Hello all, I was installing a galaxy II that I picked up some years ago. I tested it out with the base antenna and it seemed to work fine despite the added "swing mod" which I don't really know much about, other than they're frowned upon from what I've read. As I was hooking up the power cord...

I've been reading a bit online about FM crystals working in AM radios. Can anyone chime in on that? I have a vintage Lafayette 5w 3 channel walkie talkie that I'd love to use with my galaxy ii. If it's not possible, can you recommend a handheld radio that would work and not crazy expensive? It's...

My new (eBay purchased) president Washington seems noisy. Not as much so on AM, but SSB with or without NB/ANL it's loud. It has the Expo 100 kit, don't know if that affects anything. Also doesn't matter if it's day or night, amplifier / power supply on or off, location of radio, or proximity...

I thought the eBay auctions forum was for discussing auctions that were ending soon. Anyhow I went there to see if anyone was talking about about or had seen this: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=141601778918&alt=web

I picked this mic up for 20 bucks. I'd like to try it on my president Washington, right connector, but it doesn't work. I took the grill off the top, and it looks like the element has some holes in it. Also the white and yellow wires at the base are not connected to anything. Thanks for any...

Just scored a free imax looking antenna, but the finish coat is looking a little long in the tooth. Anything I can do? Gel coat? Electrical tape? Thanks!

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=141588969111&alt=web I read somewhere here about the little Italian amps being crappy, anyone know about this one? Thanks!

It's always lower sideband... At least that's my experience. Thanks

I have a few radios I'd like to have tuned. We don't have any shops here in San Diego. I was thinking about trying it myself, but but don't know if I need a scope, frequency counter etc. Frankly I have no idea what I'm doing, or where to start. Is it a simple task or complicated? The radios...

Hello all, first post. Pardon my ignorance, but something's fundamentally wrong here. I'm pretty sure it's all the pieces that make up the mounting of this... That and the ground /ground plane. When I check the SWR as it's pictured (including a ground to the frame of the suburban) it's off the...
