    Teaberry Stalker Two (40 ch am/ssb)

    Is there any documentation out there on this radio? Schematic? Alignment? If so, I'm not finding it. I picked it up on the cheap a few weeks back. I'm having second thoughts about if it will ever work again. Side panel screw threads are stripped from someone being in-n-out of this thing. There...

    How bad is it in your area?

    Just wondering how bad you guys have it with your local's on regular 40ch. AM? I'm not talking about skip...just your local talkers at night (or day) when the skip is gone. I'm in the Rockford, IL area and most of these guys are horrible. I realize it's C.B. radio and any jerk with $100 can set...

    TRC-485 mostly dead, sometimes it works?

    I got a TRC-485 from an old timer about a month ago. The radio lights up just fine. Goes through all channels, switches between am/usb/lsb just fine. It has no TX or no RX.....most of the time. I know it's strange. Sometimes you turn it on and it works for 2 minutes, sometimes not at all, and...

    Reversing an antenna switch?

    Here's a crazy question for you all. Is it possible to reverse a antenna switch? Instead of 1 radio being switched between 2 antennas, could I run 1 antenna between 2 radios? Obviously not at the same time. I have 1 antenna and want to run one radio in my house and 1 in the garage.

    I picked up a SSK for $10 (OK, $25 for the mic and a Teaberry stalker II am/ssb 40 ch). The mic don't work at all. I did the business card contact scrape/clean trick. Installed a fresh 9v batt. Inspected the inside for loose wires. Everything looks fine inside. I wired it for my 139XLR. It...

    Another 29LTD classic problem

    Ok, so I posted on this radio before. I changed the final out with a new one. Radio worked for about 3 months. Now it has no audio but normal carrier. I tested it in PA mode with a speaker connected and nothing there either. I'm thinking the audio chip maybe? I tested the mic with my other 29...

    Cleaning up my unused collection

    I have a few different items for sale. I will try to describe them to the best of my knowledge. I am not a radio tech and I do not try to be either. Everything listed is as honest as I can possibly describe. First up is a working Robyn SB-520D. Radio works great as far as I can tell. I have...

    cobra 29 ltd classic - stumped again!

    Ok, so I got this radio (dead) and changed the final to a c2166. I also changed C71 to a 33uf 25v. electrolytic capicitor. I tried to adjust L17, L20, L21, L16, and L14 for max RF output, but there is no slug inside L16....it's just hollow. Looks like the stock driver is a c2314. Could this...

    Equipment Identification - Motorola Amp?

    Hello to all. I have been searching with no luck to try and figure out what this is. I got it from a estate sale. The guy was a Motorola tech and I bought all of his radio items. Most of it is gone, what I have left I am keeping. But this one remains a stumper. The Motorola website was no help...
