Thanks everyone... I'll get this done!

Well, I picked up two nice MC-60 Kenwood mics under the impression they'd work on my Yaesu. THEY DON'T!! hahaha Anyone explain where to find a good rewire chart? Thanks!!!

I run a Sirio 5000 with mag mount and it is 6 years old with zero issues. Flat match. I've worked Brazil, Australia and Japan from my car in Seattle.

My Smokey & the Bandit wanna be 1978 Z/28 in 1997. Conditions were great that year as you can see on my 148GTL is on 38LSB. I worked Hawaii from my car in Seattle, WA!

It's been hooked up the same way since new, same antenna, same power. The antenna has been used to work half the world so I'm sure that is OK!

It is straight to my car battery and it powers my Yaesu FT-840 just fine?

It was a brand new out of the bag stock mic. I'll take this sucker apart and take a look at that mic trace. It is at least 6 years old now! Thank you for the tip, Eldorado! (Terminus Eldorado by Ted Nugent now in my brain).

So my good ol' Quad 6 has stopped working. When I key up, it looks like I'm keying and unkeying rapidly, about twice a second. Chunk chunk chunk chunk. It is unmodified and I've tried a brand new mic and it didn't change things. I've reset it via the software. Any ideas?

So Friday I had some success. Worked (From Seattle, WA) 500 Kansas on 27.395LSB 501 Orange County, CA mildly out of band

Be warned, if you check in on a modern radio you'll get harped at! hahaha but they're all good guys!

This isn't CB related but I bought my first shortwave radio from Radio Shack. It was a DX-375 and had no sideband and only tuned in 5kHz steps but it was what I could afford. It was $99 and it is what got me bit by the radio bug way back in 1992. I moved on to bigger and better things but even...

Lower 16 on Saturday nights is the Old Timer's net and old 23 channel SSB rigs in the Seattle area run by 431. Give a listen at 6:30PM Pacific!

I will pay for shipping if he takes you up on it. email me at allfalldown@mac.com when you have the address and I'll send you back a UPS label.

Do you have multiple antennas strung up at all? This interests me. Of course, it probably is the chase of all HF amateur hounds... hahahah

Yes, I have it! A D104M wired up and all cleaned up. Got a new face for it and had our local ex-Navy guy go through it. Classic big audio!

The FT-891 is on my radar! checking out the HR2600 now also.

Indeed, I got my bang for the buck with it. Bone stock took it out of the box and its been all up and down the west coast, back roads, hills. I was so spoiled I was surprised when it didn't key up!

This is what I'm seeing right now:

Well, the original mic has never been taken off in 5 years until this happened. That's what made me try the new mic. Are you talking about the pins where the mic attaches or on the inside of the radio? I'll give the pins a once over and take a look.

OK, my trusted friend and radio nuts! I get to splurge. My AT 6666 is down and pending its repair (if it can be repaired) and relegation to backup, I have the opportunity to splurge on a new radio. My car is SMALL so I usually run it on the seat and stow it when not in use. I love the 6666 and...
