    I was wondering if it was able to be rebuilt or not ... it was turned all the way down, and now it won't come back up .

    I Need Help Cross Referencing A Part

    I'm working on an old Icom IC-290 2 meter all mode , and the adjustable USB inductor is bad, it's L8 in the service manual . The manual says that the part number is LS-149A, and the inductor says 23749A on it. I've been searching the internet for a few weeks now, and I haven't able to find any...

    Vintage Amp Modification

    Ok, I have to run this by you guys. Maybe one of you has seen something like this before. I recently came across a D & A Raider amp. Since I wasn't familiar with it, I started researching it hoping that to learn more about it. I discovered that this amp was created to be an 11 meter only amp...

But it has no receive, does anyone here have any idea what might be causing this, because I'd really like to make this radio operational...

    Ten-Tec Triton I (510)

    I recently bought a Ten-Tec Triton I (510) at a local hamfest a couple of months ago . It didn't have the right power supply with it when I bought it , instead it had the Ten Tec Model 262m with it . Which I was told wouldn't work right without the proper adjustments, and so on, and so on . So...

    Cobra 2000 GTL Issue

    No, it's never been recapped before. Everything is still original in it. But I did get a recap kit for it from Klondike Mike. So that will be getting done.

    Cobra 2000 GTL Issue

    Actually, no . I disconnected it, and stored it away for a year or two. It was fine when I disconnected it and put it away. Then when I pulled it back out and hooked it up again a few years later, it's doing this craziness instead of acting the right way now.

    Cobra 2000 GTL Issue

    No, it's still a 5 pin mic jack. It used to be my grandmothers , and I inherited it a few years ago when she passed away. So I know it's history . She bought it new , and never had any crazy work done to it . It worked really well for the first year or so. But then recently it started acting up...

    Me and the FCC

    Just a thought , but try reporting it to the FCC as a Ham operator issue instead of as an 11 meter issue . Since it's effecting the 10 & 12 meter bands as well . I had the same issue here a few years ago . Something at my neighbors house was effecting 11 meters for me too . But it was also...

    Cobra 2000 GTL Issue

    I think I may have answered my own question . I've been researching , and I think that the VR12 may be the culprit. Previously my Cobra 2000 was having a mic gain issue . If you turned the mic gain up to around the 10 or 11 o'clock position it would get really wonky when it was keyed up . Now...

    Cobra 2000 GTL Issue

    Hi everyone, I've got a 5 pin Cobra 2000 GTL that I'm having an issue with . I haven't used it in awhile , so I pulled it out , and wired my D104 Silver Eagle up to it ... and first of all, it's receiving whether I have the mic hooked up to it or not . And second , in order to hear the CB , I...

    Ten Tec Triton One Question

So now I'm trying to figure out how to safely pair the power supply and the Triton One together . The 262 power supplies jack...

    A Question For All Of You Radio Techs

    This Triton 1 (510) has a 6 pin power lead on it. Do any of you know if there is anywhere that makes a ten tec styled universal 6 pin power lead that I could buy to use for running it with a regular power supply ? Or maybe I can build one myself. In the manual it says that : For AC supply...

    A Question For All Of You Radio Techs

    Thank you Shockwave. I didn't think what he was saying made much sense to me either. But I listened carefully to his instructions just in case, and I continued to run what he had said through my head . But all of my experience with radios through the years, made me keep questioning his...

    A Question For All Of You Radio Techs

    Which is exactly what I thought too . But this man was VERY adamant that when I hooked the Triton I to the 262 , I first had to make sure to internally turn it's Amps back to about 8-10 using the 207 Ammeter for monitoring the proper amperage. The Pyramid PS21KX, and an MFJ 25 amp MightyLite...

    A Question For All Of You Radio Techs

    I do have a Pyramid PS21KX that I'm not using ... which is 13.8 VDC and 18 AMP Constant/20 AMP Surge . Would it be possible to use that power supply to run the Triton I ? Because the man I bought it from was very insistent that I keep it below 18 amps ... more like around 8 - 10 amps for the radio .
