The "Screwdriver's guide" from Franklin has a whole section discussing this. In principle it's a myth, but there's some specific cases (IIRC when the coax is intended to be part of the antenna system) when it does matter.

I hear you. While I'm fairly OK with soldering, replacing a 28 pin SMD chip requires experience in SMD soldering. If you never did that before, then I recommend to not try that as your first SMD experiment. There's too many pitfalls. That's why I looked around for somebody experienced in the...

Yes, these radios are actually really nice. One more note. In my case I only had one of these chips replaced and not the modification done. If you do opt for the zener mod, then beware that this apparently will negatively influence receiver sensitivity on 70cm. Maybe I'll add the zener mod...

Yes, this is a known issue with the TYT TH9800. I bought one on the cheap with this issue. It worked well, except no audio output on the 2m/70cm. As I didn't have my license at the time, it wasn't a big issue. But.. things changed and I needed it to work. So I researched this. There's two audio...

Thank you, exactly what I was wondering when I read that. I don't think I"ve started 5 threads, but otherwise... "I understand the rules and wish to enter the contest." :)

It's not you. The image just doesn't show. When I try to open the image by itself I get a insufficient credentials error. " Oops! We ran into some problems. You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action. " The image has been limited in some way. -- Skyline

Just tell her you bought some books and you got the radios for free. At least that's what I would do.

I don't think the relevant part of that thread is that the guy's a kitchen tech (whatever that is), but the IC that he replaced to resolve his 25.5333 display issue. :LOL:

Hi, I thought I had seen this somewhere.. so did a quick search. https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/cobra-2000-gtl-counter-issue.254049/ -- Skyline

The AnyTone does not work with EU or RU settings. That's just not how this is done. You can change the channel spacing in the settings. You can also program the channels using a computer if you need the frequencies to be different for your channels. -- Skyline

I had been searching on "DPS-1400CB" :) My guess is that you'll be fine. With these prices it might be worthwhile to take a bit of a risk.

Put the model number in youtube and you should be able to find a few posts on how to modify it. If not, I can link it here. I had this model on my list of looking into it.

or just a route down. Seen it often enough in the past. -- Skyline

No worries, doesn't make you look bad. We're all humans, not machines, can happen to anyone. -- Skyline

Old school. For the CB band, I prefer to use the CB radio that my mom bought for me, a skyline SM 2010. With 22 Channels FM and 0.5 watt using a cybernet board (pbtm117aox). It was broken badly by some idiot teenager about 40 years ago. That idiot was me. About a year ago I repaired it, then...

Hi, The Sams pages for this radio was posted in this thread by Shummy via the following link: https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/sams-photofacts-collection.262787/page-65#post-854794 I don't know if it contains everything you need though. -- Skyline

Dan, Look at my reply to Bob, you already scanned it and provided it in this same thread.. There's so much in this thread already so it is easy to miss. Sorry, I'll try to be more explicit next time and not just post a link.

Hi Bob, Please see: https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/sams-photofacts-collection.262787/post-837312 and https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/sams-photofacts-collection.262787/post-837432 cheers, Skyline

Living in the Netherlands in a -for Dutch standards- mid-size city (250k), smack in the middle of it. Got a lot of neighbors closeby, but not as many as when I lived in SE Asia. There's loads of man made noise around. On the 11m my s-meter goes rarely below s7 to s9. Had located one source of...

Figured to ask my elmer what he replaced it with as he's pretty happy with the new one. This is what he's using now: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805425325164.html
