Hey thanks guys It occurred to me maybe I didn't even need an antenna on the transmitter idk maybe just the BNC would have worked. Hi Mr Shadetree! At first I was gonna reply yes sir I did use my AF frequency generator for the external I made a video of it Also the internal modulation was...

I have two old CB radios I am working on and there is little traffic (or they don't work too good) I recently obtained a Dynascan BK 2005 and had an idea maybe I can attach an antenna to the output and see if one of these radios can find it I'm happy to report that it worked good :giggle...

Hey guys how's it going Being a noob I still forget things and I remembered today WHY DONT YOU TRY IT ON THE EXTERNAL DC POWER......DUMMY :ROFLMAO: So I did. I was a bit befuddled by a single blade sticking out the back. Oh well onward through the fog aye matey :LOL: So incredibly I...

Yes sir thanks I appreciate the shout out but I'm not sure it's up and working :p :coffee: Right now I need to get my Johnson Mouse-enger 250 up and running so I can have a way to test them (see if they can communicate with each other) because there is NO chatter locally (or there is and I'm...

Or.....a fool and his money part 73,294,720,947,263 Unpacked it and tried it out So let's see 1,983.2 khz equals about 2 Mhz ? A sigh of relief I guess it works :LOL: :ROFLMAO: Time to do some homework and RTM before I blow it up. Hey yeah this collector of Q302 should have...

Hello gentlemen and ladies hope you are having a wonderful evening. :giggle: Being an (OLD) noob I wanted to get a signal generator that presumably (sorry still learning) would modulate rf with af. I already had this af unit and it has been rock solid However delving into the realm of rf...

Yes sir thanks wow that is very generous of you i definitely appreciate it However I went ahead and ordered one from eBay it's otw seems like certain issues tend to be a little scarce. I think I know the answer to this question but I'll go ahead and ask ....I guess I can forget about finding...

Whoops sorry I guess it does power on The lamp above the meter does illuminate just barely discernable Hope is growing :coffee::giggle:

Hello everyone hope things are going well I thought I would see if you guys thought I could get this Johnson Messenger 250 going. Fortunately most of the damage seems to be on the top of the case it's a shame this seems like good stuff because this sucker is heavy and I have the mic for it...

Yes sir thanks I have read a ton of your posts and know that you are one (of many) HEAVY HITTERS here. I think now maybe since there's not much local traffic I need to get another radio and put it in my old bronco or something and see if they can communicate with each other kinda like what I...
