Radio Discussion Community

I just want to say a big thank you for sorting my rig out. Very pleased, everything works as it should.

Would Highly reccomend to anyone wanting their radio fixed.

Welcome! I was down in Poole a few weeks ago and found it to be pretty quiet. I did hear a few on at night but I may have been squelched out as they couldn't hear me.

I've bought a Ham international Concorde mk2 from someone on gumtree. It's in fantastic condition but I'm unsure if it took a hit while in royal mails hands, it could have done with more bubble wrap in the box.
Anyway.... My friend can't seem to pic me up very well, TX and RX is terrible on it ...

Will do! Thanks! I'm deaf myself..... Could be interesting lol!

Any idea what size of ferrite rings I'd need for standard sky cable?

A neighbour is getting interference from my cb. My set up is a standard rotel 230, with 20ft silver rod.
My neighbours TV set up consists of sky plus with a scart from the sky box to his tv. How the hell do I stop the interference? The usual hi pass filter I bought us no use as he's not using a TV ...

I've since found out that the signal is really poor when keying up. The person I talk to most in the next town can't pick me up on it, but when I plug my rotel in, I get to him about a 7.
I've fried something possibly?

It was moving at first but it then started getting lower and lower until it ...

It's a little difficult to diagnose with what you say! I'f the signal is poor I'd rule out any issues with the antennae first; a SWR meter will help indicate problems.Can you des robe the noise the other cb makes?

I recently obtained a cosmetically challenged Audioline 340 with a pll 80 channel conversion chip fitted. So I started to swap all the good stuff from my duff 340 onto the new 80 channel converted 340 chassis. This included the signal meter from my old rig, as the one that was on the 80 channel rig ...

Surely most mag bases are rubber soled anyway ???

Thanks mate! I've nothing to lose I guess! I've another 340 coming into my possession soon with a piggy back pll conversion to give me 40 upper, although cosmetically it's gubbed. I might just swap the inners into my chassis if the tuning doesn't work.

Just seen this lol!

Unofficially I had been on since I was about 12. I used to sneak onto my brothers cb when he was out working lol! I got my own set up when I was 15 which was a handheld set!

It's good to hear people still on! I think a revival is in order!

Hi, I've got this great wee rig that I've had since my teens. Recently I plugged it in to discover that signals coming in are really poor. Bottom of the scale/meter with bad receptio, although people can here me fine. When I plug my rotel in, I can hear everyone perfectly.

What can be the cause of ...

Not here its not, it's hiding!
