    357 can still take care of himself at 52

    That's you? He messed with the wrong one, looks like you tried handling it amicably but when the chips are down you handle that business. I'm getting too old to fight so I fight dirty. I would've beat the thug outta him with a wiper blade.

    Cherokee CBS-1000 same as?

    You're right, I'm blind. I looked right over it. Thanks friend.

    Cherokee CBS-1000 same as?

    Someone told me they think this radio shares the same board as others. Also, if you know what the driver/final transistors are, kindly share. Once I get it here I can grab a few pics, just doing some research beforehand. There is some info on cbtricks although no schematic.

    Components

    Yes, but buying from parts houses usually have a minimum order of components in excess of what you need, a minimum cart and shipping near or greater the price KM charges. To get the quality capacitors KM sells often requires purchasing from more than one place. You could buy inferior Chinese...

    2 meter mobile antenna recommendations

    I'm contemplating moving my Icom 2300H from the desk to the truck. I already have a CB in it with a 102" whip, looking for an antenna I can bolt on somewhere for 2 meter also. Mag mount on the cab if I have to. The radio is 65 watts and the antenna doesn't need to handle any more than that...

    HP power supply mod DPS-1200FB-1A HSTNS-PD19

    Thanks, I did, and purchased 4 of them, although I was a bit confused about the added S in the model, as the videos don't include it, instead showing only HSTN, maybe it's a slimmer version? I will figure it out when I get them. I have been on the fence about these for a few years. I have used...

    FCC has removed all the call sign look up pages

    Since there are no ways to verify calls, does that mean it's open, since the ham bands are largely policed by hams? Without that resource, there is no recourse.

    HP power supply mod DPS-1200FB-1A HSTNS-PD19

    These are cheap enough, I have to make sure they are modifiable first.

    HP power supply mod DPS-1200FB-1A HSTNS-PD19

    I found a few from $25-36.99, some free shipping, some not. If you see a listing for $15 with less than $10 shipping, please link. I'm thinking of going this route and the cheaper the better.

    What is the make and model?

    Wow, looks rare and hard to come by. He might be best off upgrading.

    What is the make and model?

    I believe you found it, that's gotta be it. Thank you, now I know what to expect.

    What is the make and model?

    That's what he sent, I can't make anything out excepts watts, and he said it is a pic of a pic, so idk what he's doing. I thought he had it in front of him, but I guess not. I may have to wait until it's on my desk.

    What is the make and model?

    Bad quality pic, but a friend sent the pic over messages and it lost quality. He said he needs another movement and SO239 on the bottom, but he doesn't know who makes it.

    If you were a pirate broadcaster, what's playing right now?

    Dare I say he plays that better than Mr. King himself? Although much faster and with little feeling, but still with talent unexpected from even the most precocious individual. If he played like that through a complete album I would buy it.

    That was well said, Brandon. Thanks for the explanation and confirmation.

    Cobra 142GTL alignment challenge with unknown part installed

    I have the original Sam's at home for it, I will check, but I believe modulation adjustment is included in it. I should be home in a few hours and will update then.

    Cobra 142GTL alignment challenge with unknown part installed

    That should be the modulation limiter, if my memory serves me. I will check it out when I get home. There is a mod to add that vr on similar board which lack it, and that is where it goes, to control modulation.

    Another 55v no xmit

    Keep an eye on that hot potato resistor from earlier, if it goes nuclear again you got a ground issue. All I can say is hit every joint you can and scrutinize every wire.
