    Power supply for CB

    Hi friends: This is the power supply I am referring to.https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07K7HGBLL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 My suspicion is that current limiting is preventing the CB from getting its proper voltage. So, how can I tame the current limiting? Set it to max...

    A Phoney Question

    Hmmm...I opened the phone (it's a spare one). It has three wires going to the tiny speaker. Two wires are red and one is v=black.

    A Phoney Question

    I have your typical V Tech and Panasonic cordless phone systems at home. Both sets are working on a single line, as I split the phone line coming in and routed it to both systems. My question is this (and it does not matter which of the two systems I use). Is there anyway to modify one of the...

    It's Been a Long Time.....question

    There is carpet in the room yes. Most often, I am laying in bed, and I will try to increase or decrease the volume, after I had been lying there for a while. I suppose it still can be static. How does one insulate the knob? I have not really noticed if it is more often or less, on dry days, but...

    A Little Delayed in Starting

    Setting this one aside for the time being. May get back to it over the winter. My wiring is too congested and this strikes me as a good prompt to finally learn the software that helps organize your wiring. So, will probably pick up on that over the next couple of months.

    A Little Delayed in Starting

    True. I am skeptical as to whether my build will work. I have had to work on it in spurts and despite using a highlighter to mark what I have completed on the schematic, work8ng this way ordinarily does not yield good results. But sometimes other duties in life get in the way, we’ll see
