so I have a few d104s and turner SSKs, one of the SSK works great on my SBE Console II as do the OEM SBE Mics. The d104s, well those have been a pain. Now according to everything I have read SBE and Cobra (4 PIN) mic are wired the same? So I wired the d104s the same way. To help me sort...

You will love the 7300, I have one and a 718, get the screen protector and I also use a stylus for the touch screen, great radio. 73

The SWR on this antenna @ 27.385MHz with my antenna analyzer is about 4.5:1, the tuner should be able to match up to 10:1. I will call the mfg again.

I held the PTT on the mic during the entire process, I key the mic on AM, press the tune button, the red LED comes on, and once it turns off I let the tune button go and the relays start clicking, after about 5 seconds they stop and I get no green led indicating a match was found, I see the red...

The Z100 tuner. There is no radio cable interface, only coax cable, LDG states less than 1watt of RF will operate it, coverage 1.8mhz to 50 I believe. LDG said the radio interface cable will just allow more automation with some radios but not needed. I tried to do a manual tune and got the...

Well it did not work. The LDG turner is not getting any RF signal on 11m. Oh well.

So I have a end fed dipole I use for 40-10M on my ICom 7300, rather than putting up another antenna for 11m can I just use this antenna for my 11M radio too? I think LDG makes a generic tuner I could use with the 11M radio? The antenna resonates on 40-20-15-10m I believe. Thanks

Wow. I am a Ham, but I have no plans to convert the radio over to Ham Freqs. Just had a good old radio that wanted to use the higher legal CB channels for SSB. Guess that’s out of the question. Wow, still in shock over this one, lol. Thx

I was have a conversation with a guy I know who was telling me it’s illegal to swap out a crystal in a 23 radio to basically substitute CH 1-4 for CH 36,37,38, and 40. I’m like what? Now I know there are some crazy and outdated laws out there but didn’t some mgfs offer to send in to convert 23...

Thx David, appreciate it, will wait for one of those experts to confirm. I am sure you are correct, but I don’t want to lose $100 on the wrong crystals only to have to spend it again to fix the error. Lol.

Thanks guys, I am going to have a couple 12.100MHz crystals made by Bomar, this will allow these SBE CIIs to continue to live on CH 36,37,38,40. Much better than drilling holes and such for a VFO. So I need a HC25/U holder and the capacitance is 20pF, and I want accuracy of .005? Need to be...

I called him but he has no more and will not be getting more. Thx

So I need to have Bomar make me a couple crystals for the SBE Console II. They asked me to provide them with the Xtal holder and load capacitance ???? Any ideas???

This is one of the later cb/16, models, I also have an earlier version. The later version came in the original box, plastic, strofoam, and has the original owners manual (with the OEM schematic) and uncompleted warranty card. So I have one of each, I think. I can post some pictures of the...

Okay thanks, sounds easy enough, lol, I hope. I need to find some tiny non metallic screwdrivers to do this. I will center the clarifier at 12oclock before turning the trimmer. Now does the cv6 change receive or transmit, or both? I thought the clarifier only shifted receive? But since you...

Thank, so helpful. So, am I correct in assuming I center the clairifier knob on the radio and then adjust the trimmer to get it on frequency this way the clarifier is centered? I have access to another radio. So CV6 is the trimmer for the ch. 1-4 slot, which is now 36,37,38, 40.

Wow, thanks, but not sure I have the skill for that, certainanly don’t have the tools. It’s great to have this, if I could just find somebody to help me.

Thx, then what centers the clairifier?

Well, after messing with this all day I found the problem. Looking those channels I as having problems with are controlled by the 7.4625mhz crystal. Since I have two of these radios, I swapped that crystal, guess what, problem gone, another bad crystal. I am ordering a couple replacements for...

Update, well SBE#1 is having the same issues. It drifting off frequency and intermittently not transmitting or receiving on only some channels?? When it’s not working there is no tx or rx on the following channels: 7, 11, 15, 19 and then 38 (which is the crystal slot for ch 3). So there is a...
