The Optima would be my choice by a long shot

Does anyone have a schmatic for this radio? I have one that some wonderful person removed 2 transistors, a diode and resistor in the audio circuit so on SSB it sounds like crap but AM screams. I'm an SSB guy never use AM so this radio is useless to me. I would love to get the part numbers to fix...

Got that right about Turner going out of business and selling their all their stuff to another company. The newer RK-56 really are junk

The later models of the E EE and EX had the AUX but if you put an 11 meter crystal in it it wouldn't Transmit. There is a section in the manual how to make it work. While I'm on here does anyone know how the 25hz and 100hz switch works or how to make them work? I thought it was to calibrate the...

First I bought a 30 amp one to replace my dead Pyramid 36, liked it so much I bought a 50 amp to run any amps I have and a Yaesu all with no issues. The fan always runs slow then when it see's a load the fan speeds up. Been using them both for about 6 months now no issues and love the small size

Decoder who in NJ checked them for you I live in NJ also but there are no radio guys close to me. Ask the guy if he would check mine for me I would not want to bother anybody but I was ready to throw the amp away until I read a thread about chink finals being hit and miss

Thanks Crusher for the info to Tba02 it does light up and keys the relay when I key up the radio just output is Zero and with the amp off the wattage from the radio does go through the amp so it's not like a SO 259 issue or something like that

I've got this 2 pill front says Galaxy amp with 1446 finals. It went from 150 watts to about 55. I opened it up found a burnt resistor next 2 one of the finals. I bought Chinese 1446's replaced the resistor and now have nothing. Could both the Chink finals be bad? I have a transistor tester and...

Yes there is a switch inside and it's set to 100. I was hoping to use it without an amp guess I'll just turn the power down to be easy on the radio and use an small amp.

I disagree Carl, I have had and used all the others and I kept the Stryker 955 just because it works so well. It's on frequency cold or hot, can do anything and with the VFO option it's so easy to change bands to go to the Freeband. The Stryker is as good as the older ass kicker radios like the...

No I haven't checked the menu settings but I have read the owners manual a few times and did set the ALC the way they said to

I use a Daiwa cross needle it has PEP and RMS

I just bought a FT-840 new in the box 2005 model. Anything I should know other than that hot resistor that I already replaced? I understand the radio does max 25Watts AM which I could care less about but on SSB most frequencies it will do 100 on a whistle but seems to only talk 50 to 60, any...

I've had a 955 for about 10 months and just love it from day 1

I have spoken to Eric in the past that is either his son or son in law so I am sure Magnum will still be in business

Heard Sam Lewis passed away a few weeks ago

Retro I was to understand it is the same chassis as a Cobra 146, so see if you can find some mods for that and that should give you freeband channels

Does anyone have an AM filter for sale. I found a board with the SSB Filter and AM filter but the guy wants crazy money for it. I like to listen to the truckers on the Turnpike by me that's the only reason I am looking for one, have no intention of talking on AM. Thanks in Advance

Does anybody have any Idea what goes wrong with the Cybernet Chassis that's a common thing? I have a Lafayette SSB-140, RCA 14T302 and a Midland 79-893 all having issues, they light up but do nothing no receive or transmit. I replaced Caps from a good working radio, changed the VFO from a...
