Those echo mics feel very cheap in your hand, square, boxy and ugly. Put the Turbo-2 in it, then use a D104. I hear those Xtreme 2018's everyday, not bad sounding, they do repeat forever but thats annoying. A M6B will beat a Road Devil anyday, plus you dont have to eat it and your locals wont...

I have to smack my Road devil a couple times too, lol. Maybe i should put this element in that, its only been acting up for 15 yrs or so, lol.

Galaxys get a bad reputation from ppl that dont get their radios tuned, or learn how to themselfs. Ppl get brainwashed from others that say it over and over. Next time just get the 959, FC comes free, lol. I like a little echo myself, i install one in my radios that dont come stock.

CB/PA is easy, just get it to work on CB by soldering the PA wires together, dont forget heat shrink, not black tape. Ch 9 mod, i think is clipping "Q" something, just try the PA switch, dont forget a 100ohm res.

I wanted to put the stock one back in before testing it. Since i fixed the short, im done and extremely happy keeping it this way for now. I might try it someday when im done fixing radio stuff, lol. But if its any gauge at all, when it was shorting out with the Radioshacker, it was less audio...

For the CH 9 switch, if you do it wrong you lose everything. I dont have that CH 9 mod in front of me, i would have to look thru my notes, i think its in or on the web already. Why not just buy a mini toggle or sub-mini toggle from Ratshack and mount it on the side, rear or bottom lid?

FIXED!!!!!!! Unsoldering the wires on the contacts.......the yellow wire was not only just soldered to the tab, it was sticking in the contacts about a 1/4 inch, almost 1/2 an inch......WHY? We all know the yellow is not used in most (or all) CB's, why did someone have it stuck in the contacts...

Okay, i checked out Bulldog's photo's on Facebook of the mic cord wiring to the contact arm's and mine is correct but very schotty soldering. Next is re-doing it my way, then put stock element MC-320 back in. I will then clean the contacts, post back later with my results. I also seen a tip to...

Keep the res. at one of the solder points at the rear of the radio with heat-shrink. You could wire the 2 wires to a 1K pot and have a variable talkback. Get a pot that clicks to turn off, then its off. Do you know how to disable the PA function when taking the wires of the CB/PA switch? Play...

Okay, i didnt notice this before, overlooked maybe, lol. The mic cord is pancaked, i mean squished pretty flatish where it goes under the boards screws, im not sure yet if this is the coulprit but sure doesnt look good flat. Im guessing its missing some washers so the cord stays kinda round...

Camaro, you may be on to something with the cord....for an old Tup-9, its been refurbished by the looks of it. Black base looks brand new, cord feels and looks newish. It works but very low modulation unless i talk directly into it, but even that doesnt help much. Obviously the board is working...

I just installed this element & res. Audio is weaker than with the stock element, smoke & mirror mod if you ask me. I guess it sounded too good to be true for under $5. Either im just gonna buy a used head off Fleabay or buy the mod from RB Micro. I kinda knew it, lol.

Not just a plug & play (solder, heat shrink)? Gotta use a 1K resistor? Only on the board like the pic shows?

If Tim is a hack, why is he cleaning up other ppl's rats nest. Sure he is cocky & arrogant but i give him credit for video taping his work, alot dont. Bells wont show their work, just meter readings, interesting to watch on your down time but gets old real fast. Tim talks alot and watching his...

Thanx, Loosecannon. I didnt even know their name, lol. I just looked on fleabay, no duel changing colors like we would want. Im guessing the trick is clipping the piss-yellow lead, leave the red TX, the brightness from the blue ch display shines thru the lens? I wont name the 2 techs, but they...

I know how to do the swap but those tips will help others, i was wondering how you did the rx/tx and rb swap? Those are a different led not a bulb 3mm type. Do you cut the rx/tx out, off the board, then hot glue a blue/red rx/tx 3mm in? When switching any radio's colors, some dont do the rx/tx...

Basstracker, I know this thread is an older one but how did your FC & ch display swap to blue work out? Did you do the rx/tx, RB & s-meter too? Im just curious if it was a success.

959's get a bad rep, cause most ppl dont know how to work on a radio, or their "so called" tech clips and peaks it in 2 min's and sends them home. There's a few things you can do to the 959's to make em very stable. Dont get me wrong, they are not a 2950 10 meter, but for a "CB" you get all the...

Your friend could of saved some money by un-hooking his coax when a storm comes or put an antenna switch with multiple gates and just hit the switch? I agree on the gate voltage, Cobra 200's had a similiar issue too.
