    OVER 130% MODULATION!!!

    Guys, how do I do this to my 142GTL? I need cap-size, diode numbers and any transisters. Somebody already clipped the AM limiter out so I have to replace it first.

    Turner + 2 mic wiring

    Turner +2 is rely-switching from the factory, the 140 is, I believe , electronic-switching. You need to reverse the red and black ground wire to show the three tabs ,left to right 1-black ground, 2 or middle tab-red, right tab black, shield to mount, White to upper left switch connection. These...

    Whats so great about this base?

    The main problem people have with Console Vs(I had two of these marvelous Radios) is cold-solder joints. Once you get that taken care of(Takes about five hours to do), you have a radio that'll crush the likes of a Cobra 2000GTL. I always ran a D104 UG-8 Non-amplified mic on mine. They're a good...

    Turner plus 3 mic problem

    Don't know if this is corrected or not so, All turner +3 hand mics are wired relay-switching from the Factory, first thing you have to do is go inside and reverse the wires on [positions 3+4(reading left to right)These are the shield and the black. The pins should then read; 1.) White, 2.)Red...

    Power mic on SSB?

    I love the Turner +3 for sideband but, my very favorite is the D104 UG-8 stand, a non-amplified crystal head mic. it's perfectly clear, not tinny and it doesn't overdrive the ALC.

    difference between a NPC mod and the TOP GUN MODULATOR ???

    Okay, I see. with a compression-Amp mic it's all done before it even enters the radio. Does the positive peak still go above the 100% modulation line with this mod?

    So Bob, do you think the same formula will work with my RG8/U?

    RF choke with coax

    I have RG8/U coax on my A-99, how many coils and what diameter(Inside or outside) do I make for an RF choke. Coax has a 85% braid on top of foil, a 9.5 gauge stranded center conductor and a velocity factor of 85%?

    Galaxy FC347 Blue Frequecy Counter

    Would you be interested in swapping it for a Dosy bench counter that reads SSB?

    The Tram 3500 Magnet mount

    I bought one of these to run on my Grand Cherokee with a 148GTL. A little info here, height is about the same as a Wilson 5000, magnet is pretty much as strong. Merely jamming the whip all the way into the mount and tightening the set screws gave me a 1.1:1 match on 27.205. The the upper-end I...

    what is your vswr at the antenna?

    The first meter will add to the reading of the second meter. Every connection you make creates loss. How much depends on the meter movement and internals. You read at one end or the other.

    142GTL Final

    First of all, remove that 1969 and put a driver in there. you can't get enough bias voltage to make a 1969 work as a driver for another. Like Mark said, you need a 2SC2166, they're about four dollars at RFparts.

    Racapping an Event

    Well, went to Rat shack today to get the 32 caps I needed for the 142. Most of the multiple numbered caps, like 47uf they didn't have near enough of and the big Power supply cap was the wrong configuration, wire out each end. Anybody want to sell me a kit?

    difference between a NPC mod and the TOP GUN MODULATOR ???

    So, if I'm reading this right, if you want the NPC mod. you'd be just as well off using a good compression-amp mic like a turner +3. As that mic takes a lot of speech and compresses it into a 100% modulation waveform.
