    Sears SSB Power Connector

    Yep, I had 1 AC cord for one of the radios, and the second I added wires internally for one, and then used some butt connectors to the external plug for the other. Works OK, just looks a little funny.

    Sears SSB Power Connector

    I think the mobile/base had 2 different cords, if that's what you're referring to, one for 12V DC and one for 120V AC...like the JC Penny radios. Hard to find.

    unidentified module

    Thanks. I have 2 6241'a, they are both working so I don't think it came out of those if it is a 6241 module. I will open one up and have a look.

    unidentified module

    Found this in my parts selection. I don't know if it's a specific radio part or an aftermarket item. Almost looks like some sort of channel board, but I'm just guessing. I have no information or paperwork I can find.

    Big switching power supplies - what's the forum favorite?

    I've a PYLE 60/65 psl642x and I've never had an issue. I also have some Astrons RS-60 and Tripp-lite pr-60. Never had an issue with any of them, and I have some smaller version of both brands...big, heavy, and reliable.

    On another note, what settings on a Tektronic 2235 would it be set at to read the audio. I do have a RF sensor I built, but not to sure where I need to set it to get the correct looking wave form. Thanks This is the waveform I'm getting, with audio. Didn't hookup my tone generator, just...

    Cobra 25LTD Classic

    I got the radio back. I had to replace the protection diode as my nephew put a square peg in a round hole and put the cord into the back of the radio just enough to short it out. Removed the C91 and replaced with a new one just out of caution, and I have some extra. Reading on my T7 do...

    Cobra 25LTD Classic

    Isn't this cap already kinda running reverse polarity as the positive lead is to ground? Or am I missing something.
