You’re definitely the radio doctor , that was major surgery. Great work. Looking fwd to one of my Grant XL’s getting that work over. That thing looks like a brand new radio
I love this you do extremely good work . I've got a cobra 148 with all the side channels . I it is very sentimental to me it was my father's I just lost back in October. He got it when i was like 12 i was really in the cb hobby and still am .small town no good cb shop's. What I wouldn't give to send it to you to this to .
A BIG boat load of work on that old radio. Now she can sail with the big ships! Major and minor manufacturing madness and magic to restore and upgrade a true classic. My hat is off to you, Brother. Outstanding work. 73, I'm off the key. 😑🦗
The old gal cleaned up nice! 😄..some are rigs are worth the extra time and effort. These 148's fall into that category. I classify them as "cb legends". Take care my friend..👋
Awsome vid hey i was wondering if you wouldnt mind doing like a short clip in your soldiering equipment & what type of soldier you use i do Do some electronic repairs myself but i mainly work on rc cars for myself & friends & am always looking to learn on better soldiering equipment

Yep they are totally unavailable at this point. I took this one from my personal collection. Yes they need to be hardwired in. The fc390 is the older version.
@@TheRadioGarage I saw an old video from CBRadioMagazine where he reviewed the DOSY FC50-S which is made for SSB, but that requires holding a small speaker to the mic so it can generate a tone. Kind of a hassle it seems. Palco Electronics listed some freq. counters as being in stock. But when I called to inquire, they were out of stock. It'd be nice if companies updated their websites.
@@TheRadioGarage aaww man c'mon.. I have an old 23 channel ssb Channel Cat that needs work. It doesnt come on. Its in pretty good physical shape. (Where can I get a squelch/vol/on/off switch)
