    Looking to Buy a NICE AND MINTY Kenwood TS 50S

    Yes, I have owned several of these over the years, and it's the radio I traded for, when I bought a brand new Cobra 2000 in 1990, and decided that it was overrated, and never really cared for the looks of it. anyway. I always thought it looked more like a sofa, than a radio. Never had an issue...

    Finally! A practical use for the Cobra 148GTL-DEE

    If I send mine to you, would you fix it up for me? My wife loves the radio, but it sounds like poop on SSB. She won't part with it, so I would like to fix it up for her. I'll pay for the parts and labor, of course :)

    I have a 2900 and have owned it for years, but it's developed an issue, where it won't transmit on high power, it only transmits on med and lo power.

    WTB: 2SC 1307 Transistor

    I'm needing one for my 858 Washington. I have the 1306 and the pre driver already, but haven't been able to source this one. The guy I sourced these from, said he had the 1307, but sent me the 1969, stating that it will work, totally ignoring the fact that I wanted the 1307 specifically.

    High quality knock of Toshiba 2sc2879?

    Mast Material / Metal ?

    I use a 30' fiberglass push up pole, purchased from DX Engineering, and with a Sirio Tornado 27 sitting on top. Grounded the antenna with 5 AWG wire, and no CMC getting in like it was with the Tram 1498. Very pleased with this setup.

    Tram 1499 base antenna

    Bought a brand new Tram 1498 less than a year ago, and it suddenly failed for no apparent reason. Total junk.

    Galaxy DX 2517 Problem

    Well, I just fired it up, and it's working in all modes. Only problem, is that the RF power knob does nothing. It dead keys 3W and swings to 39W PEP on all modes, except FM.
