Johnson Messenger CB Radio Video #2 - Preliminary Receiver Tests

[@Deo-d6p]

Excellent video! I've learned a lot and still am from your videos. I have this same radio (Johnson Messenger 1) and am following your testing procedures. I am new to this and your videos are helping me a lot! Thanks for your time and efforts on our behalf!!!

Sorry, but while you were gone, and wanted us to watch your shop, I gave the Cat a treat... sweet cat!

So that's what happened.

Are the crystals for the Messenger 1 & 2 specially made for these radios, or can they be used in other Transmit/receive crystal scheme radios.?

Hey Jim, you help me out a few months back with some advice on a Detrola d-696 (silvertone). Had rectifier burning out. Just wanna say it's all completely restored and in great operating order. Many thanks to you. Thank you.

Way to go!

Really enjoying this one.

[@JimsRadioShop]

Me too.

Would an UNUN driving a vertical wire give a better signal on the CB Transceiver as well as a SWR of 1:1, it is weird that it doesn't use a IF of 10.240mhz and Second IF of 455khz, try 26.965mhz, you don't have a President McKinley 240 channel transceiver.

If only I could read and comprehend electric; schematics, thank's Jim.

When the skip is in, the upper channels are full of SSB operators from Ontario.

[@JimsRadioShop]

I guess the extra power helps. I'm stuck on the lower 23 channels and no SSB. Next time the skip is up, I'll check out the SSB with a radio that can do it.
