I had one of my amps blow a pair of Toshiba 2SC2879s. Sent it back to the builder and he said that the heat sink compound had completely dried up to powder. He said that he used ARTIC HEAT SINK COMPOUND when he did the update for me. Evidentally more expensive doesn't mean better. He had also...

Last night was amazing. A totally clear night at the farm, not a cloud in the sky. I snapped a picture. Reminded me of a night on I-40 in the Texas Panhandle on my way to California. J.J. 399

I bought a Cobra 139XLR new in 1978, and ran it for years.The best receive (with mods), loud clear audio, and super expandibility. Best of all, the Service manual w/ schematic made repairs and mods easy. I've always said it was the best type-accepted CB radio ever made. However, after reading...

I recently bought a RETEVIS TR635 Digital AM/FM/SW radio for use in my shop. I chose this radio because I had purchased a TR618 AM/FM/SW Analog dial radio for my son-in-law and it was great. The 635 was a total disappointment, and I posted a review on Amazon saying so. I tried to return it, but...

Someone tried to hack my WWDX account this morning, so I changed my password. Evidentally, this signed my off of the forum, and when I attempted to sign back on, the page was loaded with look-a-like WWDX sign-on pages telling me to re-register. Hacker Bullshit !! I deleted all of this crap and...

Hey Guys - I need to buy two coax switches. I want to switch between two radios and two amplifiers. So, one switch should handle 100W PEP, and the other legal limit (2KW). I have three switches (a Workman, and 2 no-names). The Workman looks cheesy inside, and the other two feel real flimsy (I...
