    CDM1550

    I have 2 CDM1500 radios, I am trying to use one as a feed radio and had hooked it up to the computer line jack (Pin 1- pin 16+) The radios are both making squeeling and popping sounds and get very hot (tried reversing polarity same result). What am I doing wrong, I do still get sound out of...

    WS1065

    PRO - 197 Fried

    if you know anything about electronics dont hesitate to open the cover on it and check the internal fuse that is at the back of the radio...it will look like a diode or a resistor usually very close to where the power plug goes into the scanner. 7 times out of 10 its this part that blows up on...

    DX94HP bad finals?

    My friend recently purchased an unconverted untouched dx94hp for 10 meter ops from an estate sale. It was purchased with the box and receipt and had never been removed from packaging. Its never been abused in the least. When the radio was first hooked up 2 weeks ago with a 1.1:1 matched...

    Best Recieve Qualities Of Any Reciever New Or Old

    it really depends on the radio. Both new and old can be of equal quality, I use a cobra 29 23 channel and a new galaxy dx94hp and the new out does the old as far as sensitivity, but cobra has better clarity with some stations IMHO. Honestly though, no matter what who or where the magic is all...

    When were they made?

    The 15 HT1000's I have are from late 1999, was one of the first 16 channel models with the emergency button on top. GM/GP series radios were from around 1992-xx and were great the 6 years we ran them less the mass batttery failure just before the ht's came in. but thats normal wear and tear. we...

    No Audio

    He prob has the scanner audio disconnected from the server or its been muted by mistake. I have this happen to my feed from time to time. Also if the power went out the scanner may have to be physically turned on and he is unaware. Try using the contact feed provider and send a quick nudge to...

    Random question

    What im effectively wanting to do is minimize fade on DX/skip signals when they switch around in the atmosphere, so simply rotating the antenna wont work in this case. I see "big hair antennas" has one thats a 1/2 wave hor/vert dipole, was thinking along the same lines with the two k40. My...

    NOAA weather on 33.4200 mhz Nfm ?

    I am hearing this re-broadcast (or something) here in Alberta Canada on 33.42 using a Pro-197 and out door antenna...very cool, although I am unsure of true distance or the station identifier as its in the static and I cant truly make it out.

    CDM1550LS Programming

    Managed to get the radio to read, the mic connector had a loose prong on it and the computer was misreading the radio. I have successfully repaired the issue and now have a functional radio. Since everyone suggested getting new software, after my success I upgraded using my MOL account and now...

Would make an awful expensive door stop, so any and...

    Red Deer

    Well Im happy that you were successful with the 246T, I just decided it was better to just get rid of it and upgrade, the $210.00 I paid for it just wasnt worth the pain it put me through not just with the red deer trunk, but a couple of others aswell. WAY happier with the one I have now, it...
