Tried my best following this guide and few others only to end up with an even worse left click. I wonder where I went wrong, I got omron switches and now instead of a double click, it doesn't work at all on input and from time to time holds down left click from just touching the microswitch until I manage to wiggle it back to not working anymore.

Hi there. Git my president washington last week I didn't receive the frequency chart with mine trying to find a .pdf download of it any ideas? Had 11m etc put on mine and fitted 2 fans, a lit of kit to take in just wish I can find the chart would help no end I'm new to the ssb etc I'm an old AM FM 80's CB'er Great rig such a different world to my harrier cbx with extra block on it a bit of vintage but this president 👏 I'm smiling. I have same antenna but is red one on magmount. You run a boot too or straight 80watt out the back to get Brazil. If no boot wow you done well. I'm going up a hill to DX lol. Do you use auto tuner when mobile gor swr across the bands I find mine goes high.... what do you use... BD39/ Silverrod / 73's my friend

Hi The freq chart is just a standard cb freq chart , nothing special, and no boots were used ;)

@MicroChipz Forgotten to ask what do you have the SWR protection set at for your president think I set to 2.4 is that really safe can I go to 2.8 ? I have 1:1 on many band frequencies just some are cutting radio off so wondering about auto tuner unit for mobile.... Cheers..

Hi Graham the person did not set the n code for ch1 correctly in the setup menu for the digimax for the mc145106 , nothing to do with the install as such .. lol,ed hard when i saw the cobraworkshops crap beep the pic chip having it number scratched off is a joke its not hard to reverse engineer the pic code tbh . Any good engineer can write code that does the same
@MicroChipz

That would explain its strange readout, im sure the mod is good when setup correctly, its just a simple ncode mod.

Fitting to a WORKING radio is about £100 , if the radio needs extra work to get it working before the mod then this is extra.

Yes i totally agree with you , thats why i havent done this to every radio i own,if you look at my 747 digital vid , that keeps its original look but adding digital stability. This mod kind of keeps its original look but adds a bit more , and its another reason i havent replaced the signal meter with a display as i think personally they look awful.
@paulwilson1555
@paulwilson1555 4 күн бұрын
The channels work by adding the 3 + 7 to give you 10, then 1 + 0 = 1, which gives you channel 1 high band.

Thats what cb radios do on the rx rf input a pair of back to back diodes ,for this case it depends on the gens max ouput level so maybe zenners instead its just the extra capacitance that might be a issue but at 50ohm dont think it would be
@darrenmurphy6251
@darrenmurphy6251 6 күн бұрын
Some back to back diodes or zenners would be a good idea across the chip output just before the coupling cap, just got a hp8657a and paranoid of breaking it so any comments on output protection very welcome, any probs with the diode or zenner idea? The diode capacitance shouldn't be a problem at 50 ohm, same as long coax iam thinking?
