Cybernet ZX1 CB27/81 UK FM Emergency CB radio - service alignment

You don't see many of these. I've seen two others in 40 years.
Basically just needed a routine re-aligment. The receiver was miles out. We ended up with around 0.3uV for 12dB SINAD on receive & 3.95W @ 13.2V on transmit.
.....an we got a Roger!

Well I never......I have seen a lot of these emergency type radios but didn't know about and have never seen a Cybernet one .....learnt something new today ....thankyou Richard for pulling that out of the bag......thanks 👍👍...and certainly looking forward to the on air test when you do one ..

Nice to see one of these again and a great end result! A rare 'Roger' from the ether..! Incidentally, re the choke control, years ago I managed to limp a Fiat Uno back home from around the corner using the choke as a hand throttle when the accelerator cable came off at the carburettor end.. Necessity = Mother of Invention..

Surprised I never seen one of those before but it's an impressive set with LED channel and meter plus sliding squelch control and a reply on 19 all good going plus looking forward to the Scratchy corner test.

Looks like a General Electric in it's design. Nice set.

Yes, the General Electric 'Help' emergency set looks the same from the USA AM market. Clearly came out of the Cybernet factory just the same. Richard, G0OJF, UK
