Yes it's the nut with ( 4 ) notches in it. I tried need nose plier but the are to thick to fit in the notches. I will grind down an old socket like you mentioned, good idea. Thanks.

Hey: guys. I'm trying to get to the on/off switch in my Uniden PC122xl to clean it with contact cleaner but can't get to it. I have to remove the mic jack nut in order to separate the pc board from the front of the radio. There are screws on the board too but that's not a problem. Anyone ever...

Hi: Chris. I know this is an old post but did you ever find a manufacturer of long whips ? The only thing I can think of is a company like " Metal Supermarkets " here in Canada who sells raw metal of all types & lengths. Hope this helps. Bruce. Toronto. Canada.

I want to thank all you guys for your help. I've been super busy at work & just had time to work on the TRC-465 last night. I replaced all the caps in the " IF " & " RF " sections & all is good now. Thanks again. Bruce. Toronto. Canada.

Thanks again guys for the input, I will doing tests on my next off days & see what the cause is. I really appreciate all the info. Bruce. Toronto. Canada

Does anyone own a Colt Black Shadow SSB, base cb, also know as a Colt 1000 ? I bought one used & someone did a PLL mod for extra channels. I restored the pll traces to normal and the radio is fine except the cb/pa switch was taken out & replaced with a 3 way switch for the extra...

re: new Uniden cb's Just a quick note. I hope these AM & the 980 SSB model are modifiable. There is no point spending $150 - $200.00 on a cb that can't be modded for export use. Hopefully someone posts a mod on these new units. Bruce.

re: New Uniden cb models. I wrote Uniden several letters & emails with regards to new am/ssb cb radios. I said that with the advent of surface mount circuits as seen in many new 10 meter & other amateur rigs, there in no reason Uniden could not produce a compact am/ssb cb with lots of features...
