Hi! Does anybody know what kind of power connector is used on this radio? It looks like it could be a Molex but I'm not sure. 73,

I continue going through this neglected radio and I think I have got most of the gremlins exorcised except SSB power. Receive seems fine so I left the synthesizer alignments alone and I went through the transmitter alignments and have about 2.5W dead-key and 5-5.5 W modulated. I have set the...

Howdy, y'all! Just picked up the above radio with a few problems. It was totally dead when received and I found two exploded diodes on the PS board along with a 25A line fuse!! :oops: After replacing the diodes everything seemed fine until I keyed the mic and ka-boom, diodes fragged again...

I decided it would be a good idea to pull down my collection of radios, dust them off, test, and pack in big zip-lock bags with a couple of desiccant packets. Maybe I should have left well enough alone as about half of them have developed "issues" while being on the shelf for a few years...

After my successes with adding a VFO to my pair of Midland 13-898Bs I pulled my old Pace Sidetalk off the shelf and started messing with it. Here are some observations: 1. The VFO can be added using the same method as for the Midland. 2. The "standard" sine wave output (1V PP)from the DDS...

Hopefully somebody can help me with this or tell me it just needs to go into the scrap bin! I picked this up a couple of years ago and stuffed it into the "someday" pile. The someday pile is nearing the end so I pulled it out the other day and started messing with it. Lights work, slight...

I'm a sucker for vintage radios but they often come with "issues." I received a "new" FleaBay 898B today that the listing said will not power on, I figured it wouldn't be a big job. Got that part fixed which was the fuse on the PS board probably popped because electrical tape on connections to...

I have a nice Midland 13-898B and the only thing wrong with it (besides FUBAR clock) is it's 23 channel. I decided it would be nice to have all 40 channels+ so I dug out a DDS VFO I built a few years back for a different project and decided to give it a go. It was pretty straightforward once I...

Hi, y'all! I have gotten one of these radios that has an 11 pin round plug instead of a 6 position Jones plug. None of the manuals I have show a version with round plug and I am having some issues figuring out how to wire it as the schematics don't match 100%. Does anybody have a schematic...

Hi, Y'all! I have a Lafayette he-43C inbound and I really can't find much on the web about it. Was this an export model made for a specific market? I bought it because it's a somewhat unusual design (crystal transmit and a Rx VFO) and it looks cool! 73, Justin B.
