Yup, they all have the same board. As do alot of other exports. Probably some slight variances in circuitry, component values etc.. but basically the same radios on the inside.

Sounds like electrical noise. Any power lines around?

My dad worked in the water and wastewater industry for 35+ yrs. He always said there was good money in it.

So this board will convert an electronic switching radio, to relay switching?

Not that I am aware of eastside. I could be wrong, but i would think it would require quite a bit of circuit surgery to keep the radio from squealing while it was switching from rx to tx. I don't know much about rack gear. Do you know for sure it it wired for cobra 4-pin? Possibly could be...

Its because of the type of tx/rx switching inside the radio. Most cb radios like your 148, use electronic/diode switching while going from tx-rx, the cicuit is broke when you unplug the mic.. Some radios like exports, use relay switching, and leves the circuit energized, even though the mic is...

Welcome to the forum:)

If you crank that vr up, It will just bring more noise into your radio. You then will have to turn the rf gain on the front, back, or crank the squelch up and achieve nothing. Just leave it at factory setting.

For the 8719 washington, vr6 is a.m power, vr7 is ssb power

Maybe it isn't a hands free mic you need, how about a hands free car:D http://www.businessinsider.com/a-driverless-car-is-about-to-go-on-a-3500-mile-road-trip-across-the-us-2015-3 All this talk about old foot switches and such, makes me think in 20-30 yrs people will be saying "I remember when...

A lot of truckers are just as bad. They only need to know the basics to get a class a cdl as well. Attend a truck driving school, learn how to pass the test, and your rolling 80000#, or highly flamable liquid down the interstate in a week. Not saying that was the case here. Hope everyone made...

It shouldn't hurt anything. Sounds like it has been "peaked". L10 L9 L8 are tuned for max pep. Some just tune L10. Of course you know vr5 is modulation. Jmo, I'd turn vr5 to about 3/4. IIRC L20 is the tvi trap on the cobra 25. That is the one coil that should not be turned. Others should not be...

If you're not already, use an external swr meter. Built in meters are, for the most part, not accurate. Record your swr measurements on channels 1-20-40. If swr is higher on 1, antenna is too short. If swr is higher on 40, antenna is too long. Swr of 2.5 will pop that fet if the mic is keyed for...

It has been my experience, trying to find service manuals for about any uniden radio is tough. I've also looked for a manual for my washington, and my grant xl, also a couple others with no luck. I can usually find the info I need searching the net, but no actual sevice manual. Makes ya wonder...

My 98 chev. k2500 reg.cab...bed-cab-hood/fenders-radiator support-frame and front bumper. 4 corners of the cab to frame. 4 corners of the bed to frame and rear bumper. I haven't yet, but plan to ground the rear axle, exhaust and engine to the frame. I used 3/4" wide copper braid. Made my own...

Sounds like you're on your way to a nice setup(y) Bonding/grounding your vehicle is well worth the effort. It sure made a difference on my pickup, cleared up a lot of static on my recieve. Locals say my transmit seems stronger as well. Next step is to ditch my mag, and hard mount the antenna to...

Congrats tba (y)

Its not PDF, but here's the alignment procedure... http://www.radiomods.co.nz/pc385align.html CB Tricks has the schematic and block diagram if needed. Hope this helps

If I were going to run into a truck stop, and grab a straight 40 channel radio off the shelf, it would be a cobra 25 or 29 ltd classic... I prefer the 25
