    Tram 201a channel selector problem

    Thank you nomadradio I did get on utube and see the selector apart. On my 201a the channels 31-35 were the ones I would have to tap selector for them to work. It may not have been a good idea but I took off selector back and sprayed some WD40 in there to help clean and lube inside. Now it is...

    Palomar 350Z

    I do not believe for a minute it will blow up I have about 20 old tube amplifiers and almost all have sweep tubes in them. This 350z will work just fine like all the rest do with a little drive put to it and tuned properly. They do not make the sweep tubes anymore but with a good set in a amp...

    Palomar 350Z

    I picked a 350z up this summer mine does 300 pep on low and 500 pep on high with a 2-12 pep radio. I did not remember what dead key of amp was. I am going to dig it back out and drive it with a JB150 and see what it will do.

    4-400b tube in SB220

    I was told today at a hamfest that you can replace 3-500z tubes with 4-400b tubes and it is plug and play in other words I do not have to do anything to the SB220 is this true??? I know the 4-400b tubes around here are easier to find used. Thanks Jimbo

    Single 8417, "unknown linear".

    Black Cat--Seeker or Wawasee all same amps basically. I have about 5 or 6 of these. They will increase modulation so do not use them with a power mike or mic gain turned up too much because it will cause a squeal, fuzziness or over modulation they increase modulation themselves. Also do not use...

    Galaxy 22b base stuck on one channel.

    Sonoma I have some basic electrical knowledge but not sure enough to repair radio without knowing exactly what to replace. The mic plug area has a small board but no diodes on it just disc capacitors. I am looking for print. Board is marked ept295013z. Yeti Communications I agree with you also...

    Galaxy 22b base stuck on one channel.

    It will transmit and receive. By turning power on and off and holding down shift button and up down I can change channel slowly. I believe it has something to do with TX light on all the time. I think radio somehow thinks it is in a TX mode and then channel selectors will not work. Could a...

    Galaxy 22b base stuck on one channel.

    Radio does transmit and receive I unplugged plug in from mic board no change still shows TX in right hand part of screen. I found out that I can get buttons to change screen if I hold that button down and turn power off then on. What I mean is if I want to shift I hold down shift button turn...
