    TRC-458, good receive, no transmit

    No it's not. That was so, if the radio was used as a mobile with a positive ground, it would function properly. If used solely as a base, the board and the chassis ground can be connected together.

    Pitting current techs to old techs...

    All that's true to a point, but that won't always get people good jobs that pay well with good benefits. In my 43-year career, I worked for three corporations that were always designing and building equipment with the latest technology available to be competitive and stay at the top in their...

    Midland 13-866 Final/Driver Replacement

    Nothing wrong with N.O.S. It's new old stock. Or new original stock. Some don't understand what it is and will call it N.O.S. even though it's not. Many Chinese sellers will call it N.O.S. so beware! Items such as transistors, ICs, diodes, transformers, chokes, non-carbon composition resistors...

    Pitting current techs to old techs...

    Cobra 139XLR USB will not align...

    AM transmit frequency is adjusted in AM mode. Try using this. The SAMS book states to connect a frequency counter to the antenna jack with radio on channel 1 AM transmit and adjust VR9 to 26.965 MHz. Makes sense right? If I remember correctly, the AM crystal only sets the AM receive. The USB...

    I'm not tramdr, I'm tramd. I've used that "handle" for almost 30 years out here on the internet. tramdr came along much later. He used to be the Undertaker, not to be confused with the Undertaker here on this site. People always think I'm him, or he is me. I actually don't live far from you...

    Tram D201 and D201A BM board interchange?

    There are two different boards for the D201A 40 channel radio. They both are marked 17029-A. The early one has L203 on the far right-hand side of it. The second version doesn't have L203, but has a transistor with some caps and resistor changes. Also, 14.4 VDC was added to pin 2 of the chassis...

    Anyone Heard of a Palomar VC-300 voice scrambler

    Must be a lot of youngsters in here if they didn't know the internet didn't exist publicly back then.

    Here is the schematic you need. The potentiometer that you are missing (R69) is part of the ALC circuit that the 1974 and later transmitters had. Also, the instructions you need are here on this site under: CB Radio Modifications

    Junker 858 Madison

    Here's a video on where to find the gears. I've done this a few times. The only thing I had to do was to open up the hole just a little in the one gear so it would slide over the shaft. I bought the timers from eBay for about $8.00 each.
