I have a box of cables that probably got started in 74. It bugged me that I couldn’t use any usb to usb mini B to program a Stryker, Anytone, and Radioddity. Why buy one when I could maybe make one. It’s a $20 savings, but when I do it myself it feels like it’s worth $200. Here’s the V1...

Pick your flavor of truck, WS, KW, Mack, Pete, all new factory antenna systems are crappie to say the least. I’ve tested many with an AA 35, doing an SWR scan, the best I’ve come by are 2.5, the worst 50. Resonance is in the low 26 MHz range. The standard issue is dual antennas where the stud is...

I’m not asking about the fun ones, more Iran/Russian military grade. "Zhitel can jam a GPS signal within 30km of the jammer," says Mr Clark. "For weapons like [US-made] JDAM bombs, which use just a GPS receiver to guide it to the target, that's sufficient to lose its geolocation and go off...

I had a customer take a President Bill II and plug the cig lighter into a 24V plug on a loader. He said it got a little warm:ROFLMAO:. Now there is little reason in putting time into a radio that can be replaced with a new one far cheaper than the time to repair, but I still had to tear it...

I got a Galaxy 98V in and I smelled the burnt from when the guy’s car door opened. I didn’t hook it up and just opened it. The amp exploded 4 out of 8 mosfets Not wanting to even dick around with those boards, where the transistor controlling the fan ops blows and couldn’t care less about an amp...

Not sure how they are going to appear here but here goes. If there is a better way for me to post them, please inform me. Hope they can be of use.

I found this in "the pile". I would much rather see it used then just sitting here. Priority fee: $10.20. I'll forego the 20 cents. I have no idea of its age, hell I'm not sure where I parked the car when it's in the garage.

I would like to recognize all members here and all the input that is provided for ANYONE. I used to hate the secret CB/Ham society but what you all bring here with both questions and responses have made me a better radio NURD and I am proud of that title! Everyone, stay healthy and safe. Don’t...

Got a Sirio 5000 for a mag mount for free50. Used a couple of 3/8 studs and a short ground wire to get these results. The bracket is holding up at highway speeds to my surprise, and no stress cracks with a couple of hundred miles on it. It was the free50 that motivated me and I didn't have a...

My ears like the way they sound especially when the radio has the capability of switching from dynamic to elc to discern the difference. So of course I have to try a modification where I'm using Presidents and Anytones. 2 part question: Is there an upgrade electret mic element to stuff in that...

A friend came by and said while he was keyed up and yappin, there was a power surge (sounded like a slight delay power switch from the electric company) and suddenly the amp started smoking. Power supply did not suffer any issue nor did the radio. Without hooking it up, I took the cover...

Things were kind of slow so I did some housekeeping and found an original Heathkit manual for the SB 200 build. It’s free except for the USPS fee. I’d like to see it go to a good home for someone’s collection. If you take it just to sell it, you missed the point.

22 active devices and 20 pcs of mica. I cannot guarantee anything except that I ship it for free. $60 obo. That's less than 3 bucks a piece for the devices and hope you can put them to use. Thanks for looking, Mark

The original specs are listed below along with what I paid for it. Yup is was $285! The project was long abandoned but maybe y'all could become motivated or just need a replacement. It weights over 17 lbs so shipping is going to be a killer. I'm looking for $160.00 shipping included. Pick up...

Does anyone care to share their favorite AF and RF signal tracer schematics? Keeping in mind the Shack is no longer, nor Lafayettes (threw that name in there for nostalgia reasons). So this is going to be a spare parts/rape an old chassis project and just wondering what y'all are using. Thanks...

What is the purpose of putting the 8 v regulator in this way? Seems like wanting to cause a problem or i am obviously missing something?

What is the red fastener retaining substance used in every radio, and where does one obtain such substance? And, can God make a rock so big that he himself cannot lift, (Carlin 1970). I just threw that in there to divert getting trashed about my question.

I'm seeking an opinion on thermal conductive insulators. Many times the mica insulator is broken replacing parts. Also I'm in my 60s, can work on smds, but when it comes to thermal compound I suddenly turn 3 and I feel like I'm cleaning up from it forever. Thumbing through Mouser I came by...

A while back I was replacing the 10.240 a lot on 360014 boards and lately, more than just one here or there on the 15s and the 6900s. The spec sheet on CB Tricks has the 10.240 HC 49 U at 20 ppm with a load capacitance between 15-50p (Specialtel-Lem who are no longer in business). I found two...

From my home brew days I have one 10-140 pF, 1200V and one 12-300 pF, 1200V, and a couple of small variables caps and a 6.3V 3V trans former for sale. My cost was over $70, looking for $35 with free shipping(USA only). I also have a Peter Dahl, Denton GLA-1000D. Here's the specs: DENTRON...
