i tried to recreate the individual single and double circuits I previously built into a single package. getting closer to getting an ok tune on it, input SWR is perfect with the L match (6 turn air coil over a screwdriver and 270pf) so i'm thinkin it has to be the caps and the coil leading to...

so i have a few mosfet boxes that I homebuilt. i hooked the single up to the double and ended up getting 300Wpep ssb and 80RMS swingin over 250w on AM using a low drive PC 122 with abt 18w ssb and 3 swingin about 12 AM. theoretically 100W ssb and 60AM from that singlebanger driver is too much...

welp, the taiwan 25 has a home when it's done locally, and whatever I do will be up for sale. i only have 4 rigs i wont sell, and none of the ones on this list are it

what i do with the 959 is the p5-p6 channel mod and I drill a cpl holes in the top case right above the counter. i get the small toggles and the body of it sneaks in between the PCB and bezel.

ADDED TO THE ROSTER: a 21xlr

yea, split mode doesn't bode well on CB

so in this setup when the oscillator switches between the bands, does it just simply swamp out the extisting signal there? and by white and green wire.....since i dont have that reference on hand, the white is the oscillator output i'm assuming? what is the green?

the 25gtl is slowly crossing the finish line. i'm thinkin it will be posted in the gallery and the thread locked. next one i might either post in gallery, or maybe i'll do another thread to allow you guys (the peanut gallery) to interact with me while it happens again, idk. so in the pile i got...

if you change the 10.24 inside already what happens is is skews the steps so the rx and tx wont track

nice. where are those available at?

the internal 10.24 is still feeding the PLL in this layout but is disconnected from the vco section where it or the 9.79 is replacing the signal from the internal crystal. so no, bc i dont swap THAT particular crystal.

https://www.cbcintl.com/expander160.htm i have used it to switch between 10.24 and 9.79 and the oscillator is connected with a small rg174 coax so it wont leak. the internal 10.24 turns into something with a single job of establishing steps where down the line its injected in via the oscillator

next few pics might be nsfw. we're gonna get real....perferted with our content........(i'll see myself out sorry) so accomodating for the mounting bracket screw and other components. gonna build out the channel kit on this, kinda like an expo but not really, because it is diode switched with...

yea years back i ordered some from ebay for a rig where driver and final was blown, and they had no umpfh. ended up pulling a 1957 (which imo are good enough to leave alone) out of a parts pig rig and it worked great. i don't think HG makes drivers (but they should)

between the predriver and driver. the resistor r43 was the one i swapped from 10 to 4.7 right at the base of the driver. idk what its got in there but it is rockin. now where does one find a 2sc2314 these days that isn't counterfeit?

these old rigs are worth the work. the HG final really tuned out good i do that most of the time but ya know what? im thinkin this is good enough for govt work here with the numbers i'm seein. after posting that i actually thought to tune the slug right before the driver (duh). now we're at...

details details details. as im sure some of ya fellow working class bros have come to the realization that if you want nice stuff, ya gotta work for it. if you want a nice CB you are either dropping a big amt of dough, or you can take a rig headed for the scrapyard, dirt cheap, give it a little...

yea that makes a little more sense. 28 is on the high side of what you can peak into the amp, but ive seen it done

ah ok. so what is your radio putting out peak? arent those 50 watt rigs?

yea, im talkin about the 60 PEP part here tho. i figured the KL203 could handle a 980 but i always thought a dualfinal rig is more or less outta the question
