    Scary Anomaly

    I have a video I made last Tuesday so my buddies could hear the noise. Please excuse the pieces of language in here. This wasn't really meant to be posted here, but I want everyone to hear the hash, not pulses. The guy talking is usually perfectly clear and cuts right over the noise. He's about...

    Scary Anomaly

    I haven't done the power cut in the house yet because I'm not getting the 60hz noise. If it is a power issue it has to be a very high frequency because the noise is like white noise, or pink noise, etc. It's hash that you would hear on any given noisy day on radio. I've had quite a few...

    Scary Anomaly

    Yeah, neighbors are close but using the handheld they don't make any more noise than I've got at home. It's hard to pinpoint if I hold the handheld up vertically, but held on the flat side I can point right at different items and they all make noise.

    Scary Anomaly

    I did it around my house and I've got noise everywhere. Pointing at the furnace makes noise, pointing at the TV makes noise, pointing at the breaker panel makes noise, there's just no end. There's no way to pinpoint the exactly what it is.

    Scary Anomaly

    This is downright ugly. I've always had noise in my radio, usually about 3 to 4S units that I had to deal with. Even when everyone says they're dead silent, mine has noise. I've learned to live with it. A few days ago my radio actually went nearly silent with everyone elses. Hard for me to...

    So catch me up. What is going on with the CB and Export radio market?

    COVID?? Don't know what you mean. Seems to me most current editions are stocked most places.

    ISO Antenna tuner

    I'm searching for a legal limit antenna tuner and switch. Don't care about cosmetics cuz the budget is low. As long as it works as intended and can handle 500+ watts. PM me please.

    Cobra 142 GTL Extra Channels

    I'll have to have him open it up and send some pics. I have no idea what he has and he's like 90 miles away.

    Cobra 142 GTL Extra Channels

    Yeah, kina what I was thinking when I saw two switches. I have seen kits installed that used one switch, and even three switches, but have read about the custom use of the two switch method. I'm just going to suggest that he get a counter and map it all out. Thanx!!

    Cobra 142 GTL Extra Channels

    I know. I didn't get the pics from him yet. I told him to follow the wires and give me good pics

    Cobra 142 GTL Extra Channels

    A buddy and new guy to CB just bought a huge lot of radios and amps, and noticed two switches on the back of his 142 GTL. He says he knows it changes frequency, but the original owner can't find the channel sheet. Were there more than one of these kits, and if so, were they different...

    RIP All Electronics and Marlin P Jones, MPJA

    This makes me sad. I've used All Electronics for decades. Excellent people with fantastic pricing and the service w3as second to none.

    Toroid or bead ferrite which to use?

    I've always had excellent results using a small length of 4" sched 40 plastic sewer line with 6 wraps of coax held in place by zipties. Worked perfect every time for me.

    Gatekeeper

    Strange. I've ordered a few times and received good quick response and some very god advice from him. Super nice guy. Something must have happened.

    This store is So Cool.

    This was back in about 68 or 69 so I'm sure any surviving merch is long gone. But someone did open the store and have a few years of a Felton's fire sale going.

    Yaesu FT-757GX (mk1) TSB?

    I had one of these way back mid 90s that would do something very strange. Never figured it out before I sold it. Had one that if I turned RF gain down, it would turn down the RF power at the same time. Weird.

    Yaesu FT-757GX (mk1) TSB?

    Also, they use a little bulb on the board as a fuse for the receiver. Have no idea of the logic behind this, but it may not be a bad idea to replace the bulb or your receive may go out.

    Yaesu FT-757GX (mk1) TSB?

    I didn;t read the tech manual above or watch the vid, but I've owned about 10 of these and the best upgrade you can make on these is to remove that soldered in battery and extend it with wire and use a replaceable 2032 covered in shrink tube. Also, there's a heat sensor used to to turn the fan...

    Gatekeeper

    Was looking for the variable caps on the older ones for the input and output Tunes. It's not that big of a deal, really, it's just something my buddy had laying around Betty blew up, but we came across a couple of good output transistors so we figured we play around to see if we can get it working.

    Para dynamics PDC4-DX

    I know this is an ancient thread, but does anyone have any idea the power handling capability of this switch? I have one, but I can't find any of my documentation for it.
