When I received this radio, it would turn on and it had no receive. It would click over to tx but had no power out. I replaced the driver and final as well as the AM regulator. The way someone had put it back together had most of them shorted with no screw insulator. Tx now seems to work fine on...

I remember seeing some talk of “Jack” some time back. I had completely forgotten I had this until I found it. Not too sure whats out there for schematics. They are likely covered elsewhere, but it does have one for the 148GTL-DX. Regardless, it was cool to cone across this twelve plus years later!

Seems to be a fairly early D-104!

Hello, I am not a huge fan of the chinese radios, but this one was given to me. It transmits and receives quite well overall, but the problem I have with it is a bit odd. The channel selector does not affect transmit freq at all. And, I noticed when adjusting the VCO it acts like a VFO. The...

Opened this element (beyond dead) to convert it to Ceramic with an MC-564 ceramic bar, but found this skinny “yoke” as I call them that attaches to the crystal packet. Seems this one may have had (or not) thr skinnier packet out of say an MC-151 or similar. I myself have never seen this...

Has anyone uncovered, or discovered if a channel guard filter can be installed in these radios? This radio, for me, is nearly perfect. But, the rejection leaves something to be desired overall. I was just wondering if it may be an option at all? Tony

The past few weeks there has been an interesting (to me) opening that happens as the “regular” daytime skip is winding down. Once the skip starts to sound like it is bouncing in and out with sometimes a ringing sound I flip down to channel 4, and it sounds like a sea of Japanese language. I am...

Hello, I know they only come around now and again, but I have two 1011D radios and I would not mind having a frequency display if by chance someone has one they are willing to part with. Tony

This may very well be out there, but up to the time I pulled it out of the bottom of a much older G Stand, I had never seen it. May be good reading for some in the future? Never know..

Hey all, I have been fiddling with a midland 13-898B for awhile trying to figure out why it is so far off freq on a few channels. For example, channel 14 transmits at 27.104 instead of 27.125mhz. The frequencies are either pretty close to on freq, or they seem to be around 20 low. I almost...

Anyone have any idea when Astatic stopped offering Ceramic (MC-321) as an option with the D104?

Hello everyone, I figured I would post this issue, as I am sure there are a few of us with this model radio. When I acquired the radio, it barely put out any power. It turned out to be a bad final. The radio works well overall now, aside from the receive having an issue. There is a station...

I post this knowing that everyone is different, and we all have different voices also. But, after digging around in my stash, I came upon an older tape recorder microphone that I removed the grill from and transplanted it into the head of the D-104. It is a high z type. It was almost a drop in...

Good evening! I have a 350HDV here that is clicking over to xmit (meter light turns on) as soon as the power switch is turned on. I replaced the keying transistor and the problem still persists, but if the keying transistor is removed, then it will not key itself up when the power switch is...

Anyone have any idea what the part number is for the two individual channel displays on this model? I know I can tear it down, but I cant do it until next week. It would be great if someone had a parts list for it so I could see if they are even available.. Tony
