First over the seas contact for me this morning in the mobile! Scotland was rolling in left and right on 38LSB. I was able to make two confirmed contacts with Scotland and 1 to England. I was on my way to work and I didn't want to leave the truck! Before I got out of the truck there were two...

Oh I agree about buyer beware. But I have seen a couple ads where some deals could be had. There is a guy selling a big box full of radios and misc items for an asking price of 160 but in the first picture I can see a wilson 5000 and a president Madison base along with another base radio and...

Is there a certain area or a certain thread dedicated for Craigslist ads? This has been on Craigslist for a several weeks now..the price hasnt budged. Browning Eagle MKIV I'm not interested in it but some of yall maybe. Browning Eagle MKIV CB Radio/SSB

You read well, you didn't miss a thing. :D I understand what your saying and I probably should have done that exact thing but I'm just going to have it fixed. But I'm 99% sure my next radio will be brand new! What I will probably do is just sell it for cheap to my buddy back home in...

Thanks! I actually just got the paper work all typed up and she's in a box about to get packed up. I'm having him fix everything(obviously) and have it aligned and tuned to run with my TS500v and/or my new RM Italy 203P. Is there any of modifications that are worth doing to this radio?

I do have a DVM, but I'm just gonna send it to DTB today. I figured by the time I get done tinkering with it it could have already been at his shop waiting in line.. Just out of curiosity, what generally causes the two parts to fail?

Oh I'm not too down about it! No worries. On to the next one haha. I've still got to find a power supply to run the little amp I picked up. From what RM Italy says a 12amp power supply should be fine for it but I'd rather get something a little larger so I can run the radio and amp off of...

Haha glad to hear he got you set up! I'll be sending it out for sure. I guess I'm just curious on what thins I could do to help soften the blow to the wallet. I should just cut my loses. :p Well after some searching it seems that the MOSFETs were installed some time in 2010 and this radio has a...

We'll I plan on boxing this turd up nicely. I just don't want it to come back to me fixed but DOA when I open the box up. Still not 100% sure where it's going just yet. Does anyone know how I can test the final and or driver?

Another question: Has anyone had shipping issues with DTB radio? I saw a post on another forum stating DTB radio shipped the radio with no pading..just a radio in a box.

Yeah I see what you saying. I guess I was a little vague on the SWR. I checked the SWR on my Dipole with my Realistic 465 with an external meter and I had to tune the new Wilson with my Uniden PC78LTW with the same external meter. I mentioned that the internal meter didn't work earlier. It...

Just called bells and they are 10-12 weeks out on repairs!! That's a bummer. I'm probably gonna send it off tomorrow.

I've tried it on AM, USB, LSB and isn't in PA. I've switched every switch and turned every dial that's on it. I opened up the bottom and nothing looks like it has been cut. The AM high power pot wasn't even close to being turned wide open. I didn't set anything different from how I found it...

He was CB savvy but I wouldn't call him an expert by any means. Can I test the driver or final? Or should I just chalk this one up and send it off? When I key the mic the RX/TX light changes color, the lights dim.. (like its drawing some current) I hear my self in the talk back and if I'm...

Here's a not so good update. The radio won't transmit. Receives great, I can hear my self on the talk back but when keyed up it shows nothing on my external meter. I texted the guy I got it from thinking he wouldn't respond but he actually did. He's not sure why it doesn't work because he...

We'll I guess I didn't get a smoking deal but the amp is gonna be perfect for the base. I'm probably gonna get the 959 tuned up and put it in the truck and take the road talker out of the truck and use it as the base. I just need a power supply for the amp and I'll be set.

Picked up a 959 Galaxy for 130 bucks and a RM Italy 203p on my vacation this weekend. I got the radio for 130 and the amp for 40. Both units are brand spanking new. The Galaxy still has the plastic on top. How do y'all think I did? Good deal or bad?

Haha.. It doesnt have the mic rigged up like that any more. He has a new d104 m6b. I'll have to ask about the power cord.

Update: The guy still has it for sale and the ad below is the exact radio he's selling. http://www.worldwidedx.com/cb-radio-gear-swapshop/143130-roger-bird-built-2510-a.html

Well when I first noticed this the other day I would turn the variable up and the power would go up along with the SWR. When I did this I was on AM. I will test your idea this evening and report back. Thanks!
