What Bob said. :) Rich

FRS requires no license. Some of the models are including GMRS channels and higher power. GMRS requires a license. If the radio is only 14 channels, then it is an FRS. Rich

Ah Grasshopper, you have discovered one of the great mysteries and your BS filter is working well. These people that tell you to use a specific length of coax, don't have a clue. I was reading the back of a packaged Francis 5.5 Hotrod antenna, the other day. It was saying to use different...

I'll second that. The blue color absolutely destroys your night vision. It may not matter to those that stay in the cities, but to those of us that drive nights in the rural areas, night vision is vital. Rich

If changing the length of your coax is changing your SWR, then your antenna is not presenting a 50 ohm load. I am not saying that using coax length to tune the system is bad, but it does limit your frequency range, Use a good tuner instead. Rich

I have run the run the ICOM 706MKIIg for several years. The things that I like the most about it are, the unsolicited reports of: "Great sounding mobile." This is with the stock mic in a diesel big rig. Mic gain is set on 3, Comp is on, but set a the minimum compression level. I close talk the...

Sorry, I was having a bad day. The protection diode is fine, because the radio lights up. There is internally generated audio noise, but not receive, or transmit of RF. I suspect a problem in the LP filter section, but cannot see any cold solder joints, or other visible problems. I really...

SK, you obviously are not reading my posts correctly. I really would like to know if I can use the schematic and block diagram for a 29LTD to trouble shoot a PC78ltw. Or, can someone steer me to a place to purchase the service manual for the 78? Rich

Lights up. No transmit, or receive. Have tried mic on another uniden 4 pin and it works fine. Rich

A bargain at half the price, since you can download the "owners" manual for free. I need the "service" manual. Thanks anyway. Rich

Anyone? It looks like the schematic for the 29 LTD matches up with what I see on the 78's board. Any major differences? Rich

The forum automatically strips out more than one space, so your pyramid won't work unless you use some other filler. I have seen this method used and the only way that it will work, is to run the chart with one hand and write with the other. That being said, it does nothing for: Numbers...

I have acquired a Non-working Uniden PC78ltw. Anyone know where I can get the service manual? From searching, I would say that this is similar to one of the Cobra 29 models. Anyone know which one? Thanks for any info. Rich

Posting And You Rich

I have been running HF mobile for over 30 years and have not found that a separate ground was necessary. The most important ground is at the antenna, especially on 40 meters and below. Here it is important to have a low inductance ground, that means as short and wide as you can make it. My...
