Can someone confirm mic wiring for an SBE Console 6? I have found limited information online, but Bells CB tech library says: Pin 1 Ground Pin 2 Audio Pin 3 Common Pin 4 TX Am keen to replace the radios 3 meters, are they the same/similar to any other radios of the era? Joes Old Audio (on...

OK Limeybastard, I thought you may have bought the radio directly from them. What was the issue with the Amazon sourced radio? 73's

Limeybastard what was the repair issue with your 2970N4? Hopefully it's sorted for you quickly. Aside from that, what are their tunes like for these types of radios? I'm thinking of getting one, and am considering a Lescomms tuned, but the freight from California would be cheaprer and quicker...

Was thinking of using Lescomm for a multi-radio upgrade of the shack, including a RCI-29xx series rig and maybe a DX-2547, so has been interesting reading these posts. Which state is he in? Can't see it on the website. And what's his turnaround like on a new radio with tune/mods? 73's

For the FCC forty, Galaxy are still manufacturing the DX2547 aren't they? 73's

..Thanks Mudduckmobile. So with the amp switched off, is it just like a 2950DX? Also, how hot does it get when working at high PEP? With the amp switched on, of course : ) 73's

There are lots of these radios out there, any actual owners/users of the N4 like to comment? 73's

Loosecannon great avatar.. Here is a scan of the original magazine cover. She (Ann Cameron) was always my favourite cover girl, and featured on several CB Action covers. She would be well into her 50's by now !! 73's

..Yeticom also sell the Grant II, the UK suppliers may not offer it in export configuration.

The original owner paid $439.95 for mine - the Radio Shack price tag is still on the box. The TRC-459 to my knowledge was never sold by Tandy here in Australia, so it is a rare one here, which adds to its appeal to me. The earlier Navahos were sold here, of which I have a TRC-490, and they...

I'm giving the TRC-459 a thumbs up. It may not be a performance or audio monster, but mine was intended for local QSO's on the FCC forty, and for this purpose, it's fine. Agreed on the LED metering. Other than that, I like the unique features and look, and it wasn't expensive. Add a Realistic...

I have previously used DTB, and would again, but have been looking for a good place on the west coast of the USA that would do a good tune (+align/expand) on RCI 29xx series radios. Would you recommend them for this? Do they have a walk-in shop, or online only? Do they service vintage...

Is Galaxy quality control aware of all the talk about their SSB drift? They might sell more SSB radios if they did something about it. I'm starting to think that SSB is a gimmick on Galaxy radios, instead Galaxy is really aimed at the AM crowd. In the meantime, for SSB stability I'll...

Any forum members had complications with home insurance companies after damage caused by lightning strikes to antennas? Should one disclose they have a potential lightning rod above their QTH? 73's :unsure:

I picked up a TRC-459 recently also, it's just come back from the tech after a tune up. I always liked the Navahos, but the TRC-459 has that uniqueness about it, being the last incarnation. I know they aren't high performers, but it's not intended for contesting or anything like that...

OK, thanks, keep the ideas coming. Have found a couple of local powder coaters, so will see what they say, and if they can do small jobs. 73's

The Realistic TRC-490 I have has a scuffed and lightly scratched casing. To re-finish this surface would make the radio look like new again. Anyone have experience of this? I want to keep the same or similar finish. Were these casings originally painted, or powder coated? Should I sand...

What year.. Cobra themselves couldn't tell me the year my 2000 was built. See my post from a while back 'Cobra 2000 carbon dating' or something like that. 73's

Repair parts CB schematics & tuneup manuals from Ken's Electronics, (Wholesale & Retail Electronic Parts) Kalamazoo, Michigan in Kalamazoo Michigan advertise a number of CB related tune up/repair/mods manuals. They are called the green, orange, red, yellow books etc. etc. Anyone on the...

Listen/call for Oz and New Zealand on CH 35 LSB if you want to get away from the noise on 38 LSB. 73's
