Hey I just found this on Ebay: SLIDER DIODES - Pkg of 5 For CB/10 Meter Radios QRP PLL Tuning VARACAP Clarifier claims: The Range Is 4.2pf to 60pf With Variable Voltage Applied Can Be Used To Expand PLL Circuits Far Beyond Their Frequency Cutoff Better Than Original "Super Slider"Diodes...

The 2 guys I saw measure the wattage on those, they didn't go anywhere near 10 watts. par for the course with Chinese radios. If it has a better front-end, that alone is definitely worth it. I like UV5R "chassis" radios because there are so many battery, & accessory options out there for them...

I really like them. They have a great deal on UV5R clones.

Here is the frequency charts and documentation on my channel expansion mod if anyone is interested. Click Here for the PDF Version

Here's my Roadtalker 40 SSB (same radio with different faceplate & switches). The knob next to the freq counter is a 16 position 4-bit binary encoding rotary switch hooked to pins 8-11 of the SM5104.. It also has a 10khz slider mod on the clarifier.. The range of the VCO in this radio seems...

Yep.. Those 10 turn pots are great if you're doing say 12Khz or more each way, which as you pointed out is easily the case with some of the clarifier mods out there.. Personally, If i'm just sliding 5khz each way, I like a good high precision single turn pot.. That's just me.. I don't have a...

Well, I just replaced the stock varactors in my '78 Sears Roadtalker SSB with Motorola MV1404 Hyper-Abrupt Varactor Tuning Diodes (96 - 144 pF) and it gave me about 6.5khz up and 5.5khz down worth of "slide". Before, it had like 1.5khz each way. These suckers are highway-robbery but here's the...

LOL.. Well, you figure 144amps per alternator x 6 @13.8v.. Thats still only about 16HP in terms of watts. (minus frictional & efficiency losses). You could drive alot more with that Chevy Small Block V8... Throw another belt/pulley system on the front of the engine with 6 more! hahah..

Some dude on Ebay has some DKV6510 but he's overseas and wants a fortune for them. How about the siemens BB112? There's alot of them available cheap in China.
