My first radio that I’ve used heavily is a cobra 29 WX NW ST. The lights have never worked since I got it in 2015. Heck even the face plate is bubbling up. I still use it quite a bit. It seems like a lot of folks have this issue. I’m sure someone is going to have a great product to get these...

I’m looking for a recap kit for a radio I’ve had for a long time. I can’t seem to find a kit matching the board number. Maybe I’m searching the wrong numbers or I’m blind? Either way I’m just looking to be steered in the right direction. It is the radio I started out with so i figured it...

I have a Dosy meter that hasn’t been reliable since day one. Usually I’m running barefoot on either a uniden Grant that swings 15 watts or a Galaxy 959 that swings 20 watts. “tested on a friends meter” Once in awhile I’ll run an amp if someone is straining to hear me but, usually there’s no...

I can’t seem to find any websites that has radio parts and mods. What all is out there?

I’m working on a pc 76 still. I got rid of almost all the glue and needed to switch out a transistor. 2 of the non corroded prongs came free but the corroded one is stuck in the board. Is there a way to dissolve just a little cement glue?

Hello, I have 2 Antron 99 antennas sitting around. I’ve heard of a “Francis triple quarter waves” top section but can’t seem to find one. Do they still exist?

I have an old Philippine Uniden pc76xlw with no audio at all. I’m thinking I need to get an audio chip. I can’t tell which one it is. Anybody know which one is needed?

I have “what I think” is an American steel brand tower. I was taking it down today one of the hinge legs in the rotted off. “Things got interesting quickly on the way down”. What I have for a hinge at the bottom are 3 rods going 2 feet down in concrete that hold the hinges. I’m thinking on...

I bought an antenna earlier thinking it was a maco V58 but, I guess folks are calling it a 0-5 or something. Either way I put it on a short pole to set the SW and it seems to work well. I took it back down for weather proofing. What kind or grade of silicone should I use to keep rain out?

I found an old Kraco SSB Deluxe. Super dusty and been sitting for years in a Michigan basement. I’m Expecting the worst but, I’m picking it up because the unit just looks really cool. “It’s free” I’m just curious on the history behind this radio. I’ve never heard of Kraco before until now...

I have a connex 3300hp. Ive been told this is a “high output radio” and need a “high output amp”. I’m don’t remember the reason why but, apparently any other normal amp will not work with it. What should I look for? I don’t want anything crazy but, currently the locals can barely hear me.
