    FT-891...anyone try this mod?

    I did that because it sure is a pain to switch to lsb on the upper bands. Otherwise a decent rig. I have really used it on 11m except to listen so far. but like all my radios to be able to. I have however used my 7300 on there and its

    FT-891...anyone try this mod?

    Mine was already done but didnt resemble the online pics. I had to extensively repair mine. The ipo and attenuator didnt work. Blown surface mount resistor. Also burnt up trace on amp keying circuit. Guy hooked a sb200 to it directly. No soft key.

    Uniden pc68xl /cobra 25ltd DIRECT AUDIO INJECTION POINT?

    The cobra 25ltd im unable to get to work without a squeel on rx. And i cant go directly. I fed it how you said. Replaced r53 with 2 47k resistors. Tx audio sounds very nice but that squeel. The pc68xl im feeding directly at pin 4 no issues but the rx is Intermittent on that radio. You know the...

    Uniden pc68xl /cobra 25ltd DIRECT AUDIO INJECTION POINT?

    I hear ya. I had a big mixer i found at goodwill but gave it away. But somewhere i have behringer its like a odd ball 4 input stereo and 4 mono inputs but no decent mics to use. I have a crap load of ham gear but im just burned out on that. I miss the days of CB when i was a kid back in the...

    Uniden pc68xl /cobra 25ltd DIRECT AUDIO INJECTION POINT?

    Im just sending the mic audio into that pin and using turner plus 3 . It doesn’t sound impressive. I havent tried to do anything with the pc yet. I tried to go to pin 5 the output but I guess the tuner doesnt have enough drive? I would like to de couple the stuff before the amp. No feedback on...

    Uniden pc68xl /cobra 25ltd DIRECT AUDIO INJECTION POINT?

    I dont plan to use the radios rx. I will use a sdr reciever. I want to bypass the radios mic pre amp i believe. I guess it has to go in directly before the audio amplifier? Or can you go in after it?

    Uniden pc68xl /cobra 25ltd DIRECT AUDIO INJECTION POINT?

    I I am trying to set up audio direct injection on both of these radios and all I'm finding on the Internet is information on the cobra 29 The 29 board and these boards look similar but I don't understand the process enough to understand to figure out where to inject on either one of these...

    Yaesu M-1 microphone

    Well he has a ftdx101 but he likes to over do everything like its ch6. the real deal is you cant fit a camel through the eye of a needle. The radios audio chain will decide what you can do more than the mic no matter how much money you throw at it. Radio sounded the same without the m1 . I...

    No new HF mobiles. Same old same old

    Nice. I dont like how hot the g90 gets. But this is the 3rd 891 i have had. This one a guy blew up the keying circuit and the ipo attenuator. I fixed it. Traded a original plain 706 for it. I've gotten used to it. The first 2 i sold

    No new HF mobiles. Same old same old

    I use a ft891 for portable or what not. Its ok if you have everything setup already. Not like the easy to use 857d or ic706 series. I set it up in the bedroom sometimes otherwise i operate big radios In the shack. Its good for ft8 or whatever. I also own a xiegu G90 20w sdr radio with built...

    icom ic-718

    Probably one of saddest icoms ive owned. And certainly not ok for am. Harsh noisy rx. 706mk2g, ts440, ts450, just say no to the 718.

    ts830s 11 meter mod

    I suppose some people will do it to any radio just for the challenge my radio is a good example of how it didn't turn out right and it is quite labor intense from seeing what's been done to mine and then for some reason it still doesn't work but I would never use a radio that doesn't already...

    ts830s 11 meter mod

    I bought a ts830s with a very elaborate 11m conversion. I only use it on 40 and 80 meters. But I tried it on 10 and 11 one day. It didn't really work. Not much power out and no rx really. 10m isn't much better. I get the feeling this mod never worked well. Probably had to pick one of the other...
