I spent 18 years laughing at the unknowing cb operators who brought their radios in to kens to be fixed only to get them back with all the mods taped to the lid and the radio set to 4 watts dk, 12 watts pep. I remember seeing radios with extra channel crystal kits taped to lids waiting to be...

No problem. I keep stuff around just in case. I don't mind helping as many here have helped me and are helping with getting my gear repaired and up to snuff. I got your pm and Ill try to get it in the mail this week if not Monday for sure.

I wont be stymied. The mrf455 is a direct replacement for the rf parts srf 2072 https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/old-mc-250-texas-star.249951/ I have a silver streak 150 with a pair of mrf455's ill donate to the cause. The amp works as it should or it did when i put it up so he can use it as...

Yep Ken is still there. I think he owns both blocks now. I was afraid to ask about his wife. I think she was from the Philippines. Very nice lady. I lived a stones throw from the Kalamazoo county fair grounds and Kens is right across the street. Kens had stuff no one else had. Hes a great tech...

Is his dx250 repairable? I have some used toshiba 2290's. If all it did was fry the pills i can help with that.

One store i miss is being near is Kens Electronics in Kalamazoo Michigan. If you needed it Ken had it or he would get it for you fast. I believe hes been in that location for close to 50 years. http://www.kenselectronics.com/index.html Ken is a great guy but a little quirky. Hes a very slow and...

Im certainly not a fan of the thin cords but its not too tough to pull the plug and build up the cord diameter. I don't understand why one would make a cord that doesn't fit the connectors.

I think the weak link isnt so much the output watts being too high. My toshiba 4 pill with 100 watts peak drive makes 1k peak and the 16 2k with that same 100 watts in. That 32 driven right should make 4k with out a struggle. I think the issue is trying to match 32 "meh" quality transistors or...

Never mind, I figured it out. The cord diameter is much smaller than the plug end that is supposed to squeeze and keep the cord from pulling on the wires. I found building up the cord with shrink tube so the cord wasnt allowed to just flop around has solved the problem.

I keep waiting for you to feature my 2995 in a "perfect example of" post. This title made me nervous, i wont lie...

Looks like the Workman 3AP 16g cord has the 2 piece plug that im looking for. All the others are a molded one piece design. Id like to make a few more of these if i can find the plugs cheap enough.

I had jolly roger in the uk callkng cq on ch19 this morning...

I answer them but don't ask for them, no need. If my meter is moving its working.

Im using it on my 955.

Went from dropping 1.6 volts to .3 volts. The tough part was finding the right plug to modify. It has to be a 2 piece that uses screws. I soldered the pins directly into the 8 gauge wire then filed the plug end until i could get the pins in the plug. A little shrink tube and it was done. I...

He tried to keep delaying my build years ago for bullshit reasons like he was waiting on parts he told me months before he was ordering that week and crap like that. I finally filed a case with Visa and got my money back. Haven't had much good to say about him since.

Yeah i do more buying than selling. Hi my name is John M and im a radio equipment hoarder lmao!

Lol, my experience with the 300a goes back only 30 years, older man, hehehe...
