Hey WWDX peeps!! I was curious on why the McKinley radio if I turn the power down to 1 watt via the power knob, modulation(SSB) also drops(5-6w) BUT… if I leave the power all the way up via the knob but turn it down inside the radio(adjustment pot) to 1w, modulation remains at 12-15w. This...

Hey WWDX!! Is there a way to adjust the noise blanker in these radios?? Never worked like it should on AM or SSB. I couldn’t find anything in the manual or online. I figured it’s something that’s in a chip and can’t be adjusted. Thank you all!!! Bill

Man…have tears in my eyes. The man was a legend. Thanks for everything Vin!!

I was wondering why output volume is higher at lower radio power? When increase RF power the output volume doesn’t seem as high. Example at 2w volume is greater than at 5w. Is it the limiter kicking in? Radio is a President McKinley. I am using another radio as a receive with headphones...

Ok fellas…I want a black Astatic Road Devil mic but I don’t want to pay $200 for one. I don’t like the red. It’s red and sticks out like a sore thumb. Anybody ever paint a mic? I was thinking of getting a red mic, shooting some primer, black and some flat clear. What do you guys think...

I am sure it’s been viewed but I just saw this. So important to have a radio for truckers and law enforcement on the 11m band.

I always wanted to check out the LA County Fire museum. It just reopened so I decided to go. I took my 15yr son and he enjoyed it! All the old Engines and trucks!! Really impressive. Anyways...I took a few pics of my favorites that brought back childhood memories!! And of course I...

I have a Realistic TRC-216 handheld cb that I bought about 8 months ago. Radio worked fine until the antenna broke. So I found some replacement antennas on eBay. So now the radio does not transmit. It does but only a few feet to the other radio. It receives great. So I understand they...

Hello everybody! I am new to the CB world. I originally got my radio just for off roading BUT I kinda got the bug for CB. Also the radio was DIN sized. Does anybody know how to lower deadkey wattage on this radio? Reason is I wanted to add a RM Italy Kl203. I believe the radio is already...
