Great Tips to Avoid the dreaded Smoke ⚡ ☣️ ⚡ Hope all is well your way my friend 😎

Might be a dumb question, but here goes. I just bought a used 655hpc, already converted. Love it. Band A starts at 25- something and Band J goes up to 30- something. CB range sits nicely on Band D. My question is.. what was this configuration out of the box? Published ad material says a 655 is a 10 meter, 28-29 mhz. This all looks so perfect now, a-e, f-j, etc. What did this look like before conversion? Thanks, 7-3.

Not that anyone misses hearing the "back to the bench" boy lol... Does anybody have an update as to what's happened to the Narcissist in the Dessert? I haven't heard as much as a peep out of him in months here in the deep southeast.

Can you stop the APRS and have the radio Screen only

The one i got has 95 watt PEP....LOve it

I have a problem with my 955 and hopefully you might can help me. I did the 11 meter conversion sometime ago and it has been working fine. I soldered the jumper on and held down the function and color buttons and switched it on, rotated the channel selector to HF, turned off and back on and all was good. However, some how when I was trying to modify a roger beep using the software and programming cord I have inadvertently switched the radio back into Ham mode. Everything thing looked good before I wrote the new program to radio but when I turned it off and back on it was back in Ham mode. Then I attempted to put it back into HF mode the same way I did the first time but I'm not getting the Ham / HF option anymore. The odd thing about it is that I can still get the 11 meter band but only when the VFO switch is selected. It's not really a big deal but I can no longer select channels by number but now by frequency only. It takes alot of turns to go from say 26.965 to 27.205. Luckily I can still shift the frequency jump from 1K to 1M with the function button. Sorry for the long post, I'm just trying to give you all the information on what went on. If you have any idea on how to get the radio back into HF mode I would appreciate if you can help. Thanks

Hey GC 204, What brand name is your multi USB is that? Ty

Please do this for the 447

Several years ago I purchased one of these. Stock, it drifted too badly to be of any use to me. My basement is not really heated and temp can range from 16C to 22C, and exacerbated thermal drift. Eventually, I replaced the crystals and the crystal tuning network with a thematically controlled frequency generator, which I control with a microprocessor. Now I stay right on frequency. I do not use the internal switching power supply as it generates way too much heat, as Galaxy has provided no way to get rid of the heat. One day, if I can figure out a way to neatly punch holes in the outer casing, I'll add an extract fan. I do not like modifying the clarifier to address the drift issue as then, "everyone " is off frequency, I prefer to fix the cause. Thanks for the video.

Why don’t they just do all that at the factory why would they sell a cb radio that’s not on the cb band wtf

I watched your video but I'm confused did you have to do a special tune that you didn't show to get that what to do 50 Watts on a.m. or does the radio come doing that kind of power once you do the frequency conversion? I've been wanting to buy one of these radios so I'm interested to learn.. hope to get a reply thanks

This is great content. I just bought a Lincoln ll+ second hand in mint / refurbished condition from Walcott. They say they did a peak and tune package and updated the software. I hope that wasn't all snak oil. I really like this channel man !

Well well. Looks like I just found a new source to help me decide on a new radio for my second vehicle. I really like the way you shoot straight. I’m a retired airline pilot, 77, and just returning to CB after many years. No doubt about it, I am learning that I have a lot to learn. Right now, I’m running a President McKinley with a heater on vehicle # 1. It took me awhile, but finally I have a very tight, and clean signal. I run a Wilson mag mount. SWR is kinda high at 1.7. Looking at a new Stryker, or the new President for vehicle #2. Does Stryker have an auto squelch? Thanks in advance man.

Man , i wish I had seen this sooner . Watching you has taken some of the mystery out of understanding the principles of the sine wave. Reading about is one thing , bit what you just demonstrated is worth a thousand words .you've just inspired me to get back into the hobby . I apriciate your excellent content brother.

Is this not just a rebranded Vero VGC-N7500??

Good stuff as always! What’s your lead time on a tune up/repair?

Do u sell these?

Another radio fixed up properly and another job well done.

This looks like a copy of the VGC VR-N7500, but without the remote access capability that the VGC does.

Great job correcting that radio, they are good talkers. 73’s

I see u have a few new pieces on the bench

My bother from another mother. I am glad you showed this as I have one similar to this and I just ordered a cheaper studio michrophone for a trial from Amazon. I have been using my d 104 with it and every one says I am load but wanted to be better sounding. It will be deli cred today and I will be on air with it hopefully this evening. I love the info from. You . Keep up the great work my brother. Airwolf in the carolinas, 73 's my brother. We need to get together so.e day.

Nice work. Wish I could get my junker 148 to look that nice. I have a question maybe you could answer. When I transmit on AM, my voice comes through the speaker. (like it would with talkback) SSB is not affected. Someone who wasn't 100% sure said it's one resistor added. But I don't know if they meant a resistor was added that caused the issue, or one should be added to make it go away. If I knew I could likely do it myself but I have no idea where to start. Person I got it from said it was "working fine and in great shape when he stopped using it last year" which is likely bullshit considering the condition it's in! It probably has been tampered with at some point, there is a non factory drill hole in the back but no switch or wires there. thanks!

Where are you located. Do you do radio tunes for anyone.

I have a few fatboy amps that could use a little upgrading.. those tiny wires get hot as hell in there and I’m getting some feedback after keying down on one of the 4 pills any of this something you’d be interested in working on?

Can the 955 be turned down enough to use with a Texas star 667v and still work properly?

Just got my KL703 today. You say to open it up and clean up any extra flux or solder. There's one of those stickers on the back of my amp that says the warranty is void if it is broken or missing. So how do I open the bottom without violating the warranty? So should I check it out first by putting it through its paces to make sure everything is working properly before opening it up? Just wondering,,, Nice video though.....

I think I've only seen a couple of your videos so far so I haven't seen any repair videos yet. Is this something you do I bought a 2950 last year and found out after i got home that the previous owner had pulled a diode to give it wide open talk back. I would like to have the radio repaired and if possible get it tuned to work to drive my 667 cleanly.

I have 2 HR 2510s original owner since 1989. I need tobget caps changed Posslly new Finals. 1 powers on but want key. The other want power on. Theey have been in storage onw since 95 the other since 2003. I didn't have a vehicle I could mount them in. (Full Console) I now have a gen5 4 runner I can do a nice dash mount. I love how you did this and the respect you had for it. DM the approx cost (worst case) to repair an re-tune both. I also want LED light conversion (RBG) if possible orange if not. I run 11M SSB.

the irf 520's are good for around 50 watts, irf 530's are good for around 70 watts and they are a direct replacement.

Una ventolina e tutto ok

Hello. How do I get in touch with you to see about sending you a qt40 14:32

So what is the difference between this radio and the Anytone...? Looks and acts the exact same.

I was thinking of digging out my Black Water hat. Now, I gotta do it. :)

I'm confused ? @ 6:50 you said, " Two meter conversion " ? I reviewed it a couple times, and pretty sure that's what you said ? So how's that ? 🤔...?

Wish my QT40 did 50 watts AM. My Nissei RS-27 shows like 13-14 watts but then again I don't know how to get more out or it.

Is there any reason I couldn’t put that resistor on a micro switch to be able to easily put it back to 10m ?

Can you mount a frequency counter on top of radio?

good video

How do you keep these radios from getting hot

What would be considered over volting the rm Italy? I have 2 power supplies a 14.5 and a 13.8 would you recommend running them on the 13.8?

Hell yeah buddy 👍

I know you did this video a while back just wanted to say I appreciate it and I've adjusted my radio according to your specs and I've already had feedback from people saying by sound better so thank you very much

👍

*Can a Stryker SR-955h be Modified just a Stryker SR-655 can?* *Is there a Advantage one Vs the Other?!?*

Ive come to the right place... 73 de KF4LBG

I like the MFJ digital meter. Guess I'm going to have to order myself one now.

I have a lincoln 2+ in my Subaru Forester and I get a lot of static. What could be causing this?
