    Omega Force S 45 HP problem

    I've got to say, I have a Cobra 29 with an RFX on it, and after some moderate/long qso's that thing has reached well over 170 degrees! This Magnum RFX has barely gotten even warm after/about the same amount of time. I ended up adding a fan to the 29, but after many checks on the Magnum, I...

    Omega Force S 45 HP problem

    My S-45HP is dickered :cursing: Ordered mine from Sparky's about a month ago. Worked well far as I know the first couple of days. Installed it in my mobile, and when transmitting on LSB after unkeying it would stay stuck in transmit with a 1-2 watt carrier. I tried grounding the radio...

    The mic is actually pretty nice. The effects on it are great, and the tone that the mic gives even without using effects is great aswell. Often times my buddies and I have tried different mics, only to come back to the 2018 just for it's clear clean audio. So far the S-400 power supply is...

    NEED HELP w/ Emperor

    :w00t::thumbup::thumbup1::thumbup::w00t: With much happiness I am able to say that the Emperor is able to live another day. Got to my buddies house this evening and had a look at it. Found the diode (D173), went to Radio Crap, replaced it, and she's back up and running just as before! My...

    NEED HELP w/ Emperor

    I hear ya Jon. That radio deffinately only needs a 10A max fuse. Live and learn I guess. He's had that radio for almost 20 years now, and was his sole radio up until recently. Finally broke down and got a new one. Ah well, I wasnt' able to get over there and check it out myself tonight.

    NEED HELP w/ Emperor

    It's good to know that there should be a protection diode in there. I wasn't sure if all radios come with them or not. I did all kinds of searches on the web for reverse polarity, TS5010 protection diode, etc, etc... came up with nothing. Looked on CBTricks, and I couldn't make...

    NEED HELP w/ Emperor

    Hello All! My friend has an Emperor TS5010 that he accidently hooked up backwards to his home power supply. :cursing: He says that when he trys to plug it in now it shuts down his power supply. I've been doing some looking around but not coming up with much. :headbang Needing to know if...

    It's a Sony speaker from a home theater system that adds all the sound clarity you could ever ask for from a cb. You haven't heard cb till you've tried a really nice external speaker system. I use a computer speaker setup in the house with a subwoofer to obtain the lows. Works quite well.

    emperor ts-5010

    IMO A friend of mine runs a 5010 as his main rig. Bought it about 20yrs ago, stored for about 15yrs, and within the last year has pulled it back out, only to have it work as good as it did new. I think the radio performs flawlessly. It's a single final radio, but all the better...

    No Transmit/Recieve

    It's deffinately not in PA mode, I personally checked all the switches myself. Had a cousin that borrowed a radio of mine, come home one day and he tells me that my radio quit working...:cursing: went out to his truck and the first thing I checked was the PA which was engaged.:thumbup: My...

    No Transmit/Recieve

    Buddy of mine just picked up a Uniden PC 122XL. Plugs it in, has power, shows channel indicator, typical 11 mtr static, but does not transmit or recieve with a new Galaxy mic plugged in. Been looking online, searched through this website, so now I'm asking anyone out there if they'd know...

    DX88HL SSB issues

    LC, I think you're on to something about the "TECH" being a solder jockey!:lol: That is one thing he would do everytime I went down... Self Glorification! It's a live and learn situation and to that I tip my hat. If I'm going to get involved in a hobby, I might aswell know the ins & outs...

    DX88HL SSB issues

    Think I found it.....! After many hours of searching, looking & reading, I do believe I may have found the problem.:w00t: After not being happy with the end result coming back from the "TECH" I opened the radio and started looking around for myself. Seems to be that TR53 is the Audio...

    DX88HL SSB issues

    As it would be, LSB is still not right. From what I understand at this point, USB is far better than LSB. Heard it in the shop, and it sounded right, get it home, talk with my buddy and he claims it's a little better but still about the same:confused1: Recieve is good, AM,FM & USB are good...

    DX88HL SSB issues

    Well, after talking with my "tech", he said that someone had been in the radio and had done some "shotty" work, including an NPC mod. :blink: Replaced a few of these and those, retuned, aligned, and said it seems good as new:thumbup1: I'll be picking it up on Tuesday, and can't wait to get it...

    Yeah when I turn "off" the subs it immediately goes away. Never noticed it before because I wouldn't turn on the stereo. I can't say for sure, but the alternator in my rig could be original, though I don't know, but a 17 yr old vehicle with a stock alt? Oh well, something to look into. Also...

    I've got a new Galaxy 929, with a new Wilson 1000 mag. mounted up in my Grand Cherokee. Been noticing on and off that when I'm listening to my stereo sometimes I get a warbled beat from my 929 swinging to the tune on my stereo. Now, I've also got a pair of 12" subs in the cargo area with an...
