    Power supply for CB

    My bet is that your supply cannot take the full constant amperage that the radio needs

    Freq Generator

    The radios are also void of all those pesky tuning slugs in cans, that we are so used to seeing in radios of this ilk.

    Freq Generator

    Once I am done with this, I shall actually open one up, and take pictures of its innards. This tests like a pot. on my VOM. This one does rotate almost 360 degrees, and all the ones that use this tuning, on all these radios.... as I have used many brands, do

    Thank you for this. My son also suggested a posting to a hosting forum, which I shall also try

    Servo Stop and Reverse

    Man, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. like most projects on here, as people start to respond with different ways to do things, the specific requirements are massaged, and changed. What seemed to be the only way in my head, a servo, with controller, slowly became a slow geared motor...

    What confused me sir, is that it does have a resistance printed on it like a pot

    Power supply for CB

    and honestly ., cb radios are not that picky about their voltage, being happy anywhere from 12v to 13.8v AS MOST HAD A INTERNAL REGULATOR AS WELL

    Power supply for CB

    For a CB radio (as I was part of the initial CB radio "first Wave") I found that a true "Brute Force" supply, one that consisted of a Transformer, Bridge, regulator, and a whopping amount of smoothing capacitors worked best. I think a prissy Lab supply is not the best choice. I recently fixed a...

    Freq Generator

    These radios are am fm sw, and all the components are in the master chip rather than on the board, which makes pplaying with tuning only available at the middle pin of the tuning pot.

    EGads Ed were tuning acacitos in cheap radios THAT expensive??

    Freq Generator

    Ok, Im driving myself crazy trying this, and this is a general statement on my inability to design this...please help! I have frequency generator that i am using to drive whatever this component is called....so my question is...what the hell is this device (supplied in pics) that Im starting to...

    Servo Stop and Reverse

    I must save bravo in your answer, as I am getting tired of having EVERY project steered to a microcontroller

    Frequency generator, level adjust

    I cannot find any schematics that use a transistor stage in its design...any ideas??
