Are you checking it right after you turn it on, like after it’s been sitting in a cold truck all night. I would bring it into the house and leave it turned on for 5 or six hours and check it again. If it’s still 300hz off I would try adjusting something to put it back on frequency. Every...

I saw that earlier today lol... I bet it still sells for $300.... I can’t even imagine what it looks like on the inside.

I agree, it’s hard to buy a used Hf rig for $300 ,unless your buying it in person at a ham fest or something. And even then it’s pretty slim pickings right at $300. But once you get into the $450 price range you can buy a good used Hf rig. About 4 years ago I bought locally a yaesu 757gxii...

3mm I’m pretty sure, and I thought you threw your 148 gtl in the garbage because the vco wasn’t locking. Pm your address and I will mail you a couple of the tx/rx leds these are red/blue though

My vote is none of them, for the price of one you can buy a good used Hf rig, and have something to listen to when 10/11 meters is dead. My opinion is why spend 4 or 5 or 600 hundred dollars on a radio that only does 1 or 2 bands.

Sometime around 2006 the China front mics became even crapier, that’s when they switched to different audio chip that you can’t find anymore, so if the audio chip burns up the radio is junk.

Do it,do it, do it

It was still worth money lol. Edit: and it was from eBay, so it was probably at least 200 dollars shipped, I hope you didn’t really throw it away, and are just frustrated. What will you do if the next 148 gtl you buy has a problem with it? I’m not trying to be rude at all, but just about every...

I bought a president Maryland antenna, it says made in Spain on the packaging. Im not 100% sure, but I think all of the President mobile antennas are at least made in Europe, which is better than China. Once I get it installed I will give a little update.

welcome, you could always just buy a used mobile ssb radio and run it off a power supply to start out with, if you don't want to spend a ton of money right off the bat. when the band is open you don't really need an amp. I would try making contacts with 12 watts first, and see what happens...

I had a 2014 uniden 980, it was only doing 6 watts on side band, when I turned it up to 12 watts the back of the radio would get hot, so I set it at 10 watts, and then I gave it to a friend, who didn’t own a Ssb cb radio, A little while back I bought a brand new, uniden 980 made in 2019, it’s...

Keep in mind, there is two different versions of the uniden 980. The first version was made from about 2011 or 2012 to about 2014ish, the second version from about 2015 ish to present. So depending on the year your radio was made, the boards maybe labeled differently.

Your right, I think I should use one that has the lug mounts. I want to be able to put my headliner back up, I don’t think an so239 with a 90 will clear.

I’m getting overwhelmed trying to pick out a mount to put on my roof there is so many to choose from. I’m looking at everything from Breedlove to mfj. https://mfjenterprises.com/products/mfj-343

Small update- I bought a president Maryland antenna. Now I just need to get a mount.

I’m not sure if these pics are good enough to help you or not, when I get some more time I can try and take some better ones

Can you post some pictures? I have an unmodified 1983ish 2000 gtl that I can post some pictures of.

Yes, This is what I found,I’m pretty shure it’s an hr2510 bracket. I can’t even remember where I got it from.

I just got my new maco v58 in the mail today that I ordered from coppers.

That’s the way I put my old uniden 8719 chassis radios on frequency. And it works good enough. If I get an old radio that the clarifier is still Unmodified,I like to leave it that way. I have yet to buy an old radio, that I didn’t have to tweak the clarifier a lil bit on, I’m by no means an...
