    Wanted

    yeah I was just hoping that someone had a parts radio laying around with them in it, trying to keep from paying for new parts when it's really just an experiment.

    I've got a project in mind, therefore I'm looking for the Top Gun modules MD-1 and CP-1

    inexpensive/cheap cb amps . palomar/cobra vs. rm/kl

    The RM3 transistors are not IRF520s relabeled, that much I know. I've got a KL60 here that blew the transistor, I had extra IRF520s so I slapped one in, I only saw half the wattage out of the amp after the swap. I don't mind the RM Italy amps, good cheap power, but if I had my choice, I'd go...

    Roadpro Titan II convert to MOSFET?

    Thanks again guys, the power output has fallen off on this rig from when I first got it running again, not to mention I never saw more than 17 watts PEP out of it. While I know it's not a powerhouse of a radio, it is a nice "clone" and does have some sentimental value to me. I especially enjoy...

    5 tone roger beep

    I've read a couple of articles on the 5 tone roger beeps being used as a keyup. Anyone know anything on this? I've got a spare 5 tone board and wouldn't mind having it as a keyup myself

    Roadpro Titan II convert to MOSFET?

    Thanks Robb, yeah I'm more of a do it myself kind of guy, I've got a few IRF520s here that I'm not doing anything with. I guess it's on the the schematics.

    What if?

    I forget exactly where I saw it, but someone on a forum had made a Magnum S9 into a base rig with a beautiful face. I've seen some articles on here about people wanting to build their own radios, well I've got a few scrap boards and one empty base case. I may end up rebuilding and making it the...

    Roadpro Titan II convert to MOSFET?

    Does anyone have any info on converting a Titan II to IRF520? Being a single final radio, it can't be but so difficult, although being a SMT board, it should be fun.

    and the fun begins

    So far with the antenna installed, we're looking at a definite winner here. Everything looks great on this, and receive is just awesome. I'm working my Roadpro Titan II into a small 2x1446 box, all Belden mini 8 coax and the antenna mounted in the center of a tool box in the bed of a Ram that's...

    What if?

    If you could see one radio come back from the past, updated and redesigned, what would it be? My vote would be for a new Uniden Grant, or even a little competition for the Galaxy DX979, the Uniden PC122. We're in dire need of a new SSB rig, these exports taking over is fine, but I wanna see...

    A few pics from my crappy cell phone... This is the 22" bottom shaft, all 1/2 tubing. Brass lug on the bottom for the stainless 3/8x24 stud, stainless head with stainless stinger. I put a temporary coil on it for the time being, but may end up painting everything anyway. I'll post up my test...

    and the fun begins

    Had to show him who's the boss :lol: On a side note, one antenna is finished and being tested right now, as soon as I get my camera back from the wife I'll post pics of the entire process. I gotta say, it's been fun building the antennas, and they don't look bad if I say so myself, hell, they...

    Magnum 257hp Garbage

    My thinking, though a great concept, is too much heat in too small of a radio. It's similar to tossing a RFX75 on a Cobra 19 from wallyworld....something is bound to give and to think, I wanted to put one on my Titan II

    and the fun begins

    I had time alright, spent a lot of it trying to figure out what the hell happened to get me in there to begin with. Then trying to figure out how to get back home to the wife and kids before Christmas. All I have left to do is solder the cap on and install the stinger. I've seriously got to get...
