Thanks Nomad. This would explain the crazy gain on the radio and why the rf gain control is needed to be barely turned for all kinds of receive signals.

Hi guys, i have a 2980 that i would like to run off of a 13.8vdc external power supply when needed. Any suggestions on connection to main board and if i am able to use the radios power button. I assume i would need to install a ac/dc switch like seen on all base radios meant to be able to run...

I realize this is an older thread but figured i would ask here rather then starting a new 2980 posting. Thx

I came across this in my 2980 when trying to drop the low power carrier which will not adjust using the low power vr16 (does nothing). The board in this base is ept360014b. I have checked the voltage going to the main board and shows approx 14vdc. I also found a disconnected black wire floating...

Hello, does anyone have a clue on why this resistor has been jumped in the pic. ?

Thanks guys. I will try the links when home as they aren't working for me where im at. Cheers and beers

Anyone have a fully working display / control head for kenwood ts50s ? I am hoping to find one that already has the caps replaced in behind the display. Please send me a message if you have one available and will ship to canada. The one i have works but has no front lights due to failed caps and...

Now thats a desk! Nice

Hi, i currently use only mag mount antennas and have had very good results with an old wilson 1000 antenna. Im wondering if trying a center load antenna would gain even better results. I find that center load antennas usually are fixed mount and not usually seen used with a mag mount i guess...

I appreciate the feedback guys. Ill look into that same switch your using shadetree. 73s

Good afternoon, im using a mfj 1700 type antenna / transmitter switch (currently used with 3 antennas / 5 radios). I am wondering if there is any risk of rf damage to the switch connected radios that are powered off while using one that putts out 100-200w ? Ive noticed that the isolation between...

You guys are great. Much appreciated!

Good morning, ive searched high and low for mic pin out to use a mc-60 with a 6 pin rci-2995dxcf base radio and cant turn up anything. No dount others have used the mc-60 desk mic with 6 pin 2995 and hoping someone already has the pin out handy. If theres an adapter available that works i would...

Your original posting was between a Lincoln and a mckinley. If you are looking at other options after you rid the mckinley then sure, theres others worth mentioning. Including the 6666 and strykers. But back to what you started this post comparing, between the two, Lincoln is my pick. Good luck

Ya, i think you have more options available to you with the lincoln. Its the way i would choose but your mileage may vary :) cheers

Sell it new in box and get the lincoln. My reasoning on this is 1. You already had a mckinley and 2. The Lincoln can be channel expanded which may or not be important to you. If the added channel coverage is important to you then imo the decision is simple :) Best and 73s

I may go with the dimming / brightness control if i cant figure out an easy way to shut it off completely. I will be using the radio for something specific where it will be powered on for many hours a day so figured i could maybe save the backlights from burning out by shutting them off...
