I LUV NY. If you can't find it there it doesn't exist. This guys got some reputation. Does he actually do mods and repairs? If so are they really done out of a van?

I hear quite a few stations on Channel 28 AM with setups that sound like they're operating an AM radio station. Many are aloof when asked what they're running and others are straight up. There's so many different descriptions of what they're using I was just wondering if somebody can simplify it...

https://plus.google.com It wasn't the pl 259 at the end of my LMR 400. The double male connector that attaches my mfjj 915 RF choke to the antenna was one turn loose. I'm assuming that one turn left the center pin not making good contact with the antennas PL 239. I think it was like that for...

Between the choke and antenna I went with a double ended conetor (no coax) so I'm gonna replace the pl 259 at the coax antenna connection. The coax is lmr 400. Not the ultra flex. The coax is quite heavy and, maybe the heavy wind and weight of the coax itself looosened the 259. That would...

Signals also drop then jump back up to where they should be. This happens ever few seconds in adverse weather.

The last couple of weeks I've noticed the receive on my Uniden Madison acting peculiar. It's fine for one moment then it makes a kind of swishing sound as the needle on the meter drops down around 2 s units and as a result the receive gets quiet. I noticed this happens when it's windy outside...

I'm a bit redicent paying with a money order. Will you except PayPal? Let me know. I'm interested. Thanks.

After a year of making dx contacts and the twice a week local rag chew, I find myself enjoying listening more then communicating. I use a uniden Madison on SSB and an fs 2340 on AM. The Sonar actually recives very nice for a CB radio. The Madison also receives nicely but not as good as the fs...

Excellent looking 830s. Good luck and enjoy. I'm sure you will.

Beautiful sounding receive. Thanks for the clip.

My (uniden) Washington and Madison both make that poping sound when changing channels and mode. It comes through the speaker. I don't think this is an issue. I think it's the way these rigs operate. I could be wrong. I'm hoping others weigh in as I'm curious if that happens to all the madisons...

Do all amateur amplifiers have a band selector switch? although I've only seen mono band amplifiers made for VHF/2 meters and such I thought there might be or have Ben mono band HFand or UHF amplifiers. Just curious. 73

Bicycle Barney. He would hang out on channel 15 AM. He would get more erratic as time went on and the beer cans piled up. He and Arttie Windjammer would go at it hours at a time. Brooklyn New York 1970s

Thanks for sharing, KM. Great video and an excellent mod.

I've never heard or talked on the Madison with the 858 but my uniden 8719 i I've never heard or talked on the Madison with the 858 in it, but I can say that my uniden Madison 8719 hears very nicely for a stock CB radid(AM/SSB). When I say stock the audio and receive sections have never been...

Robb. I was having issues with rf getting into the shack, with my imax 2000. I was gonna make an air wound choke but every one was giving me different turn amounts and different diameters. I purchased an MFJ 915 rf choke and problem solved. I know MFJ gets a bad rap and we'll deserved...

Purchased an 11 meter dipole off an eBay seller. It was my first antenna and with the help of wwsx members installed it , and it worked like a charm. I couldn't give you the sellers name but he's the only dipole maker/seller on eBay that makes one for ever band. His photos show each one he sells...

I agree. I just thought it was interesting to see how GE designed and produced this rig as they went along. The early ones obviously had bugs that needed to be worked out. I guess what's rare about it is that instead of scrapping it GE decided to do the repairs needed and got it back to the...

I agree Robb. I've never liked them myself, but so many do. They sell quick on eBay and usually for big money. Probably for nostalgic reasons. They made and sold so many of them, I'm sure that many CB operators who owned them when they were kids just want something that reminds them of that time...

Check out this very low serial number GE Super Base. Very interesting to see what was most likely the first chassis design before GE got the bug's out. The rigs serial number is 62. It was sent to Mike of Mikesradiorepair@gmail.com. Once again I'm having difficulty, to say the least...
