Cool. I used to have that one back in the 90s. It was a fantastic radio. I sold it and bought a 148gtl which is also long gone. I always likedvthe courier brand. Very easy to work on and very good designs sort of like the quality of Lafayette radios.

Much appreciated. Thsnks. The centurian is that the big 40 ssb base?

They are great. I may need more than the alignment info. Looks like the radio went faulty so the last owner turned everything.

Thanks Dan.

I opened up a courier conquerer II today only to find that all the darn slugs were turned. It transmits fine, with my walkie I can hear myself on all 23 channels. I seriously need the alignment pages for the courier conquerer II. Its av23 chamnel radio. If anyone has it, Id be grateful. Thanks.

Thanks very much Dan. Now I can figure out why its not locking into the VCO when switched from am to lsb on channels higher than 30.

Hello Dan, hope you are well. Thanks to you and your effort supporting the hobby, I was able to repair avfewbof my radios. I sooo appreciate your support. I have put my cobra 135xlr on the bench and thought I had the manual but I dont. Do you have the sams for the 135 xlr? Thanks

Did me some good reading about broadbanding methods. This was how it was done.

Im wondering if the display the same as the cobra 25 or 29? I need a 16 pin, 8 top, 8 bottom, center pins common, and common anode. I got a lot of 25s snd 29s snd 148s. Let me know. Thanks. Edit: cobra 25 Ltd has the correct pin out and common anode configuration. Only difference isvthe color...

The radio talked to me today. It told me to remove that black box, remove the cap underneatch and repair the cut run, and remove that electrolytic cap, the start the tuning process over again for the 7th time and I will fial in perfectly. Its working great! Thanks for all your help. Soon I will...

Yeah. Its going back on the shelf once fixed. This is what people did pre- export radio days. Added a watt or 2 and lost their mod, pull out a few parts to get screeching mod, mess with the switches and install a bunch of uppers and lowers, then to really screw things up for the next guy, just...

No problem. I peel that crap out in the morning.

I wonder if I put in another varactor in paralell with CT3 if that would give me more tuning range...

It could be a home made type of varactor. Diode and capacitor. But its mote. It proved to make a minor clarifier change when bypassed

Better shot. Ive since cleanedvoffvthat blob of solder and flux. See the small square?

There appears to be some sort of diode with what looks like a SMD diode hooked to it. Its on the right side of this crystal. Image might not show it until you click on it. Its in series with a diode which looks like a varactor diode. Has a green band. Could be a broad band thing. I put a short...

I think it does. I removed one side and didnt notice any changes

I replaced it twice. It tests good on the bench. Early days into this project. I even swapped out the trimmer for a higher pf then went back to a new 20pf. They cant all be bad. There appears to be another cspbin parallel with the trimmer on the schematic.

Im wonderingnif thisvradiobwhich had uppers and lowers also got broadbanded? There is a disc cap soldered accross avcut run that has crappy solder work. Im gonna find out where it appears in the schematic.
