    Regency Range Gain - Mods & Upgrades

    I know not a lot of the tube type Regency Range Gain CBs are around. However, if you own one the transmit audio is less than great. The Regency has a wonderful 6AQ5 push pull modulator. Most modulators are single-ended, that is either a single tube 6AQ5 or 6BQ5 tube. Not many CBs have superior...

    Cobra Cam 88 vs Regency Rain Gain CB sets

    I like vintage tube sets. I picked up an operating Regency Range Gain set & owned a Cobra Cam 88 for a while. The Cobra Cam 88 s a fun set. The receive audio is ok and the transmit audio outstanding. I removed a resistor to allow the 4 watt dead key to swing to 10 watts vs the old 6 watt swing...

    Tube Radio- Courier Royale vs Cobra Cam 88

    I bought a Courier Royale recently. I have a Cobra Cam 88 for a while. I was curious about the Courier as it has a mechanical filter in the receiver section. The mechanical filter was an expensive option and provides very high adjacent channel rejection. After playing with both radios on the CB...

    More CBers than Hams

    When CB band is open with skip, about nothing heard on the 10 meter Ham band. Are there more CBers than hams now? I notice less than 1/2 the activity on the ham bands in the last 10 years.

    US Gov't 20 Trillion in Debt- what do you think will happen

    Palomar 350Z

    I bought this amp and rebuilt it. New power supply capacitors & a relay to switch the 600 volt secondary. Palomar had the tubes drawing B+ continuously- not good. I had four new 6LF6, driver 6LF6 tubes were like new. Anyways on low drive I could get only 300 watts out with a swing to 350 watts...

    Cobra Cam 88 Modulation Mod

    I search the internet and found quite a few replies on forums about increasing the dismal Cobra Cam 88 modulation as set by the factory. But, no one stated how to perform the mod- go figure. The mod is simple. Cut the resistor out of circuit at the Dyna Boost switch. All done. The factory stock...

    Yaesu FT-847 vs old FT-726R

    I bought a used FT-726R for 2 meter & 430mHz SSB. Paid $300. Radio arrived and it did not work oin FM. It is doubtful I would ever use FM, but did not like idea of a partly broken radio. I would also have to find amps to boost signal from 10 watts to 80-100 watts. Seller refunded me. Thinking...

    Rebuild the Stellar Turner +3 Microphone

    The Tuner +3 is a fine microphone for communications. Besides being amplified, it has an audio compressor inside that makes for louder average modulation without over-modulating your radio. This microphone was briefly made in the early 1970s. Problem today is the microphone is old with failing...
