    Uniden 980 DDS VFO

    I posted this in another thread, but I thought I would make a new one. I don't know if this is cost effective, but a lot of things in this hobby are not. This is the guy that invented the kits that Troy Radio installs.

    President McKinley 2 FCC AM/FM/SSB

    Finally, a cb radio with all 3 modes. Uniden really dropped the ball in this department by putting FM in the 880 instead of the 980. The new McKinley is supposed to be in short supply with this limited prerelease. This will give them a chance to work any bugs out, if any...

    Reverse Polarity Protection Diode Question

    The other day I was wondering. ( That could be dangerous, right?) Why are the diodes put in parallel to the incoming power? This blows the fuse, but something else will get damaged before the fuse disconnects the power. Why not put the diode in series?

    Anytone Ares 2 with RFX95HD Install

    At the risk of making a big radio even bigger, I put an RFX95 on my Ares 2. The installation is not too hard, and the directions that come with it are pretty good and fairly easy to follow. When you take the heat sink off, you will find that the transistor mounting screws thread into it. I...

    President Electret Microphone Upgrade

    The stock electret microphone that comes with the President radios now days is hard to beat. Changing to a dynamic mic will usually give a lower tone that sounds good, but it lacks the punch of the stock mic and consequently is not as loud. A power mic will bring up the audio level, making the...
