Hey Derek. This is Old Trapper 1279. I forgot I joined this club as Matt Dillon. That was my handle in the 70's when I was a cop.

Thank you. This will get me started. 73 from The Old trapper

Surely somebody has figured out how to hook up a Behringer equalizer to an old Yaesu - like 101 or 301. Anybody out there wanna help a beginner?

Can anyone recommend a place to send my 301 for repair?:confused:

If you have room, you can put up a G5RV (or similar) wire antenna for a small investment. <$100. Having been there done that, I'd recommend saving a little more money and getting a solid state easy to use radio to start. I got burned real bad buying radios that are complicated to operate and not...

Can anyone here recommend a good repair place for an FT-301? I don't think it has too many problems. It just seems off frequency and can use a good tune up. It hasn't been on the air for many years. Thanks WA7TGT tt.thetrapper@gmail.com

I recently became a General" hamster and now I have the common tinkeritis that comes with it. Apparently Heil used to have a kit available to convert a D-104 to the famous Heil sound. I have an Icom IC-718 and I want to run the beautiful D-104 on it, but I also want to have it sound the best it...

I need wiring instructions for a D104 to a Yaesu FT 301. I also wonder how a 10DA head will work on this rig. Thanks in advance

I acquired an SWR/Power/Tuner recently. I can't find any manuals or instructions on how to use the tuner. I know how to check SWR and Power. It is a Barjan 300-PDC5. Astatic made a PDC5 and the Truckers Series RPSWR-4 all appear to be the same. Can anyone tell me how to use the antenna tuner...

I have lost output power on my base and suspect the finals. Anybody have information on replacing these? How about available upgrades?

Thanks for the help

I scored an old Skipper 300 last week. It seems to work just fine except when I first powered it up the fan was very hard to turn and wouldn't run on it's own. I spun it by hand for a few minutes and it finally started working. Is there any way to lube the fan shaft or am I better off to just...

10 DA I got an element from RBMicro.com. I had to bypass the coil that was embedded in the back of the 10DA head and wired the RBMicro element directly to the amplified base. I have asked for several operators opinions and the RBMicro element has the best quality modulation of all the mics I...

I bought a D104 un-amplified G stand mic on ebay. It has a 3 conductor cord: Red, Black, Shield. When I took off the bottom plate, some of the wires were un-soldered. I want to wire this for a Yaesu 101EE. I have heard that radio does better without an amplified mic. Can anyone help me with...

A friend knows a friend who has an amp in his truck that is sooooo powerful that if he turns it on high, all the radios in a 5 mile radius burn up. hahahaha LOL!

10 DA I tried to rewire the mic and the tiny copper wires coming from the mic element have been ruined. I guess I'll have to chuck it and try to find another element or another complete head. I know - lots-a-luck there, huh?

I need a mic element for an Astatic 10 DA head. (The small around one). I have the head but the element was ruined by somebody trying to modify it. You can email me direct at: tt.thetrapper@gmail.com
