I decided to get my collection of radios together on some shelves. These are mostly radios I am not using right now but just for display. Some working, some not. I decided to keep the shack full of the things I am using at the time and put all the rest on some shelves in the back patio area for display. I may pick things out of here at times to use in the shack or to do a video on. Some of these I purchased over the years, but many have just been donated to my collection.

That is great. I had so much fun with that little transistor radio, listening to the top 40 stations and the big time DJ's back in the day, and then listening to as far away stations as I could hear with that radio. I got used to how signals were much better at night and wondered why, so I got my interest then and it just amazed me how it all worked. I listed to it most of the time when I went to bed and hid it under the pillow like you maybe did, lol. 73

Larry, You bypassed - I think - a real treasure in your collection: an Icom IC-22S. These were incredible 2M FM radios back in the late 70s and were the magic ticket for me into VHF/UHF ham radio. One of these and the venerable (and handsome) TR-7600 were the first two FM radios I owned. 73 magazine's numerous articles on how to enter additional channel/frequency capabilites were the incentive for me to open up and mod radios. Also, the fact that the old synthesizer board tended to fail (the stainless steel wire feedthroughs) allowed me to pick them up cheap at swapmeets and put them back on the air. At one point, I had eighten of these in various states of repair. If yours runs true to form, the synthesizer will have gone to PLL heaven. If so and you want some inside dope on restoring it, let me know. (K6WHP at ARRL, etc.) Like the DX-160 videos, I thoroughly enjoy all your work. Keep 'em coming! 73 de K6WHP Dit..dit.

+William Phinizy Thanks William and yes, I have a couple of those radios around here I guess. I used to use one for a crossband remote base to 10 meter FM at one time. I got mine at hamfests some years ago but have not powered them up in a long time now but I did also have one I gave to a new ham and he still uses it from time to time. My first 2 meter radio in 1977 was a Clegg FM-28A I think it was, one of the early synthesized radios and I still have it and it still works. Also I had a Kenwood 12 channel crystal semi-portable radio that was basically the same thing as the Drake at the time or they were the same size and same features anyhow. Thanks for the comments! 73

And here my wife complains about my radio inventory lol! I have a few of those radios that you have sitting there. Like the Navaho TRC-433 base, what I think was a TRC-427 Realistic mobile, and not sure if I saw any Cobra 29LTD's in there but they're still fairly popular to this day. I have a vintage Regency scanner sitting here as well. Works just fine but does need some TLC. To add to your collection try to get a hold of a 2000GTL. They're highly coveted among collectors and a joy to own! I have one here given to me by a friend but it does need some TLC as well before it can be used. It's a nice looking radio though and I'm proud to be the owner of one.

You guess that correct! Probably since I used to work at EF Johnon, but it was after the CB boom. I had a lot of Realistic CB's I used also as you probably can tell. My dad used all EFJ though, CB then business band radios, so they were the first ones I became familiar with I guess.

In this video you mentioned a banana mic around the 4:00 minute mark in the video picked one of these up at a pawnshop few weeks back thinking I could use it with a uniden pro 510xl Taiwan model 😀 I want to make sure before I "modify" it for use that the condition I am having is "normal" with this mic installed. Or being educated on how things were in the early days. Conditions normal with factory mic I press button the cb transmits when I let go it stops transmitting . With the banana mic installed and turned on the radio goes in to transmit mode when I press/slide the tx switch it stops transmitting... So simple thought and I haven't pulled it apart yet guess if it's not apart I have less chance to modify/fixing it haha.. It was modified to TX by default , the radio it was connected to for what ever reason required the mic to TX by default, this one is hard to even consider but some how the momentary on switch became a momentary off switch.... I see why you have bloopers in all of your videos lol....

I have a Lafayette 12 transistor, AM/SW radio that I got for Christmas in 1960/61. My Dad ordered it from my Lafayette electronic's catalog for the high price of $49.00. I remember he ordered it and paid $5.00 a month for it. would you have any idea what it may be worth? Oh it still works and I got the 110V power supply. Don't think I ever put any batteries in it. I use to listen to SW back in the early sixty's . Went in to the military in 65 and it has sat on the shelf since. Is there any where I could get any info about it? You have a nice collection of equipment.

Thank you very much. I guess off hand I don't know for sure what you might be able to get for it. I did a search on google and found several different models and also on ebay to see. If you can find a model number of some kind on it, I would put it into a google search, that is the same thing I would do here just to see if any info on it was out there. Wish I could help more. Sounds like a great radio if it still works!

In fact is it possible to receive a signal from 200 miles away from a scanner like the BC345CRS?
@RadioHamGuy
@RadioHamGuy 8 жыл бұрын
+code lyoko 34 Yes, garage sales or ebay and that type of thing are good places to start. Under most conditions you will only hear signals out to around 25 miles or so, but sometimes there are good conditions where you can hear signals out to 200 miles or so, but not very common, just a few times a year usually. It is called tropospheric propagation.

+Radio Rob That was an old pocket scanner that was built into a desktop type housing with some added larger switches and controls on it, I didn't assemble it but got it at a hamfest or something many years ago. But it was just one of those boards out of a 4 channel crystal type hand held scanner from the 70's.

Oh ya, I know that kind of old scanner. They were expensive when they were new. The person that did it this probably wanted something easier to deal with as far as the controls go, and built in power supply I assume. Thanks for the info. I collect radios also, you can see some in my videos.
