    2sc2290 in a connex or galaxy

    Well all this time and I still have the boards tucked in a file cabinet, haven’t taken the time to do anything with them at all. I do however, have a donor 3300, the owner found out I had the boards and wanted me to try it. I guess the question at this point is are they even still available...

    RCI 2995DX voltage regulator upgrade?

    Toshiba part number is TTA1943. Of course you can use a TIP36C with exactly the same result.

    And obviously you don’t but it’s ok. There’s several radios out there with bad design flaws but they’re praised by many. My thoughts & opinions aren’t meant to sway yours.

    No confusion, none at all, not on this end anyway.

    New Anytone 6666+

    Did you see the photo I posted, the one with the large display? That radio isn't being produced... isn't in development... and you're welcome to hold your breath until you see one for sale. The other two, the pro and II, yeah... that large display - NO.

    Anytone Ares 2

    I didn't say you couldn't talk on it but the design of it is just crappy. Poorly planned & designed circuits. It is what it is. If you know, you know... if you don't... you don't.

    NPC Mod For Stryker 497 HPC v2

    Crude but effective. From that SMD cap to the center leg of the TIP36C. Use your flavor of resistor/diode... enjoy.

    New Anytone 6666+

    This reminds me of yet another line from another movie... I feel kinda like Martin Tupper (if you know, you know) as most of life I relate to a movie and/or quote. Pulp Fiction, where Jimmy talks about the sign on his lawn... Jules saying that it's not there. Or another, Mean Girls where Cady...

    Anytone Ares 2

    Not to rain on anyone's parade about this radio but I feel the need to give my two cents... A line from a movie - "that little white speck on top of chicken sh_t, it's chicken sh_t too" and another from a more popular movie "you can't polish a turd". The ARES is a bad design, bad radio... fun...

    FCC should just open up 11meters as a Citizens experimental band.

    I can't say that I listen to channel 21. I spend most of the day on 19, sometimes 28 and 38LSB. And usually, you'll find ole Capt. Ritalin on one of the 3, 19 mostly, attempting to pump himself up and down everyone else that's forgotten more than he's managed to retain in his puffed up little...

    Uh, well... potting material can be removed and you can see what's inside... just sayin'. Far as max mod goes, it's nothing special. It's already been proven it's no different than what it's been used to replace - Tip36c. If you've not seen it, it's on YouTube... and with an offer to see the...

    predator 10 k????

    They have some in stock but not all and not what I'm looking for, not to mention I'd prefer to buy wholesale and not retail. But yes, you're correct they do and I appreciate the input, thank you my friend.

    FCC should just open up 11meters as a Citizens experimental band.

    And it's 7:42PM here and he's still going. It's ALL DAY LONG and the FCC doesn't do anything. If they don't stop that BS, then there's nothing anyone here on this forum can do that is worthy of drawing their attention.

    How much noise does the fan make though?

    What is this mod? Stryker 955

    My previous post was in no way meant to slam Drail... all I can do is repeat what I was told and we all know that you can satisfy some of the people some of the time but not all the people all the time. Yes, the little Jawa talks smack about Drail all the time but that's all he can do. He...

    Another from Ranger RCI-X9

    My opinion - it's chasing watts. The Almighty WattMeter, all bow down and make a sacrifice to Dosy. Send ye 520's, Z24's and 13N10's unto the alter... lay thy neck upon this block for that I may chop thee... I shall spillith ye magic smoke in a glorious show of sparks and crackles...

    Well, every time I talked to him he was so grumpy (probably for good reason) but he probably ran himself out of business being rude (haha). I've always thought those cases were the ugliest things I'd ever seen and I went to school with some fugly jokers too. Not to mention how 90% of them look...

    FCC should just open up 11meters as a Citizens experimental band.

    If you listen to "the travel channel" (19) then I think it's safe to say that it's as experimental as it gets and that the FCC doesn't care about it or 99% of their "rules".

    Palomar ERF-2030+

    I don't think you have to worry about buying anything from them. It's either not available from them or just not available for whatever reason the wholesalers are out of most everything now days. It would be interesting to know what their junk 2030+'s are really but they're only hyped up by...
