do you know what needs to be done (soldered) in the front panel for 240ch expansion ? i have v1.1 of 79-290 and just using guide from http://www.hardwarehacking.com/category/radio/citizen-band-radio/cb-radio-mods/midland/ Maximus, I bought my 79-290 new and it already had access to six bands...

Re: 2950dx Yes thats exactly what I plan to do if it's not too late already, It is a bit disappointing when a company who you have dealt with on a number of occassions chooses to bury their heads in the sand when things go wrong. A simple email regarding their procedures when this sort of...

GI Joes Thomas, It looks like I have also been burned by GI Joes as an order that was supposed to be shipped out on August 17th has still not arrived down here. A journey that would not normally take no more than 14 days, well its been over five weeks now and still no sign of it and...

Highland Ranger, Sorry for the late reply, if you haven't bought the firestick yet, don't bother buying it as ther are better antenna options. I am currently using the predator 10k with a 4 pad magmount and this absolutely kills the 5ft Firestick I used to use even the Wilson 5000 would be a...

I have just purchased a Heil hand mic and want to wire it for an 8 pin Kenwood TS140s. Colors of the wires are red, yellow, black and shield. Thanks Murray

To answer your question yes he has done this on them before but a couple of years ago. Option one is to tweak the course clarifier and option two is to add a second crystal and oscillator to achieve this. He thinks the crystal is 4500mhz but I have no doubt that someone on the forum here will be...

HR2510 Sounds like it might be a repair job for Roger or Doc.

Can anyone tell me what crystal is used in these radio's? I have just sent the radio off to a tech to get a slide installed so I can drop down 5khz but the tech wants to identify the crystal used, but unfortunately I sent the radio off to him yesterday so Can't open it up to have a look. Murray

Realistic HTX100 My friend john has one of these rigs and it has been modified to work the cb band. How this was done I don't know as it done before he bought it. This radio is a close relation of the President Lincoln, HR2510 and HR2600 family of rigs without FM so the best person to talk to...

Aaverage Power to PEP When I first posted this topic I didn't realise how big the can of worms I was opening was. I have now purchased a Yaesu meter that reads PEP and this tells me my amp is putting out what it is supposed to. Thanks for the replies guys. Murray

Mine came with access to all the other channels and also 10 meters the only other thing that would be great would be to have a 5khz slide so as to be able to go down and use the zero channels. Just wondering if anyone else has done this to these radios. Having access to 10 meters is great even...

Beam antennna Bionic Texan, I was in the same situation a few years ago and the solution that I came up with was to mount a vertical 5/8 and a horizontal 3 element yagi on the same mast. Running two feedlines down to the radio with a coaxial swich so I can change from vertical to horizontal...

Lincoln Misbehaving Yota, there are two guys regarded as experts on the forum here, Rogerbird and Doc. Both have reputations for dealing with problems on these radio's. While I have not used Doc's services I have used Rogerbirds and my chip switched HR2510 really screams. You might like to give...

what are the differences between the Astatic Road Devil and the 636 noice cancelling mic's? Pirate

Heil HC5 Elements With these elements you can use them like a noise cancelling mic and have your mouth only about two inches away from them, this certainly brings the modulation level up to the same level as the stock mic's. There doesn't seem to be any hiss or crackle from over modulation and...

Heil HC5 Elements The d104 hand mic or any power mic would certainly be worth investigating. I took mine apart but their is not alot of room in there with the circuit board, I dont know if the element would be accessed easier from the front of the mic or if the grill could easily be removed...

Hi Guys, Ihave just inherited an old amplified D104 With the T-UG8 base the wiring colors are as follows Black Shield White Red How do I wire this up for the HR2510 5 pin connector?

2950DX Cowboy, congratulations on your purchase, you will not be disappointed in the 2950 dx. it's a great radio and a good start, just keep saving for the amp and you will be working international skip in no time. Murray

Microphone 927, What sort of radio microphone combination are you using, The addition of a power mic may help. Also is your mic for base or mobile use. Sometimes impedance mismatch can also reduce the effectiveness of a microphone. Murray

High Miler, Look for a post further down the page "Heil HC5 Elements." In it Duckkilla6 said that he installed one in the Silver Salute, it's probably easier to install it in one of the lollipop mics than a hand mic as there is more room. Murray
