This is a Stock Photo of the board so don't be alarmed about the absence of pills

Thanks !! Was researching and the info I looked at seemed confusing. No 5W 150's Metal Oxide on hand. Have a 5 pack ordered

Hey Nomad, took another closer look and damn if one of the 5W resistors next to the pill sets isn't blown. Doesn't test in-circuit but middle band is faded out, bulged in the middle a bit and can see a crack. Should be same as opposite resistor which looks perfect - and is brown-green-brown...

Thanks for those tips Nomad ! Will definitely check. On first look didn't see anything burned or amiss.

Yes. If say the AM Regulator is bad - that's in the radio section, which is a 2950. However, it comes power-tuned to run the amp rather than as a stand alone 2950. So I also don't know what the factory settings are on it as is - to tell whether or not I'm seeing correct readings. I've had one of...

Hi guys, Could use some pointers. Rig uses 4 pills, likely 2290 equivalents. Examined RF Deck. Heated rig up with 50W keydown. All 4 pills heating up about the same checked with infrared thermometer. Normal: AM will key 150W swing to 400. SSB/400 (did not run wide open ever - usually key at 80...

I wish they would go after the "Bowlers" who run 5, 10k + watts who have too much money and large trucks with tiny wieners

Better Bet is an Icom 2730 dual band mobile. True 50W both VHF & UHF. TX's to 470 for GMRS. RX 118-174, 375-550, TX after easy Mod 136-174, 400-470. $300

I have bought the covers and L.E.D. replacement lamps on eBay ..... looked and worked fine.

Likely because the tech evolved to pretty much accomplish the same sound without using an expensive add-on board.

Fascinating Thread

It's a great 100W SSB radio for the money - but if you need good loud blasting AM as well ..... ya gotta pick something else.

CANCEL. Could not find a used one for sale - Bought New

I myself am not familiar with the UV-5K's (with the hidden menu) as coming in a Baofeng. I have a UV-5K (which has been widely reviewed here) - and it is a Quansheng.

Naw, one of these. They are still made. The one you're referring to and the Sadelta's are good but getting old and people usually want too much for them.

Anybody have one of these or similar you're not using and want to sell?

Have new setup here. Different radio for more power - Untimely demise of antenna due to water incursion and corrosion in the guts so new antenna as well. Everything seemed basically okay but experienced a bit higher SWR in places and varying power levels than expected. Was fixed with the last...

So after 5 years of being beaten around by storms etc ..... my Sigma Venom from the guys in England developed an SWR. Limping along with it for now until replacement arrives as I have a tuner which is making the match fine and protecting the radio. Happy with the Venom otherwise so I was going...
