Hi. I live in Northern Nevada and enjoy the outdoors. I like vintage electronics and old radio equipment. As well as enjoying CBs, I also have my general ham license. I love to DX; look for me on your CB as 595 Lake Tahoe Nevada.
Interesting antenna I don't think I have ever seen a PVC plastic pipe Di-pole done before and it's all new to myself and I was just wondering if I could make a similar antenna but for the 2/70 amateur radio frequencies and if I actually made one then it would be interesting to try it out on the 2/70 bands and just see how far I can get with just 25 watts so I'll give it a try one day and I'll let you know how I got on making the antenna and I can get all the bits from my local DIY shop and it should be cheap enough to buy in the shop so anyway that's my plan. Thanks and best 73's for now cheers. Stephen M3SNV 73's.
Question. I just bought an Alinco DR735T Not a fan of the microphone. I do like the mic that comes with that Anytone radio. Didn’t know if it would be compatible to work with my radio ?
I was able to notice a difference because I have a very low noise background where I live, I probably would not notice much of a difference with a higher noise floor. Thanks for watching!
To be honest, I forgot which direction I turned the pot. I can't believe I didn't post which direction to turn to increase. I would start clockwise and then check to see if your power increases or decreases. 73s from 595 Northern Nevada.
I installed a cb radio for my Autistic son and the noise and hiss was terrible so i put a few clamp on ferrite beads and helped very little! I put my oscilloscope on the power supply and the dc ripple??? Lol. Subbed and liked cheers from Australia ❤
I want to add a bypass capacitor to the output connectors to cut some of the noise out from the PS... but I don't know what size to use.... or what value to use on the cap... anyone have verifiable information as to what value range of capacitor I can use? I see output is supposed to be <150mv RMS....certainly don't want to blow up these damn power supplies.
Great timing... Im doing a bit of a tune-up to my President Washington at this time... Im gonna copy your upgrade for my meter light... Looks clean and is a nice upgrade! Nice job! 73 de KF4LBG "Saltshaker 762"
Happy 4th of July to my American subscribers! I'm very pleased how the end results came out. The original video I had created had only one LED installed but I wasn't pleased with the results. I went back and reedited the video using 2 LED lights and the results were much better.
Came out pretty good myself I run a 1983 cobra 2000. I sent it out. I wanted it recap. My tech told me the caps are not bad do not replace them. The ones from China are not worth a damn. I had it professionally aligned in tune the old radios get it on. he also made a video of it going through the radio. it’s out here on RU-vid .73 my friend.
Good job ! I’m a big fan of keeping the classic radios alive . I just had a Yaesu FT101E refurbished. I’ll be picking it up in two days and I can’t wait to get it on the air .
At about the time you just mentioned, I start to receive the Australian skip rolling in, but lately it's been really really quiet. UDX-4570 Palm Springs wavin 👋🤠⚡️🎙
Congrats, you've got a nice keeper there. Just in case you'ld like to know, that one has the same exact board as the Cobra 142gtl, a Craig L-232 and certain Tram bsae rig which I forgot the model. 73....
I lucked out on this one. It performs great and it looks like it sat in storage for years, probably in someone's garage where it got wet. The meter still looks new with no fading of paint on the face plate. 73s from 595 Northern Nevada!
