Great video as always. Thanks

How can I get in touch with you I have a couple of repairs I would like to send you if I may. Thank

what is that box you hooked up to it?

That was the first radio my grandfather bought that got us into CB at the time. Still have the manual to it, just don’t know where the radio landed over the years. Always wanted one for nostalgia. All my radio stuff is now HAM related.

Ah! The old Navajo!!! That was my first radio ! I got it for Christmas in 1974 ??? Or maybe 75. I was 14or 15 years old.I loved that rig talked my mom into letting me mount that huge radio ( for a mobile rig)under the dash of her 1969 Plymouth Fury! It came with a plug for 12 volt power.it came with a hand mic.Time sure flies when you’re having fun!!! I have a ham operators license now. Great to such a beautiful specimen from the 70’s thank you !!!!

Yes, I have a CPI 2000 that needs recapped and aligned. It already has the custom yellow knobs. ;)

Nice working old classic from 70’s! Thanks for sharing your video!

I take it that was a cluster 8 as the straight 8 was in a different box

@Underground Customs -- Do you do restorations on CPI CP400s for customers?

Thank you, it was very interesting, 73

I have a love hate relationship with my HF-Auto. This is the 2nd one I’ve owned.

Is there a basing mod/adjustment I can't lower my dk below 40 watts or I lose a lot of top end

Awesome Radio Can’t Wait to get mine out of storage from recent move

thank you

I have 2 2990 one with the power supply upgrade and it's been peaked and aligned. The other is all old school except the 11 meters conversion and it's never been peaked just aligned.. No other mods at all.. I actually like the unit that hasn't been peaked and modified in many ways better.. It doesn't get hot and the audio is a bit clearer.. The modulation is at 80% and it swings to 50 watts on AM and 150 watts on SSB.. The modified one gets kinda hot and the audio is just a bit harsher not really distorted but raspy. The modified unit bleeds a bit on close by frequencies..I may actually have the modified one set to a lower output and turn the modulation down a bit..

As long as the dead key is NOT above 4 watts. what it swings to is not an issue anymore with the FCC on 27 Mhz... Unless it's several thousand watts or even a Kw or above.. If you turn your setup into an AM radio broadcast station where you're walking over people on the West Coast and broadcasting from the East Coast there should not be any problems..LOL.. I mean it's mostly common sense and having some good radio ethics and being nice to other operators that want to talk..

Those 3300 uf caps you use what brand are they? I noticed they are gold and you said they are expensive, just wondering. Thanks

Your videos are amazing I’ve learned a lot, how do I get in touch with you? I have 2 RCI 2995dx radios I would like to get tuned and aligned and all upgrades including power switch and amp relay. I’ll send one at a time after one is sent back I’ll send the other one. Thanks so much!

wild 199 for a software update??? i just got a hermes lite and never looking back.

I like that you said that it's only for listening

Which year Model is this? The new one does not have the swr crossed needle meter

Is it a drift bucket?

What is your location and how can I get in touch with you. Really like your videos. Thanks

Underground Customs I need some help with a 2990 radio

By Min 2:52 I knew everything I needed to know about my Port A Lab. Lmao I have the Same one & was using my klv550 with it. Next day I was talking and it wasn’t working. No swr & the Meter is Off. Thanks for this Content. Now I know. 297 RI. Weekend Wave.

Any info on the waffle??

Are you selling any of these used amps? 811H's?

What about the 2995 dxhp and mic raffle?

What's going on with the waffle? Sure has been a while now? Not trying to be ass hole Man that's a nice tram radio😊

good video would u fix my as-572 canada

It looks like a good radio but could you imagine buying this and getting it alignet and peaked and tuned up? It is huge to send it to a radio specialist and send it back! Just buy the latest released President Washington it is a great 80 watts P.e.P. radio and a lot cheaper than a RCI radio!

I don't know who's cuter, you or that little resistor.

Hello everyone hope everyone had a good weekend and a good week coming up Haven't seen much going on on this channel 😕

I always thought that these radios were a bit inferior to HF amateur radios that were opened up. I always ran low power while in the CB band, and enjoyed conversations there, especially in the sideband frequency area. That was many years ago, and perhaps these 10/11 meter rigs have been improved. Thanks for the tutorial; very well done.

queria muito um dese mais aqui no Brasil nao tem

I watch a lot of these videos. The various accents from different parts of the country crack me up.

Hi, can you share a link to the backup screen part? Thanks!'

Cool old school

How are we looking on the waffle?

Hello, Congratulations ! I am a beginner in mobile CB. I have just finalized my mobile CB registration with a DX27 helical antenna (1m80) + MC KINLEY+ KL-203P. So I have a beginner's question for you.👇 You must start by configuring (tuning) your antenna in "Tune" mode ('Tune' button activated) to lower the TOS/SWR, do we agree? Then, when the antenna is tuned with the MC KINLEY Tx linear amplifier, I can return to "ByPass" mode (BPS) and use (modulate to AM/FM/SSB) my CB radio? Sincerely

Great video thanks for sharing glad you feel better man take care and GOD BLESS---@@!!!!!

I built a stepper motor T match with Arduino control. This tuner is an L match but it must have some clever programming. Works really well. VK5LB

No sorry it sold

Do you still have this radio?

What's your turn around for work on a ranger 2995dx? I live in Philadelphia and it would be cheaper for me to drop off the radio in Mountainside NJ than to ship and insure it. Is that a possibility?

I worked at Sencore for some six years, starting as a factory service technician. The TC162 was my favorite machine to work on. While the service department operated on a "First In, First Out" sequence to repair any incoming product, I was questioned on why I would jump ahead of the month-long backlog to repair only those TC162s on the shelves. My production rating dropped to about 83%. I explained that I had been testing tubes in my Dad's TV shop since I was ten years old, and understood that those testers were essential for a TV technician's business, especially with home service calls. Those TC162 needed to be returned with ASAP an priority to service techs, I said. A few years later I was a Factory Field Technician, writing instruction manuals for new Sencore products.

Rock on! Always wondered why folks who would never hook up a 5-Amp radio to a 30-Amp power supply with no fuse will buy a big black box that's wired exactly that way inside. Good job!

Do you do this kind of work on the RCI 69 BASE PLUS++?

Nice work as always.
