Hi Gang, I have searched WWDX and cannot seem to find the answer to this. I have on the bench a DX 400V with all 4 button bulbs blown. I will say that in my opinion its due to the amp being powered with too much vdc but operators will do what they want. I've experienced that LED's do not last...

Can you elaborate on the AT models if you have any experience with them? Like, the 5555 Plus vs the 5555N2? Or the Q6 vs the Q6 Pro? What really changed? On the Q5 Plus I like the extra digit that shows the 10th Hz on the frequency display vs the 6 digit display on the N2. That's just a...

Ok Men, Lets keep the responses specifically to the question in hand regarding the best receive. There are some interesting points about the "export" radios and the fact that most do not seem to have great receivers especially in comparison to radios built 40-50 years ago. It's also an...

The owner has someone helping him out this time. Hopefully he is able to move his collection on....

Hi Everyone, So in my continuing discovery of interesting things with the 2950DX 6 one of the variable inductors does not have any affect on the TX alignment results. I am drawing from the 2950 DX/CD alignment guide for this. The instructions say to put the radio in AM, TX with no modulation...

One other helpful thing here. I created a board layout for alignments. I still do not have the guide but I am drawing from some other docs. See the attached for your use.

Are those receive mods the ones you reference in your 858 doocument?

If anyone keeps track (I actually hope you do not) I've been asking a lot of RCI/Galaxy radio questions recently. I am finding that my local radio community mainly uses these radios and they keep getting more of them. While I do not talk on air very often due to the lack of free time I did...

I do occasionally look through E-Bay or Marketplace mainly just to see whats out there. I had to smile when a local to me listing came up as I've never seen anything like it before. To be clear, this is a real listing and they are serious about the price...

I still would love to have the schematic for this board as it is similar to some boards but different than others. Also, the alignment guide would be amazing to take some of the mystery out!!! Here is what I did for the driver/final bias alignment. I removed the jumper TP and put my mA...

Hi There, First of all, I pray that your recovery goes very well and you are back on your feet soon!! Regarding TR14, VR5 (Modulation adjustment) ties directly into the base of TR14 and onto 1 leg of R85. I would assume that TR14 is right next to VR5. If this were a newer multi-layer circuit...

Let's look at this from any manufacture’s perspective. Back in the day most people on CB frequencies used, well......CB's. Today, at least in my area, most people on CB frequencies use exports OR HF rigs like the Icom, Yaesu or Kenwood’s. It's a strange thing if you think about it. A majority of...

Hey Everyone, I need to align this DX-6 and while most of it is similar to other RCI radios the transmit section is a little different. There is no shorting board and there is only a jumper to align the finals. There is no jumper for the drivers but there is a spot on the board near the...

Thx SuperLid!! Regarding the 8 ohm load, I made a breakout box with an 8 ohm 25 watt resistor. I use a cable with an 1/8" mono jack on each end, plug one end into the ext spkr jack on the radio and the other into the breakout box. The sinadder leads connect onto jacks on the breakout box...

Hi Pez, I did watch his video. He is VERY good at explaining things and seems like a good guy!!! When I used my meter, this is the scenario. I was aligning a mint Cobra 29 XLR that is100% stock except for a re-cap. The alignment guide states to hook a VTVM to the speaker and make your...

Good Day Everyone, So, I have now a Sinadder 3 that was calibrated in 2020. I have a few questions on aligning a receiver with it. I understand the fundamental operations of sending a 1KHz tone through the receiver and the notch filter is allowing that signal through "listening for" or measuring...

Just a note on the D62. It's a tricky one to align for sure!! Read through this https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/cobra-132xlr-frequency-alignment-challenge.268845/post-845887 .

Just out of curiosity, what amp fuse are ou putting inline?

Thanks so much men!! Theboard in this radio is a 295016A. Q67 is in a diferent location but I assume the process is still the same. Oh, and do either of you have a guess as to what the final FET part number is in this radio? Thanks again!

Happy Holidays Bayou!! Sorry for the delay as I was out of town for a bit. So I just sat at the bench and did the test as you suggested and I get 12.5 at the base and 12.6 at the Emitter with 3 volts at TP8 and at the collector. I am assuming that Q67 may be bad? Also, I see Q67 as a 2SB798...
