    Hi everyone , I've been looking at the Browning Golden Eagle Mark III , IV , and V radios for many years . I always wanted one of them , but never jumped at the chance to grab one ... partially because I like to know that if I'm spending a lot of money on a radio , that it...

    Cobra 2000 GTL Mic Gain Issues

    Noise Interference 40 meters - 2 Meters

    I can "Try" recording it , and posting it . It's nothing like street lights , or transformers . This starts every morning at the exact same time (8:30 am) , and ends every night at the exact same time (7:45 pm) . Which rules out street lights . It's timing is so precise that you can literally...

    Noise Interference 40 meters - 2 Meters

    The FCC sent me a reply to my 1st report on the interference saying thanks but no thanks . So I submitted a 2nd report informing them that I'm a Ham operator . What the noise level is at , and that if there were any emergency traffic , this level of interference would make it impossible to...

    Noise Interference 40 meters - 2 Meters

The SB-102 has had some updating done to it on the inside ... but not everything has been updated . I've talked about this...

    Heathkit HP-23a power supply and the SB-102

    That's how it says in the Astatic wiring book to wire that mic up to the Collins and the Drake , so that's how I wired it up ... and it didn't work .

    Heathkit HP-23a power supply and the SB-102

    Number 5 wouldn't be an issue if one of the wires had shielding ... but none of them had any . I wired it all up and left pins 5 , 8 , and 11 a no connect . There were 11 pins and 8 wires in the cord that came with it , and none of them were shielded . So I figured that was the only possible...

    Heathkit HP-23a power supply and the SB-102

    So I bought an SB-102 , which didn't come with an HP-23 power supply , or their connecting cord . I ordered an HP-23B power supply , and I also ordered the 11 pin connecting cord separately , because the power supply also didn't have the cord with it either . Now the cord shows up unassembled ...

    Heathkit SB-102 Question

    I was afraid of that ... I mean , I was hoping it might be possible ... but I figured it probably needed to use that power supply . It's pretty obvious that I purchased an expensive paper weight/dust collector . That's all it's going to be for quite awhile . Because the only place I've found the...

    Heathkit SB-102 Question

    I just bought a nice Heathkit SB-102 , and I can't wait to use it . But , at the moment it doesn't have a power supply with it , I do plan on finding the matching power supply/speaker for it . But in the mean time , is it possible to run this radio using a regular power supply ? If so ...
