Bad connection at J7 - problem resolved.

Been a member of cbrricks for years. I normally log on quite often. However, not logged on for probably 3-6 months. Now I can't. It says database error. Please don't respond with random guesses. 1.Is anyone else able to log onto the FORUM? 2.Do you know why I am having this issue today?

RESOLVED *** New radio. Plugged in. Turned on. Upon plugging in microphone, radio would shut off. Inspected the mic board. Two legs on the transistor of that board were touching. Cleaned up solder. Problem FIXED. Plugged mic in and keyed up. Just one problem, No Talkback. Everything else...

The frequency expansion is the same. Without seeing a pic of the board, I can't tell you the hi and low carrier adjustments and the 2 modulation adjustments. However, from personal experience (a lot of it) I wouldn't touch the modulation pots in the new version (2015 to present). They are...

Hey Sonoma, thanks for the note. I'm doing well. I didn't know about your wife. Sorry to hear that. Yeah, sometimes when you're fixing up your own radio for fun it's relaxing. Other times....arg. I do keep the guys at cbt busy sometimes. Normally, it's because a Galaxy came it with some...

Jeez, Nomad. I had no idea that kind of crap was so out of control. By far, it has consistently been the best resource over the years for me. Sonoma, jersey, Laz, -andy, all these guys have saved me many hours and taught me a great deal. Things have slowed down so much that I'm getting...

To answer your question: No. Removing Q39 will not cause the radio to have no output. The boards you're referencing are essentially the same. Theres a possibility that when you removed Q39 (assuming you de-soldered it), you accidentally soldered together two solder pads or pulled a pad up...

I like them. But the one think I hate is the controls. The volume takes about 10 seconds to turn down 20% (beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep) wait, still too loud, beep beep beep beep beep, ahh, screw it, MUTE. YES, ILL TAKE A BIG MACK, AMD SORRY ABOUT ALL THAT NOISE. Then, to...

Wait, I just saw this. The add on eBay is my ad, duh. The one that is cheaper is the old model. No MOSFET, bad filtering, no noise blanker, no rf gain control, no high/low power. If you did buy it, it was from me. :).

Well that wasn't fun. I think I spent more time getting the software and driver installed and working. Camaro, thanks for the I put. The whole "factory" check box to lock and unlock the test mode was helpful. The soft aware link enabled me to at least do that. I installed the full software...

Yes, Sam Luis died. Eric is in Charge. He's always been involved but I'm sure there is a lot of transitioning. They're probably bringing back the microphone but since it's such a small seller in comparison to everything they do, it's probably not at the top of the list. I'll bet it comes...

That is a considerable amount. Maybe the Stryker's display has a low tolerance but I would hope it is better than that. Although, with the amount of fluctuation I have experienced with this Stryker, it wouldn't surprise me if it moves 150hz but doesn't get reflected on the display because...

Thank you. Data able: standard USB to mini USB cable?

Yeah, I calibrate those galaxy displays a couple times every day. I can't find one in the 955 I've looked at the schemes, yup. I took French in 9th grade. These are in Greek. I'm gonna zip in an email to Shawn at Stryker, or maybe Sherman. I'll post it if I find out and nobody else has yet.

Everything is working great. The frequency display is reading off by approximately 115hz. I don't know if the frequency display adjustment is a pot of it it's a menu offset type of an adjustment.

Adjustment for the frequency display on the Stryker 955? Is there a pot or menus setup adjustment? Need the software?

Thanks for all the feedback. For some reason I'm not getting notified of responses. I actually send the radio to someone that deals with SMT boards. The worst things about these boards is when they use solder through components on boards made for sm components. Almost impossible to remove a...

Thanks, Mudduck - it's not my radio. A customer sent it to me.

Thanks for the input. Sorry, I'm not so versed in these boards. I was hoping to get a "no brainier" type of response. So, I'll have to do a little work I guess. Radio will power up only if L405 is in the circuit, but, of course, it will then just smoke because the L405 pad furthest away from...
