    Midland 77-861 power output lower on battery, Mod to high?

    Yes, the lower output would be because of lower voltage, and honestly no-ones going to notice the difference between 3 Watts and 4 Watts. I wouldn't bother trying to up it. Much more gain to be had playing with antennas (pardon the pun).

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I've given up on 11m, and all HF as well. Constant S9 plus noise, tried killing main breaker to house and rig off a SLA battery, no reduction. Horizontal longwire marginally better, but still unusable. Loosening of imported goods emissions standards to blame.

    What electronics have YOU fixed lately?

    Not a repair, but a rescue. School I work at was throwing out heaps of stuff, no real hands on any more, all online experiments. Couldn't stand to see this from the 50's scrapped. Phone for scale .

    Base station scanner antenna

    Back in my Scanner days, before everything down here went encrypted digital, I had a Diamond discone. Wideband design. But I was listening all over the spectrum. But if you are interested in one particular frequency like 155 MHz, I'd go for an antenna cut to that frequency. A 2m or marine band...

    Dusting off a Sweet Sixteen, everything look ok?

    The brown disc things with one wire looks like a self resetting thermal fuse. And yes the second tab should go somewhere. I'm pretty sure the base metal disc is isolated electrically. The other guys are right, some of the components look a little toasted.
