I just opened my last jar of everyday no-clean flux paste and it's not available anywhere anymore. I have to use another brand to restock. I like to keep a few options on hand for the different soldering tasks. So, what flux do you use? Why?

Hi, I can't find any info on this revision of board, the closest I can find is the 990010X on cbtricks. Does anyone know of any source for schematic? Thanks

I have been an avid tankless drip atomizer vape user for years, I have always rolled my own coils but recently tried premade coils. They are great, especially dual coiled for that .13 ohm at 90 watt hit with a Hellbeast RDA atop a Geekvape L200. Anyways, I have always used Cotton Bacon V2 for...

I have been inundated recently with antenna and feed line questions that I can't answer, and there seems to be as many opinions as days of the year. Do you trim your coax to fractional wavelength null? Is it a myth? Is there merit based on compromise in mobile installation or CMC?

I was brought this radio to try to fix, dead as a door nail. Pin rot on the pll, fixed. Loop oscillator was shot, replaced. Meter driver transistor had pin rot, replaced. Faulty capacitor between audio chain stage, replaced. Came alive and worked. Ordered a cap kit and recapped entire rig, but...

Looking for a six pack of these, NOS preferred. Only accepting offers from reputable members, if you aren't well known don't bother. Thank you.

I have been watching the updates and can't wrap my mind around this. I can't believe no one has mentioned it here yet. This comet is breaking all the rules, doing things it shouldn't and now has changed direction towards the sun. Yeah, gravity, but the amount of thrust required for such a...

Anyone know if this lack of contrast is repairable or if the LCD needs replacement? The backlight is strong but the characters are almost unreadable. This is a chipped radio, has been recapped and glue removed. It worked well until recently. Thanks.

Is that a Fairchild PLL? Doesn't say if it's 8719 or 8734. It had some red paint covering the symbol.

Someone told me they think this radio shares the same board as others. Also, if you know what the driver/final transistors are, kindly share. Once I get it here I can grab a few pics, just doing some research beforehand. There is some info on cbtricks although no schematic.

I'm contemplating moving my Icom 2300H from the desk to the truck. I already have a CB in it with a 102" whip, looking for an antenna I can bolt on somewhere for 2 meter also. Mag mount on the cab if I have to. The radio is 65 watts and the antenna doesn't need to handle any more than that...

Bad quality pic, but a friend sent the pic over messages and it lost quality. He said he needs another movement and SO239 on the bottom, but he doesn't know who makes it.

Is he here? I remember him from the cbtricks days, I remember him as the most helpful and a great member back then, very friendly and helped me out in the beginning. Sure would like to know he isn't SK. I hope he is well.

Looks like a large wire nut line extender, but idk... Anyone have an idea? I could crack it open, but don't want to break it.

A local brought me a box filled with parts, I know I can put it back together but I don't want to. Maybe if it was mine, and was free, and I had plenty of time on my hands. If I do, I'm looking at hours of work troubleshooting and replacing parts and ordering new parts. And, the guy says "it's...

Not a question, more sharing and documenting what needs documented. So, a guy who I do repair work for, actually a few guys all recommended me to this one guy, they gave my info to their friend who has this radio. He called me out of the blue and asked if I repair radios. I asked who he was and...

I see them on fleabay, and the green ones I'm sure are legit. Then there are the aged ones, with tarnished leads and powdery black like old chocolate, looks legit. Finally, there are new, shiny, some square, some rounded edge, those scream fake. CB world shows to have them, likely legit given...

Looking, this is a cool radio, but I'd like to see a schematic or alignment info if it exists. Thank you.

I have above radio, the counter is noisy but only noticeable during transmit. You can drop the mic gain to zero and the noise is greatly reduced, but still noticable. Unplugging power to the counter module (J409) removes all noise. Unplugging the first connector (J410 pins 1-19) also removes the...

Why is that below every thread?
