I sent my Browning Eagle R-27 & S-23 to Barkett CB Repair (was recommended) to have both sets brought up to top condition. The tubes were okay but there was no receive. When I got it back, along with a lot of bad parts in a bag, the radio was working again. He stated that he took some parts...

Just FYI, I used to have stacked Wilson V Quads and at that time they out performed stacked PDL 2's. But that was a long time ago and I don't know if they changed after Wilson folded. Now I have an IMax 2000. It did play hell with the touch lamps in my house and the people around me in my 55+...

Thanks, I appreciate it! Terry

Okay, I have the base wiring straightened out now. In doing some looking around on the net I find 4 and 6 wire diagrams for the plug going into the radio. Astatic (4 wire) 1- Shield 2- White 3- Red 4- Black Astatic (6 wire) 1- Shield & Blue 2- White 3- Red 4- Black Yellow NC I...

Thanks for the 2 diagrams. I think that will do the trick. Terry

Okay, thank's a lot I'll have to see if that still works! Terry

I dug up an old D-104 with the UG8 stand. I used this back in the 70's on a Browning R-27 S-23 base. If memory serves me correctly (it usually doesn't) someone added an amplifier to it. I don't think it originally had one. I want to run it on my Galaxy DX-2547 without the amplifier. It...

Thanks for the info and chart. It seems to be working okay. At least now I don't turn on the touch lamps. Terry

Put up a PVC pipe, slap a flag on top and hide an antenna inside the pipe. Terry

I dropped my IMax and changed the coax. Then I added the coil. Back on the air again! Terry

I was driving home from a VA appointment in Gainesville, FL Tuesday morning. I was listening to channel 38LSB to 3 or 4 men talking over their cups of coffee. You know the type of conversation, teasing about things and just having a good time. The subject got around to Christmas. This one...

I took my Galaxy DX-2547 to their shop for some repair work. He did a great job on it. Now I can vary my output from 2 watts to 38 watts. The radio couldn't tune to the center slot of a channel. That was why I took it up there. He also fixed that. No complaints at all on my part. On a...

I wished I still worked for a company that I was with many years ago. I was a ceramics technician for Spectrum Control in PA. They made EMI filters for the auto industry and NASA. If anyone needed filters to stop EMI, they had it. Very costly! That was a good idea you had there. I'll...

Moving it dropped the signal from a 7 down to a 2. I'll have to check into some shielded cable like you suggested. Thanks! Terry

I'm picking it up over the air. I'll try moving the wireless system somewhere. Terry

Found The Problem It was my wireless internet causing the noise. Terry

My old Browning R-27 S-23 can still put out 100% modulation. Heck it doesn't even have SSB.:thumbup: Terry

Now I feel a little dumb! I disconnected the antenna and the noise went away. I turned the volume all the way up and still no noise. Why the mobile doesn't get it I have no idea. The 2 radios are basically the the same. The base is a Galaxy DX-2547 and the mobile is a Galaxy DX-959. What...

I seem to be picking up a lot of noise from by 110v power line. My Jeep is about 30' from my base radio and it doesn't have it. Its a high pitched noise and is very strong. Because of it I cannot use the following channels: 23, 28,31,34,37 and 40. Other than the first number they are 3...
