    Texas Star 350HDV

    And as for the meter. That workman is a pile, I don't ever use it except for to just double check my swr once a week before I get on the radio, I only mentioned the workman as a joke because they are the power happy meters that tell you all sorts of mystical powers lol! But either way, I...

    Texas Star 350HDV

    I thought the whole point of me having a variable amplifier is so I could run whatever power I like into the amp! (To an extent) Hence the name of the amp "high drive variable, hdv" I don't want to ruin my audio by dropping my dead key down to 2 watts as I hear many other guys in my group...

    D&A PHANTOM TRIPLE STAGE Question

    This is why I love them all, to have 30+ year old USA hand crafted point to point wired radios and amplifiers that still work great is the best feeling ever! Even the ones that don't work still look great up there on the shelf!

    Cobra 21X 23 Channel Mobile? Dual Final??

    Thank you, big help! I have a few parts radios with 2078's so that'll work. Research is tough currently, doing all of my research and schematic work off an iphone, no computer around (spending too much on radio stuff instead) lol

    MIDLAND CB MODEL 79-265 MOBILE EXTRA CHANNELS/CLARIFER MODS

    Old and possibly non related. But I have a realistic walkie, it has the lc7131 pll, I pulled pin 20 out of the board and soldered wires in place and to the pin to a switch. Open its low band and closed its regular. Not sure if this works with your radio but that's my .02 on mine with that pll...

    Cobra 19 ltd classic almost no receive. Unless I use another CB in same room.

    Thank you Robb. Tried multiple pieces of coax, this is only a problem with this particular project radio. I got it with a pile of radios from eBay dirt cheap. On its own, on ch6 while skip is hot, it would come in faintly on its own, but those guys on there could give you a s6 with a metal...

    Cobra 19 ltd classic almost no receive. Unless I use another CB in same room.

    Everything else works normally, but it will not recieve any audio, won't even move the needle unless I'm using a handheld in the same room and it then receives perfectly. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Midland 75-822 mod

    I have taken it apart. And the board is similar but the points are different. Tomorrow I will snap a pic of mine and put it next to the pic of the 820 I keep finding.
