radio only swings about 8 watts, any ideas for a good amplifier? maybe around 500 to 800 watts

Think I fixed it. The wire right were it entered the bulb was loose. I soldered it a bit heavier and it no longer does it, SO FAR! I've left it on bright for several hours, good so far. Magnum said warranty was up, sorry

Bought it 1 1/2 year ago. Had copper electronics tune and convert it. (BIG MISTAKE) right out of the box, (prob #1)had to install a new antenna connector in the radio. Copper stripped it out. Then got it hooked up and, (prob #2) 11m am worked good, 10m and 11m ssb was horrible. Sounded over...

I believe its rt206. Bottom cover off, front of radio facing yourself, right hand side near the back. Should be printed in the board.

Got my 980 in the mobile with a DX500V and roof mount Wilson 5000. The 980 Carrier is set @1/2w, and 10-12Pep. Swr is 1.3 on all 40's. To get the DX500V to have a carrier of 100W, the 980 was tuned down to 1/2W and the 10-12W pep only pushes about 350W out of it. NOT BAD, BUT NOT ENOUGH! Tried...

Just wondering how good or bad the 25/29 lx based radios are liked compared to the classic line? An SSB radio (148gtl) I think would complete the lineup nicely. What do you guys think? Yes, no, maybe?

Hey morseguy,its been working fine for a year, then not turned on for 2-3months then, WHAM SSb carrier. The carrier balance is no longer an adjustable pot, RV107 looks like 2 resistors, or small caps, idk. Anyone know what the (VALUES) should read on RV107?

Thx white bear ill look them up

Have a s45hp sittin on the desk bout 2 months, no probs up till now. Out of the blue, turned it on yesterday, wham, LSB has 70w carrier (no swing), USB has 10w carrier,(swings to 70w) AM and FM Carriers are normal 16w (swings to 70w). Changed mics, coax. pushed around on the board no change. Any...

Awsome! That was my plan exactly,but wasn't sure about the ribbon wire tho. Now I know it can be done. Plug and play would be nice too. Thx for the thread.

Comet adapter is ad-35m Diamond adapter is d38-24 I thought mine was comet, but in fact its the diamond, It looked stronger than the comet, I think it was aluminum,

Tx-ing and being able to operate the controls are the only reasons I was looking for this option. SSB is a must also. My ftm350 2meter radio is a perfect example, if only 10/11 meters

Anyone?

Any suggestions for a mobile radio with a detach front panel that can be used on 11M, Don't have allot of room for the traditional CB radio, only place is in the center armrest, but have to lean forward to see the display. Very Inconvenient!

I have a wilson 5000 roof mount antenna on a quadcab truck, mfj analyzer reads, ch1-40 with SWR 1.2@51ohms@2z`s. Change antenna to a comp series predator 10k using the comet adapter, the mfj reads, Ch1-40, SWR 1.2@36ohms@0z`s. Is this mismatch in ohms going to hurt/affect anything? IF SO...

Thx Robb,Im just trying to learn things about radios, how to do simple things or just a what if/could it be, kinda thing. Thx for the info. Not sure why everyone else bothers to post anything, when they`re not contributuing any USEFUL info to the question. THERE SHOULD BE AN (OPINION...

Anyone know how to change the tone of the roger beep? I found how to change the length, and volume of it. So far no one knows how to change the tone. Thx

Im gonna have to learn more about these systems, i never looked into trunk tracking when it came around. Now im lost for sure. Radio reference has nothing on pell city alabama yet, the old freq (159.090) now has the data burst on it every minute or so. Guess Ill look around for a good scanner...

Our city police just swapped to digital from VHF analog. Is there a scanner that will receive this digital signal, is it the same as digital trunked systems?

ROOF MOUNT!!!!! I was using the mag mount Wilson5000, with a dx500 and a cobra 29lxle, I DID NOT want a hole in the roof, Either,BUT after 4-6 weeks the paint/clear under the mag started dulling and when tried to clean it, it wasnt coming clean, had to sand and polish it out. So since...
