well I bought 2 so I may try installing one on my DX55HP it’s a duel final radio so ima have to turn it down It’s not adjusting the dead key right now I have to fix it first

Ok so I purchased this brand new stinger board installed it on a perfectly working Cobra 25 crystal clear output never been modified I don’t have much more output... The radio factory dead keyed 2 watts swings 4 so I installed a “swing kit” which I really don’t like doing set it up 3 watt...

VR 13 I adjusted from 0 - 10 watts (briefly) then back to 7 ( with power knob all the way up ) And I was thinking the power adjust pot on front of radio or possibly VR 16 (both are just variable resistors correct? ) just need to ground one lead and start doing continuity checks through each...

I reflowed driver and finals... a couple other things in that area along with a couple case grounds that looked funny I got good SWR Good 7 watt key power adjusted all the way up Good swing 25 watts don’t know if that’s enough but now no Adjusting dead key with power knob adjustment I...

finals are good

I changed the so-239 connector last night thinking maybe it was the cause of the issue No dice without removing from the board... is there a way to voltage check finals to tell if they are good/ bad? I can get schematic and such I just haven’t found voltages for the finals yet

I tried uploading a video but I haven’t been able to figure out how yet.. I just my cell phone for most pictures and such I don’t know how to get a video uploaded with computer either... it won’t let me Buttttt here is a pic of where the original location was Looks correct???? I just put...

Ya that top picture is what it done previously I’m thinking to cause this issue... ( for anyone else viewing this post ) I did install a new jumper wire to the exact location it was and it is the correct location denoted there what could cause the SWR being high? All the time?

What are the transformer voltages suppose to be???? I can’t find them on cb tricks

Thanks both driver and final driver have supply voltage properly I checked there and I was going down the line of schematic and I did a lot of voltage checks earlier let me get back with you in a bit on what else I checked but I spent bout an hour and a half checking items

well I think it’s broke... I had a problem the so-239 connector was spinning the center Terminal and intermittently getting a bad connection... I was dropping in and out receive and TX... I KNOW NOT GOOD so I changed out connector and now it’s looking like I have an issue of low power... The...

I have red RX light come on the speaker goes quiet... it makes a speaker noise when you do key the mike... during the cut off of RX I guess... no movement on the meter at all, no carrier. I’ve verified the mike plug and connections are good and solid I’ve resistance checked The Dynamike pot and...

Ok so far kinda good I guess... I’ve been playing with the receive I have it receiving Chrystal clear but I don’t know how far exactly or how sensitive... reason I say that is I’m not getting much static with gain all the way up and squelch all the way off.... BUT... I still don’t have a...

THANKS! I may hollar back at you tomorrow with where I’m at on the radio

Oh don’t think for one second I won’t be absorbing up all the info you give me like a sponge... it is an extremely great privilege to be working with you sir and learning... this kind of info is almost unobtainable nowadays, I’m a life long fan of yours for sure... you’ve put more effort in...

Just a description of what I have... it ain’t nothing but a good start... the auto antenna tuner has a dummy load as well as my MJF 300 watt

Just a quick upload of what I have in the shack and that’s all for tonight but by the weekends end we will have TX

Signal generator was also on the list... along with RF sampler to hook scope up

All I have to say is WOW I can’t even begin to express my appreciation for all your work getting this information to me... the best thing I can to show my gratitude is learn all that I possibly can and keep the radio technician hobby going! best part is... I have full receive! With NB/ANL on I...
