I recently got a small linear from a friend to use in the mobile when out on the road working. I hooked it up right after getting it and immediately noticed a problem. When trying to use it on SSB after I am done talking...I will have nothing but static in the receive....my needle is all the way...

Been looking into the whole DDRR craze for a friend whom is a trucker. He is looking for a "directional" antenna with higher gain then your standard "trucker" antenna. We have been discussing the option of DDRR but i am unable to find a schematic for 11 meter....only seeing 2 meter stuff. Anyone...

I have an old varmint vl-250 tube amp that has blown tubes. This is the style amp that just plugs into the wall and has its own supply. Ive found varying info about it but a majority of what I have read suggests tat the onboard power supply is capable of producing up to 100 amps. Im wondering if...

Today i spent several hours talking with Europe...abusing my new beam..and seemed to have put my linear above what it wanted to do. I heated it up a bit too much and smelled some smoke. There is what looks like a resistor that goes from the medium portion of the 3 position switch to the circuit...

Anybody ever had any success wiring up a Viagra B channel kit into a teaberry stalker xv radio? Ive had this radio sitting around and wanted to see if I could get extra channels out of it with this kit. Any opinions?

I have a small amp that ive been using when out at the hunting shack and firewood cutting place. I am reported to have a nice crisp clean sound on 38 when running the full 150 watts...but iof i go to channel 42 I am told I have a warble to my voice. Also, on 42 when talking I notice the relay...

I recently got an Eagle Tomahawk in the mail and the mic that came with it was a Superstar DM-342 mic. The Eagle uses a 6 pin DIN setup and the mic wasnt wired in. Im hoping to hook up my Astatic D104 Lollipop with this radio but it is a 5pin. I have looked around online but cant find anything...

I opened up my clarifier along time ago and was satisfied as it allowed me to tune people in and make sure at all times I was right on frequency. However, recently Ive been playing around on .555 alot and keep getting people asking me to go to .600 or .610 and the such. My clarifier doesnt allow...

For Sale or trade: I have 3 perfectly working oscilloscopes on my bench and willing to get rid of one of them for the right price or trade. The units are : BE Precision 2160 60mhz scope Elenco S-1345 40mhz scope Elenco S-1330 20mhz scope I know what they are worth but not what people are...

Ok so yesterday I got my new 4 element yagi beam up on my tower and mounted horizontally underneath my vertical Imax 2000. I got it tuned up great with my SWR at 1.02. Last night when Australia was coming in I was having a hard time pointing the beam at them correctly. I had a T connector on the...

Ok. So a user on this website who i will leave unnamed unless he says it is ok for me to do otherwise, was extremely generous and allowed me to use his AA-54 Antenna Tuner. Ive read complete through the manual and needless to say am a bit dumbfounded. Ive figured out the whole SWR and range...

Looking to sell ($250 )or perhaps trade this old fella for something newer in the CB category. Excellent condition and working solidly! Has been taken care of and frequently cleaned. Absolutely only blemish is a small piece of plastic missing from the bottom left corner of the Mic stand. Was...

I have my base set up for quick and easy disconnect and connect so I can use it when Im out in the truck. Problem is, I can literally watch my voltage meter swing when Im keying up and talking with the linear running. My alternator just cant handle the amperage its pulling. I have two...

For those of you who follow chat or frequent 38lsb youll already know that I am an avid skip shooter. I work from home and the radio is in front of me all day long. On really good days where skip is rolling I cant help but yell out over and over. Problem is, locally we have a very large group of...

Anyone have some good step by step instructions for building a good beam for 11 meter. I currently am running a Imax 2000 on top of a telescoping tripod tower. My plan is to build a beam and mount it horizontally underneath the Imax into a switch box so I can switch back and forth between the...

Been slowly setting up my radios on the new shelves while im remodeling the shack. Blue one is a Galaxy 959 Bottom to top on the left Cobra 29LTD Cobra 138XLR Cobra 148GTL Uniden Washington

I pulled this kit out of a non working radio today. No luck on identifying what kind of kit it is or the hookup procedure to see if it still works. Here are a couple pics showing all distinguishing marks: Top side of the two pieces. Smaller one gets soldered directly into the spot where the...

Looking to get some information on this linear. I have two of them in front of me. One of them literally caught on fire the very first time it was used. The other can only be used at literally 1 watt input into it otherwise the transistor heats up so hot you can watch the solder start to flow on...

I acquired a huge lot of radios from a school district that was completely redoing their entire communications system. About 30 of the radios have these two Transistors in them: http://prntscr.com/4kennw And I have 10 base stations that have these in them: http://prntscr.com/4keor5 I...
