repair

Hi there, Love my 2005! I have shielded it, opened up 800MHz, added diode for speed, replaced the back light, and added 2 USB fans to keep the innards cool. In conjunction with my ST2 antenna on the roof this is a great setup. I noticed there is some residue under some electrolytic caps and...

Hi! I have a question about my ICOM IC 2-GXAT. I've had it 20+ years and it's traveled all around the country with me in planes, trains and automobiles and it worked flawlessly. It's old and it's single-band, but it does the job. The only thing I've ever had to do is replace a battery pack...

Hi, I bought a replacement glass for my broken display glass window on a Yaesu VX7R, including the double sided tape. When trying to remove the old glass with the crack, I found it is very tightly stuck with the old tape. (Of course I removed the plastic cover with the screws first). I can...

Does anyone know of someone who repairs Motorola HT 200 portables? I also trying to find a table showing model nos. so I can find out what frequency, options, etc. this radio has. 73, Gregg, N2UUP

I was recently given a TR-2500 with three power adapters. One is a disposable battery adapter and the other two are for ac and dc plug in connections. The radio works just fine off of batteries but not off of the ac or dc connection packs. I need to repair these so I can use them. I found the...

I have the Sony SW7600 shortwave receiver and an external antenna that I would like to connect. However, when I connect the antenna to the jack, the radio cuts out and very little sound is played. I can have a station on the internal and telescoping antenna, and when I plug in the external...

My scanner suddenly went dead, nothing being picked up whatsoever. I decided to take the covers off and found this lead from the center conductor on the antenna jack broken off. Fixing it won't be a problem, but I've noticed it is connected through an electrical component. I've attached a...

I just bought an ICOM IC-211 VHF (2 meter) All-mode base rig on E-Bay. Power turns on, but neither VFO lights. Does anyone have any ideas or can you recommend an ICOM repair shop that is affordable? 73, Gregg, N2UUP

The accessory pins on the side of my radio are corroded and wore off...not allowing me to program it. Does anyone know the part number for just the pin area? Do I need a whole new board? Thanks!

Good evening, I am attempting to locate a vendor in the Northern New Jersey area (preferably within 1 hour of NYC, if one exists) that still supports, and repairs Orbacom console systems. I currently have a TDM-150 series Orbacom system with two consoles in service, yet in need of repair. We...

My father owns a Pro 106 and had the idea to set it on the dashboard, but when he took off it tumbled off the dashboard and banged against the stick shift in his car and onto the floor. I tried reprogramming it because I had thought that maybe some buttons had gotten pressed on the way down and...

Looking for help with my Radio Shack PRO-92. I turned it on two nights ago and the screen says *CLONE MODE* up to send, remove cable to exit. I cannot get out of this mode. 1) Left the battery pack out of the radio for one day - no help 2) Hit the reset button (near a/c adapter jack) with...

I just ordered a new rotary knob for my 396T which was skipping and not sticking to the channels I selected. Anyone know exactly how to replace it at home? I don't want to pay Uniden $60 to repair it, the part was only $10. I'm not sure how to remove the old one.

Our local Radio Shack closed its doors a few months ago in Salida, CO and it's 100-130 miles to the nearest Big City (Pueblo, or Colorado Springs - and Denver is about 150). And last year I made the mistake of buying a Pro-96 on E-Bay and I swear I will never buy anything from E-Bay ever again...

I'll get right to the issue...My Radio Shack Pro 96 was submerged in water for 20 min...I got it out took it apart blew it all dry...Now it will not scan or receive... I can hook up to computer and upload to scanner...all the freq's show up, sound still works I can hear the beeps..... Any...

I had a couple of minutes to kill here and I thought I would share with you my personal nightmare. It is my Kenwood TS-950SDX. I got it from a friend of mine's estate; his call was N8OPK. Not in the callbook anymore, He passed away at age 43. Died back in 1996. Massive heart attack, his aunt...

I have (3)- BCT-8's that I have owned for 5-6 years and after about that length of time, they all have developed an audio problem when trunking...and ONLY when trunking. The best way I can describe it is like a radio that is tuned just a bit 'off-frequency'...or when you are hearing a Single...

I recently acquired this scanner on the cheap. It has no audio output from the speaker or the headphone jack. Everything else works, it scans, stops on chatter etc. So, my question is this worth fixing? Does anyone have any experience with bearcat portables they could share. It seems there is a...

Hello, Does anyone know where to get the BNC connector for the Pro-97 or a compatible part number for the connector? Also, Does anyone know where to get the plastic housing for the Pro-97??? Thanks, Dylan Beck KI4MOC

I just purchased a used 996t and it has very weak receive. Local freqs that usually show full signal strength only show 1 bar on the s-meter and the receive is scratchy. The attenuator is not turned on. I did a factory memory reset with no help. It will not receive anything with the telescopic...
