Kens Electronics technical books Revisiting and old post here. Was looking at the Kens Electronics website for some spare parts I need. Have discovered they publish a number of technical books ie: CB repair, scanner repair, linear repair etc etc. Anyone know of these, what they are...

399 is South America on 38LSB or elsewhere on the 40 channel block, or do you mainly use the naughty forty?? Have you been picking up Australia or New Zealand lately?? 73's

MFJ-299 - RCI 29XX Please post about this mic when you have it wired up to to your 2950. It should be easy enough wiring a 6 pin plug to it. You should still have your channel up/down ability with this mic also. Ahanway I'm interested in the specific combination of the 2970N2 radio with...

Agreed with DXMan, we do use channel 35 LSB as a regular call channel, so give us a call there. We often get domestic skip in at the same time as north pacific skip, although it seems to shift between the two, so there is usually someone on 35. We often go to 38 LSB to call you guys, but...

CBC International OK, will do. Thanks for that.

CBC International CBC International have a new edition of 'Understanding & repairing CB radios' coming this year. I'm waiting for the new edition to become available. Lou Franklin was selling his CB books combined, and at a good price, through Ebay, but can't find any listings, or links to...

Swing them beams! We have been recieving the North American continent on DX pretty much daily, amongst varying amounts of noise, for some time now. We usually use 35 LSB for a calling frequency, but often go up to 38 LSB to put out calls for you. Trouble is, there is probably so much...

Desk mike combo How about the MFJ-299 compression desk mike, in it's various guises, with the 2970 series radios, when used as a base station? You have your up/down scanning functions with this mike also. Interested in opinions on this combination. :)

Preacher power! Can't remember where now, but came across www.powerbypreacher.com, with encouraging feedback. Anyone had dealings with him? Or his amps? Maybe he's worth adding to 9C1Drivers list. Have bought from DTB Radio before and very happy with his work. My next rig will be a RCI...

World Wide Radio Club Thank you. 73's

World Radio Club I would like to join this club also. Is membership that easy? I don't have the huge number of confirmed QSL's usually required for clubs like AT. If anyone can give me contact details for an administator in 43 division, or who-ever else I should contact, I would be grateful.

IC-718 Thanks n0zna & RatsoW8. Yes the FT-450 was my 2nd choice, and I admit I would prefer something all-mode, although I mainly use SSB. The FT-450 is pricier too. The IC-718 good or bad seems to polarize a lot of people. But getting back to my original post, I went back and looked...

Hi Folks, A new IC-718 is on my shopping list. The radio will for now be used entirely for stationary mobile hilltop DXing from my car, until I move to my next QTH and can set up a base station. I have read some reviews (on Eham.net I think) for this radio and most of them are very...

I have the power/echo/roger beep version of the Syncron mic. I'm using it with a Galaxy DX 2547. All signal and audio reports have been encouraging, one report even saying audio was better than the Galaxy power/echo desk mic, which I used as a comparison. They are copies of the Italian made...

Thanks WR0220, Haven't got around to wiring the mic yet, but the link should be all I need, thanks. Am thinking of buying one or two of the CBC publications.

I have a Mura PRX-300 desk mic that I want to wire to a Galaxy DX-2547. It has a 4 pin plug with an unknown wiring configuration. The 5 core coiled lead appears original, and I want to identify the functions of the cores, ie TX, RX, Audio, Shield. The cores and existing connections are...

Thanks Jazzsinger, I'm still undecided about the power supply. The Dirland has the transformer and is pretty heavy. The Manson, and its derivatives are switchmode, and much lighter. But I've read that switchmodes can be electrically noisy. It's to power a barefoot HF rig (for now)...

Can anyone tell me the origin of Dirland CB radio products? I'm sure it's a European company, but where is the gear manufactured? I'm in the market for a new 20A+ power supply. The other choice is a Manson: Manson Engineering Industrial Ltd. which could be badged differently elsewhere. The...

Thanks Sonwatcher, The diagrams are a great help. I definitely don't have the switch, but the resistor in its place. It was much deeper down than I thought. I have clipped the resistor, got a radio check and alls fine. Thanks. 43 Echo 695 :thumbup:

Hello Sonwatcher, I saw that diagram you attached on the KB2LJJ website. I opened the case as described, and looked on the main board that is exposed from under the metal mesh, and also the PCB behind the front panel, under the wires, in good lighting conditions, but no black slide switch...
