    Heil Elements

    Heil Retrofit High Miler, Heil do make a retrofit for the D104 desk mics and this could probably be easily modified for Silver Salute. I am not sure of the simularity of these two microphones. For the two mics I have done I used the soft rubber pad that Heil package the elements in as a...

    Heil Elements

    Heil mic Elements I just installed Heil elements in my HR2510 and Ranger 2950dx hand mics and noticed that the modulation level has dropped off a bit but they sure do sound good. the mic elements I used were the HC5 model. It might have been better to put them in an amplified mic but I just...

    Will 5 pin cobra mic work with HR2510/Lincoln?

    HR 2510 vs Cobra I am not 100% sure but I have a mic wired up for a 5pin Uniden Grant Classic (which is supposed to be wired the same as the 5pin Cobra) and this mic will not work on my HR2510. Murray

    Astatic D104m6b

    I just struck a problem while using my D104 hand mic with my 2950 dx. The mic has stopped modulating on ssb. In fact when you key up on ssb the needles on the swr meters go hard over as they would while txing an AM carrier. I just wonder if this could have been cause by stray RF from my amp...

    hi from uk

    Bob's CB I have to agree about the comments about Bob's CB, it is the place that I always use. I have always found the staff very helpful and very courteous. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them and their communication is always excellent. If something is not in stock they will let you...

    FM?

    FM CWM, I think what causes this confusion especially among people just getting into radio is that most FM transmissions occur on VHF/UHF and this is why they get the impression that it is a short range mode. But as we have all found out VHF/UHF is really the factor limiting range and...

    FM?

    FM ON 27MHZ Hi Guys, I can now confirm that FM does work for skip contacts as I just spoke with an operator in Australia on 27.350mhz who lives 1500 miles away. Murray

    Anyone heard about this radio

    RealisticTRC453 I can also confirm that inside it is identical to the Uniden PC122. Stock mic and speaker are definitely worth replacing. Good mobile rig as it is very small and easy to fit in most cars.

    4 Element Yagi style antenna's

    Dodgy euipment and salesman speak with forked tounge Master Chief, Iknow what your getting at. When I got back into radio I was pretty gullable and bought one of the new Cobra NWST radio's which was bought on the reputation that Cobra had with the older 138 & 142 -148 GTL's and very soon I...

    4 Element Yagi style antenna's

    Mosley vs Jo-Gunn Jonbah, thanks for the reply, you have confirmed what I suspected, I had reservations about JoGunn mainly because of the inflated gain figures and am sure they would sell a lot more antenna's if they were a little more realistic with the gain figures and dropped the whole...

    2950DX or S-9

    2950DX Unit725, Yes I would have to admit that Ranger 2950DX is one of the best export radio's and the tune up by Rolling Radio's certainly makes it perform. I certainly have no intention of selling mine. The biggest asset of 2950DX is that they are so frequency stable, hot or cold doesnt seem...
