SWR meter
I hope this is the right category to post in, it is related to antenna tuning... The SWR meter I've aquired has a tiny input labelled FS ANT. A quick google reveals some SWR meters come with a short stainless steel wire/aerial that's attached to the SWR meter http://www.sunequipco.com/electronic%20t...
Re: pro 2006
I know this is an old thread but in case anyone finds it searching for the same symptoms, I found the cure. Simply replace the batteries, then RESET to Factory Defaults - Both Realistic Pro's I've owned are reset by holding the 2 and 9 buttons down then turn on - you will lose all stored frequencies...

Re: Old rig in need of some TLC perhaps?
Hi Dave, I'm certain those schematics are not for my board - the diode is D23 on my board. Either way, I've made a little progress on the diagnostic side with a mic connected - it's definitely fubar'd with constant TX illumination (which changes from red unkeyed, to green keyed), PA not working (pre...

Re: Old rig in need of some TLC perhaps?
I've searched long and hard yet cannot find any info on my board.
Plenty of UNIDEN PCnnn schematics except PC242
Meanwhile I've got hold of a Fidelity 4-pin mic that I can use for this President rig but again, without diagrams, I don't know if I need to re-wire it?

Re: Old rig in need of some TLC perhaps?
I do apologise Dave, I didn't answer your post! :oops: Yes, the diode (I'll try and identify it on the diagram for you ... it's not my strong point but I'll willing to learn, if I may beg your patience) had provided a short by the power socket, hence the blown fuses with the rig turned off. Scott, I...

Re: Old rig in need of some TLC perhaps?
Is it possible there are two different models of the same name, a US and European model? Perhaps this is why it's misspelt "Jhon" on mine? Have I got a fake?? :doh: I just found a US ebay ad for a President John Q and it's not the same radio I have. http://cgi.ebay.com/President-JOHN-Q-CB-...

Re: Old rig in need of some TLC perhaps?
Hi Scott, Yes, I'm aware troubleshooting electronic faults may require the use of the expensive test equipment you mention (but I think I've done alright so far with my cheap multimeter :lol:). Perhaps some more experienced members might be able to help me out - give me a few pointers/alternatives -...

Old rig in need of some TLC perhaps?
Hello, I'm a bit of an odd-ball ecentric type and have a habit of collecting things other people throw away - usually consumer electronics or mechanical devices but could be anything that I think might serve me one way or another. Many moons ago I got into CB radio use which were illegal at the time...
