I have a RCI-2970 that I use on 10 meters and I have a spare Heil Gold Line Mic that I would like to use on this radio.
My question is can the Heil be wired to work on the RCI? I believe it doesn't require any power from the radio since it isn't a power mic.
Also since this is a dual...
Thanks guys!
Both are Non Mosfet radios. The 2950DX has 2312's "1 driver & 2 finals".
The 2970DX has 2312's but "1 driver and 1 final".
So the 2950DX has dual finals but the 2970DX only has 1 final. I noticed my old RCI-2990 is the same way with only 1 driver and 1 final.
This has got me...
Ok sounds great!
Now once I solder the plug socket on to the main board of the 2950DX will that be all I need to do?? PLUG & PLAY?????
After the plug is installed is the circuitry there on the 2950DX like on the 2970DX to key up the amp or will I need to do a mod beside just installing the...
I have a RCI 2970DX that has smoked. The main board is burned beyond repair. But the Amp section of the 2970DX is still in great shape.
My question is.....Can the Amp section from the 2970DX be fitted to a 2950DX??
I know it's the same board, but how does the amp key up?
On my 2970DX...
How do you tell what year a RCI radio is made by just looking at the Serial Number? I know on my Kenwood TS-850 you just subtract 2 from the first digit of the serial number and that gives you the year.
Such as my Kenwood S/N is 70,xxx,xxx so you subtract 2 from 7 and you get 5. So it was...
I know I never had any good results with that trucker wilson 5000 mounted on the tool box. I tried different length shafts and whips. It was a night and day difference when I went back to the Wilson 5000 mag mount. Something just wasn't right.
This hobby is a learning experience!
Good Luck!!

I ran a Wilson Trucker 5000 with a 10" shaft mounted to the tool box in the middle. It worked marginal. The coil was almost level with the top of the truck and I could never get the SWR down below 2.0 and it never performed like my mag mount Wilson 5000 did. I even ran a...
When I took that pic I only had the Larsen dual bander mounted on the driver side tool box with a L bracket NMO mount and a very bent 102 whip that was unhooked at the time. I have the 5000 back on the roof now and hitting everything in sight. So far it's holding up!
I have a 2000 SuperDuty F250 7.3PSD sitting on a 6 inch lift and military 37's. I run my wilson 5000 mag mount on top as well. But just like you, I hit everything! I have tried other antennas in other locations, and I always go back to the 5000 on the roof.
It just seems to work better than...

Hey Doc,
I have always been a Kenwood Fan myself, but I just thought I might adventure out to something different. Im going to go try both radios out and see which one I like the best. Im leaning toward the TS-850S since I had very good luck out of my past TS-450S.
Wish I could find a DSP-100...
