Mister Jose hello, thank you for your interest. There is a DDS module availlable for all old CB-SSB-radios. You'll get 6 bands (240 ch). Please take a look into the link below. Take contact with Herbert Maurer. I wish you a good mod to your radio. Best 73 to you: funkservice.at/dokus/DDS-4en.pdf Best 73 to you...

Eine SWISS-CB MKIII mit 22 Kanälen kann man nicht einfach so auf 40 CH umbauen. Diese Geräte wurden von Uniden für JACOB Trading als Prototypen hergestellt. Es sind Abkömmlinge der President P-300/ AR-144/AX-144 or Uniden PC-244 aus den USA, die jedoch noch keine FM beinhalten. Von Zeit zu Zeit taucht eine dieser 40-Kanal MK3-Kisten bei Ricardo wieder auf.

And the repairs on a soild state amp is very expensive as a Hamradio operator I will use my tube amps till the day I die mosfets cannot stand the constant load or a slight missmatch it’s done I drive my tube amps with reason and will last for years people today run them balls to the wall and blow them up you need power when needed

Es git no ä SUPER STAR 7000DX (SHARP) wo sich völlig vo de andere unterscheidet. Mit breitem grüenem Display usgrüschtet und fine Bedienelemänt , gseht sie völlig andersch us als all die andere SUPER STAR's. Ich han dich übrigens vor ca. 3 Wochä no uf em KIWI Hasenberg ghört. Ich glaub de Black Angel isch au no druf gsi. Han dänn QRZ inegrüft, aber ohni Hasebärg ghört mer mich nöd im Aargau. Ich bin eis Dorf näbe däm entfernt, wo du die Chischte ghauft häsch.

Geschter hani in Zofige absolut Glück gha, was alti CB-Chischte betrifft. Sid ca. 30 Jahre hani die US-Version vo de Midland 6001 (40CH-AM/SSB) gsuecht. Geschter hani dänn uf de Bühni dänn die gseh und debi isch au no die neu Midland 6001 (79-012) debi gsi. S'Düpfli vom i isch dänn no däh gsi, dass ich au no die alt Midland 79-892 (Scheibenrad) no gfunde han, wo ich au sid viele Jahre sueche. Das isch würklich en Zuefall oder Glück gsi. Sid bald 40 Jahr suech ich aber d'Midland 79-891. Die hät frühener dä Güttinger & Ryter in Spreitebach verchauft. Da münt wältwiit ganz wenig ume si. Aber i de Schwiz sind sicher 10 bis 20 vercauft worde. Du gfinsch au kei richtigs Bild im Netz. Usser uf eBay finsch diversi Manuals vo dene. Ja viellicht gseht mer sich emol irgendwo.

Hello, dear CB radio friend. Thank you for visiting my channel again. Yes, the electrolytic capacitors have already been replaced. The previous owner had already replaced them. However, I can hear a weak hum at 100Hz on the test equipment. This is because a cascade circuit was used for the anode voltage and thus the two half-waves were rectified in common mode. I could now double the capacity of the two electrolytic capacitors, which would possibly make the hum disappear completely. I'll see when I have time again. Vy 73 to you

What I have noticed, however, is that the display of the digital clock lags significantly behind after setting. I always thought that the clocks are synchronized with the mains frequency. That's why this clock is still set to 60HZ. Somehow it must be possible to synchronize it with our 50Hz mains frequency.

Hello OM Ken, I appreciate your feedback. I've observed that the digital clock display experiences significant lag after being set. I was under the impression that such clocks synchronized with the mains frequency, which might explain why this clock is still on 60Hz (US mains). Ideally, it should sync with our 50Hz European mains frequency. The clocks in the Euro Stalker-XV and -XX, such as the Euro President Madison, also run in sync. Currently, I do not have a website beyond KZbin. Wishing you and your family a pleasant weekend.

Hello, dear CB radio enthusiast, thank you for tuning into my channel. Indeed, there were two variants of the devices available then. One ranged from 26.515 to 27.855 MHz, and the other from 26.965 to 28.305 MHz. However, in Europe and the USA, only the frequencies from 26.965 to 27.405 MHz (CH 1-40) are legally permitted. Overall, CB radios and antennas are a passion of mine. The 80s were a wonderful time: large CB gatherings, free from the distractions of smartphones and Instagram profiles. Wishing you a pleasant evening. Best regards, 73

@@SWIZZRADIOS 26.515 to 28.885 MHz.would do me, but then it would clash with the UK FM frequencies! Why they can't make CBs do the same type of stepping as they did with the UK channels I don't know, it was handier. It would be a better if the channels went in steps like Ham radio on 28Mhz. In fact, CB would be a lot better if it went in 12.5Khz steps. But it would take a lot to change now. 26Mhz to 28Mhz would be a real boost and inject much needed interest into the hobby.

Hello dear CB radio enthusiast DX444, thank you for repeatedly tuning into my channel. Indeed, I owned the COLT 320 FM about 15 years ago. It is completely identical to the MASTER COMMANDER, with the controls arranged in the same manner. The PCB is the PTBM121 version from CYBERNET. Best 73 to you.

Greetings, fellow HAM radio enthusiast, and thank you for tuning into my channel. Indeed, the HB9RU antenna, often referred to as a pitchfork, was an invention of a Swiss engineer in the 70s/80s. It was later reconstructed and enhanced by HB9MTN. You can find the precise calculations on the provided link: www.qsl.net/hb9mtn/hb9mtn-ru.html Although the page is in German. Enjoy constructing this antenna. Best 73 to you...

Hello my CB radio buddy, thank you again for visiting my channel. In the spring of 1984 our CB radio specialist shop had a sale of the old 23 channel devices. So I was able to get a hy-gain VII for a good price. This looked almost the same as the hy-gain 8, but only had AM mod. I will create a more detailed video about the base. I don't even know what it looks like inside yet. Have a nice evening and vy 73....

I have the US 23 channel version. When I was 12 yrs old (1976) I went down with my uncle to a massive sale and bought two HyGain8s a HyGain Super Golden Penetrater and HyGain CLR II 5/8 wave ground planes. I still have one of the radios and the CLR II that is still my main Antenna. My box for the radio is black with orange 70s design. I would love to find a export version like yours, thanks for showing. Cheers

Hello my CB radio buddy, I would never have thought that I could get hold of two of these RIGs from the same seller. The manual says that the frequency range is from 26.515 to 27.805 MHz. However, one radio goes up to 28.305 MHz and starts at channel 1. I will create a more detailed video about the base. I don't even know what it looks like inside yet. Apparently there is a 120 channel version that also includes FM mod. But I can read about it online. Have a nice evening and vy 73....

Hello dear OM, thank you for visiting my channel. With the FT847, the AGC regulation needs to be improved.
