Exactly.

I have a friend who lives a few miles away and he had his Shack completely grounded as per the ARRL handbook. His system took a direct hit ruined 2 radios. Basically welded the two coax connectors onto the backs of the radios. Evaporated the antenna that took the hit. There are photos all over...

I have used an Antron 99. The actual original Antron 99 since the 80s. Same one. I talked to Japan, Australia, South America, Europe, Etc. From the Mojave Desert. Any antenna out there that is so-called better than this Antron 99 is not that much better. If I paid $200 more for another antenna...

Here's what I do currently (pun intended). I only had two lightning arrestors on hand, and didn't have the cash to buy a bunch more. So only the top two have lightning arrestors on them because they're my most expensive radios. I'm in a low lightning area. Between 5 to10 events a year. So I...

Poked around on here today. This is an amazing library of info!

I still haven't got back to my Turner sidekick 100. I've been working on other things. As soon as I know if that mic elements any good or not I'll let you know.

I use the same Harbor Freight stuff. It works great!8

I would take the knobs off and clean up the faceplate and Purdy the whole thing up again. Very nice score! Love that eagle too!

Yeah. They're not really worth that kind of work. Unless I really like them and I'm keeping them myself.

This is sold guys.

Well. So far the microphone is a little bit of a problem. Channel up and down buttons only work intermittently with a lot of pressing involved. Also so far, no sound from speaker or external speaker that I plugged in. A little bit of scratch in there though so I'm hopeful on that. Took the mic...

Only if it doesn't function. Still haven't tested this thing out. I just got the power connector soldered in. I can't solder a 12 pin plug anyway. I don't think the owner wants to go that far either.

So far I'm just putting a power connector in this radio and then testing it. This is just something I noticed. If this microphone ever goes bad the owner is screwed! You can't change the channel, the volume, or the squelch on this thing without the microphone. But they put a knob on the front...

Nice! Let us know when you install it. I'm interested in how it works.

President Regency 400 radio. Galaxy 200 amp. Started on a Turner Sidekick 100. It's been sidelined for now though until I get some parts money, and get the refrigerator fixed. My Mom's doorbell. A pinwheel windvane in her garden (JB Weld). Getting ready to start on an RCA Co-Pilot 14T-305 radio...

It will be a couple weeks still. I also have to get a cable made first to go to an RJ45 plug. Someone just dropped off an RCA 40 channel radio yesterday I have to repair as well before I get back to the Turner. I'll keep updating though and let you know. I'm probably going to start a new thread...

Okay. Having spoke with Icom service department back and forth a few times including making a audio recording of the sound coming from the radio that the microphone switch makes, he asked me to send it in along with the radio. Because they could not duplicate the problem at the lab. They used...

Here's the info post I put on the wrong thread hopefully it will transfer to here. Okay. Here's some Hardware info.. the screw that holds the mic element housing together is 5/32 8-32 thread by 1 inch. I'm replacing mine cuz the drill bit hit it. I didn't realize the disc was so thin and easy to...

I will keep that info for now in case I need to come back and test it myself. For now I'm chatting with Icom. We'll see what they've got to say first.

Not the vox. Checked all settings, multiple times. Not a problem in the radio. Multiple microphones work perfectly well on this radio.
