I had a bad experience with an Icom-IC 245 mobile 2 meter radio when they first came out.There was a problem that developed with the feed thru pins on the circuit boards.You had resolder all those pins to get it to work.Icom sent me the information which the pins that needed to be resoldered.It worked great for a while,and then the problems came back again.I shelved the radio.My friend had the Icom Ic211 which was the base type radio of the ic245 mobile.He had to do the same resolder job,and his lasted for years.I would never by another Icom again.I stuck with kenwood.I also have kenwood 520 like the one in your video.But its a 520s.I bought it brand new back in the 70's from Amateur Radio center in Miami.Thank you so much for your information.
The sencore cb42 repair video was cool #119 what ever happened to the rest of repairs?
Valuable inside info. Thanks for sharing it with us. 73 de WBØDVM.
A lot of my ham radio and cb radio stuff is from the 1970s and 1980s, easy to use, repair and maintain!.
yOU TAUGHT ME TO REPAIR MY FIRST RIG, THE IC 745. THEN USED THAT KNOWLEDGE TO REPAIR AN IC 751A. THEY HAVE BOTH WORKED WELL FOR SEVERAL YEARS. i LOVE THEM BOTH. MORE THAN MY IC 7300. I THINK OF YOU MANY TIMES I MAKE A EXTRA DX CONTACT. i GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS. I MAY NOW START LOOKING FOR A FT 101 OR MAYBE A DRAKE TR4.
Thank you! RWB
I have fix Icom 745 trimmers by replacing them with fix value mica cap! Simply remove the old variable cap, measure the capacity and put one fix that is within 1pF. No more problem.
Could I ask a amp question? have a older ranger 6900150 would Mitsubishi 3240 be a better replacement rather than hg2879 I read they would out perform the hg
What do you think of old yeasu vs kenwood hybrid units? ft-901 vs ts-830 for example
Ten Tec Scout and Omni D. The Omni had a problem with oxidation on the crystal sockets. Large boards, lots of space inside. The Scout was mobile in my truck for a long time. Fun, relatively cheap and easy to work on. My novice rig was a Tempo One. Hope to find some parts at the next hamfest for it.
Is this the same relay or different? POTTER & BRUMFIELD RIO-EI-Y6-V90 12 VDC RELAY
How does a person contact you?
I have been to your Website, and your email links do not work for me . Thanks Buddy! Love the videos??
Got a 101B now I will be looking out for a 520 as well. Thanks for the info. Cheers.
Great helpful video! I just bought a NOS Yaesu FT-101, supposedly new in the box and never used. What would you recommend to get it running, since it has been sitting (allegedly) so far. Should I get a variac and bring the AC up slowly on first fire-up?
