Gear Head / My new project-Mazda B2200 V8 swap
« on: April 15, 2012, 09:15:27 PM »
Well for the past couple of weeks you may have noticed I have not been around much. Been working on a new project. Non radio related.
This time I dropped a 500 horse power 347 into my 92 Mazda B2200 pick up. Here are a few pics.
I have replaced the front end with new parts. Grill and bumper are semi flat black.

Vintage Ham Equipment / My two twins, Yaesu FT-101's
« on: February 06, 2012, 09:42:24 PM »
Well, I have finally started my restoration project on a couple of 101's. I have a E and F that are in great shape. I also have an EE that is in poor condition.
I worked on the F this past week end and got the receiver up to parr. Really great sounding rig. Now for the transmitter. I can get about a half of what out of it.

How CB radio works / Understanding how CB radio works
« on: January 19, 2011, 12:21:13 PM »
If any are interested I like to start a thread on understanding how CB radios work. I have picked up some free time now and it may be something to help those that want to learn. There are a lot of folks here full of technical knowledge and I think this would be a good tread to help others that want to know learn and understand what is going on in these little set’s. I see so many folks trying to troubleshoot radios and do not even know where on the board to find the problem let alone on the schematic.
What I like to do is start with a chassis like the cobra 29.
Post a schematic with the various stages marked.
Post a description of components and what they are. For instance;
TR 1 (RF AMP),
IC 3 (TX MIXER)
Ecx.
Just to give the guys that want to learn a bit of a heads up.
Then in the end discuss how to make your own test equipment like using the 29 as a signal generator
I have uploaded the modified schematic. This is not my work. It was given to me and I updated it.
