    Horizon radio reset for power failure....

    GX1260S. I found a just connector, hopes are high that it fits the pin out. What I really need is a schematic and a compatible application for my PC.

    Horizon radio reset for power failure....

    What I need is the connector!!! The type of plug to use as a breakout. The first picture is the ram mic output. (Remote microphone with radio controls built in) The diagnostic port is what I want the pin out for. I am thinking the connection is an electronic standard of some sort of wondered...

    Horizon radio reset for power failure....

    You can see the jumper on the left. I tried moving the jumper, but it didn't help. I contacted Horizon. They want 90$. An hr. For diagnostic.

    Horizon radio reset for power failure....

    Need someone to identify a pin out, on a radio access port for the horizon marine radio. The port is in an access terminal under a panel next to the ram mic port. The radio is submersible, so it's all sealed with rubber. It looks like this...

    Fried PSU for 12v cb radio base station conversion

    It's hot... It's pumping out 12v. I forgot I had this one!!!!

    Fried PSU for 12v cb radio base station conversion

    Old PSU ain't getting it. My other PSU has switch and fuse issues so that's the focus now. The switch broke. Can I use this one instead..it's Already installed, but I don't know what to do with the acc for the light I. The old switch. The cap was wired directly to the brown fuse wire. That...

    Fried PSU for 12v cb radio base station conversion

    These packs.. But they are dual diode output packs, and I don't have the matching input packs like |>|<| and I don't have the |<|>|... They are 6a so I need to use them.

    Fried PSU for 12v cb radio base station conversion

    All right!! Ok I have lots of saved spares components like these dual diode packs, that are just right for what I want. D83-004. I will need a 4 or 5 watt discharge resistor, but I am a bit stupid as to the charging cap. The original was a 35v 2200uf, but that supply didn't supply enough...

    Fried PSU for 12v cb radio base station conversion

    I did some homework. The LM317 is s 1.2a component. I am kind of sketchy about this, seems like everytime someone tells me of this great little thing that is a fix all, I am just to worried about it all coming together. I found some 6a 40v diodes, that should make DC and not fry when I try...

    Fried PSU for 12v cb radio base station conversion

    After testing the transformer I think it's ok. Center tapped 37vac at 19vac... Nominal. So on to the build. I will need a 6a draw at high volume transmit, so I want to target a 6a output, even if I have to build a circuit that is TSR until required. The requirements are .5a standby, 1.5a...

    Fried PSU for 12v cb radio base station conversion

    How do I test the transistor to see if it's ok?

    Fried PSU for 12v cb radio base station conversion

    Last night I tried to fix my PSU and it had a broken connection to the external transistor that I think shorted out. The diodes connection cooked the board as the pic shows. I want to try and rebuild it.

    I like vintage questions about simple stuff!!! Not college educated, so I am not the guy to ask which chip to use to make things work. A shop machinist education. Well yes it does matter which side is up! Electronics is my #1 habitual derivative. Lots of simple fixes to perform. MIDI is a...

    I call my studio, "Gnatz Studio". And I am primarily 5.1 audio focused, that's where you have front speakers , rear speakers, a center speaker and a Subwoofer. This is the heart of the gaming worlds, "ideal sound". There are a few complete systems that offer higher quality but it comes at a...

    Protocols and Systems

    The manufacture of full DAW machines, with built in midi ports, completely destroyed any hope for a complete MIDI system, and culminated if the "PARIS" system, which is basically a midi DAW rather than an "audio workstation". The main problem point being each MIDI machine, should have its own...

    Protocols and Systems

    In the eighty's, most manufacturers added a computer interface port to the system. This allowed for a DAW or "digital audio workstation" to function as a controller for the devices in the chain, kind of like a cut down version of SCSI or "skuzzy"., but easier to install. Almost immediately...

    MIDI is supposed to be a compatible system. It has an output, which allows the device to change the configuration, or a Thru, which. Doesn't change anything. It's easiest metaphor of explanation is "Kind of like An active TSR program on a computer OS, that is fully built in to hardware of a...

    After connecting midi ports 2x2, my keyboard plays all my midi devices. But when I connect my korg microkorg to the line in on my secondary stereo mixer, the midi will not trigger. Connected to the normal fader inputs, it triggers fine. What might cause the triggering loss when a different...
