Google Vanco LC6X to find this cord. I've been searching too & I found them.

Got it fixed. Turns out C89 a 0.01 uf film capacitor was shorting out TR32. There was a dead shot across this transistor & when I removed C89 the short stopped. I replaced C89 with a new capacitor & the ALC now work. Thanks for all the help guys.

Hey. Gang...

Update & good news guys. It turns out I had a few bad solder joints & had to scrape off this thin plastic coating that is on the ribbon cable for the channel selector. After exposing more copper trace I got solder contact & the radio lives. :)

Hey: Gang. I'm in search of a complete ribbon cable with channel selector switch / led channel display for a Realistic TRC-458 base station. I was having issues with the channel selector being worn & not staying on channel. I tried to use contact cleaner & get it inside the switch but the...

That's awesome. I had the Super big stick 18' long. I believe the Big stick is 16' long. Great antenna though.

If you look up A99 exposed, there's a guy who took an A99 apart & there is just a copper wire in the middle & top section. The bottom section contains a capacitor, two coils & then just wire to it's top.

Ok guys. I bought 2 NIB bottom A99 sections from an electronics clearence place, there were no middle or top sections. So I decided to make my own middle & top section out of aluminum tubing. I had a broken Imax 2000 & removed all the chromed parts so I had parts to attach the middle & top...

Same power before & after all electrolytic caps, now driver & new final, plus new relay. Turns out someone had their golden screwdriver inside & mistuned the tx rf variable inductors before the pre driver stage. Got it back to 4 / 12 watts now. Thanks to everyone for their time & input.

Hey: Guys. Got it fixed. This radio looked virgin inside as all the wax was still in the pots & there were no mods but it turns out someone monkeyed with the transmit alignment pots in the section before the pre driver. Got it working correctly now. Thanks for all the help guys.

Did all listed in the tech updates, no difference. 1w on AM & 3w on SSB. :(

Hey: Gang. I'm really stuped with this Cobra 139xrl I'm working on. I recapped the entire radio including the tantalum & electrolytic capacitors. I also replaced the four 2sc1419 regulators with new ones. The radio will only put out 1 w on AM & 3 w on SSB. I replaced the 2sc1306 driver &...

Anyone know where to get or view a copy of the service manual for the older version Uniden 980SSB ? I have one I'm working on that someone butchered. They tried to do a clarifier mod & I suspect they did it wrong. I put everything back to where it should be using another 980ssb as a reference...

Thanks. I will try those.

Hey: Guys. I just picked up a used in mint condition Galaxy DX-979. I notice the receive audio on these radios is too high piched, is there a capacitor on the board I can change the value of to make it sound more like a Cobra 148-GTL ? I have see mods for wiring a capacitor from the center...

Thanks Andy. I really appreciate your time.

Thanks. I was just thinking that there has to be an easy way to keep the swing exactly the same both ways. I know there is 8v on receive at the clarifier & not when transmitting so is there a way to just supply 8v to the clarifier pot all the time without clipping out parts ? I figured there...

To center the clarifier once the " open clarifier mod is done " So I will have even slide to the + and - All the info I have read says that once the mod is done you get 3k down & 1k up. I just want the clarifier to track even both ways even if it's the same amount of slide as when the...

Ok, but that does not answer my question in that I'm not trying to get more slide, when the clarifier is closed I believe it slides 1.5k each way on receive. All I'm trying to do is with the clarifier opened is to also get 1.5k slide per side rather than 3k down & 1k up. The only reason I even...
