Anyone ever noticed a wire from R244 to the mic pin? I've got an old Galaxy DX73V with this and can't recall any other radios on this chassis with the wire. I could be wrong though. I'm working on restoring it back to a strong working condition, not sure if it will be in service again or not...

A 1khz tone is more annoying

I'd look into a 150 amp PS for the amp.A cushion is always nice to have, but running batteries is doable for a short period of time. Keep an eye on voltage drop to avoid damage. Spend $20 and get a switching power supply from amazon for the radio power, I picked up a 30 amp supply from there for...

it will cruise the straight six, don't expect full output but it will work. As to a suggestion for an antenna, I'm assuming you mean base. A Maco V5000 would be a decent start for small $ Of course this is just my .02, I have ran a straight 6 before with a 257HP. It didn't take long to swap to...

I need to frequent the yard sales you visit then, most I go to look at you like you’re crazy if you ask about a CB or even a ham radio. The local amateur club is only selling boat anchors. I am lucky enough to find decent condition ROHN 25 tower sections on the cheap though. I personally would...

Stryker SR-25MC solves a lot of mounting issues, it’s a tiny little powerhouse.

Don’t know the rarity of it but I’ve only ever seen one myself. The K40 Speech Processor, I wouldn’t mind having one again just to keep it in my collection.

Who is actually building anymore? Every site is pulling amps down, videos are disappearing, it’s almost as if the hammy hams are lurking and waiting to rat on anyone. A guy can’t get a decent amp anymore

16NJ, Black Jeebus, in the caffeine machine, Johnny Wood, or if further explanation is needed, see a video previously linked in. Still have my T2W tuned Uniden 66 on a shelf, where it will stay.

K0bg.com has a lot of helpful hints. As far as proper antenna installation and grounding in that case, it seems straight. Bonding is another story. 9 miles away is not uncommon given that you’re antenna is tuned properly. If your SWR is good, and if you get a chance to put an antenna analyzer...

Nope, I’d rather go back to the ex wife and pay two times alimony than get another BS “10 meter” radio without SSB. Blue LEDs are like an obsession with LEOs in my opinion. Forget the fad and go with what works. (Side note: my 447hpc2 is used to its fullest extent on AM daily, tho I’m not sure...

Beautiful thing about a backing plate is you can trim it down to fit any way you need. Good luck!

Past 3 to 4 weeks, nothing but DX most of the day here in Texas. Past few days lasting well into the night.

I would go for the 6x6 mounting plate, sheet metal on these newer vehicles is way too thin and needs any help it can get. Plus you never know when you may want to run a heavier antenna. Better to err on the side of caution and be one step ahead.

You’re right it’s a mark up. Just shy of $80 with free shipping off the interwebs. 3” Mount with a backing plate if you can fit it would be more than enough to hold the sirio.
