on power levels you intend to run (or could in the future) RFI on the rotor cable can be a problem. Better to have the extra shielding and not need it, than to need it and not have it. james...

Same here, my 7000 never gets into the red even when I am into a long QSO. It does feel quite hot, but, it does have a large heatsink. It shouldn't have problems. If it makes you feel better, direct a small fan on it. Just be sure it's not blowing against the internal fan when it kicks...

Scott, Very nice radio! I'm still looking for an SX-96 or even an SX-100. Looks like you have quite a collection going. james
