RCI 2950DX problem

Last night I checked the voltages Rick posted and I figured the finals were bad. I couldn't find any sc2312's but did have (2) sc1969's. A local told me they could be interchanged so I installed them and now everything looks good. I guess I'm good to go as long as sc1969's and sc2312's are interchan...

Just a couple things I can add from trial and error on my mobile install. Everything previously mentioned is good and these two things really worked for me. I ran a 6 gauge wire from one of my alternator mounting bolts to the frame. For a power cable I took a some old rg8 with a stranded conductor. ...

Swing vs. DK

First I wanted to let you guy know that this MB is great. I don't know how I didn't find it sooner. I have a small mobile linear that says it should have a 3.5 watt carrier. I set the radio up with a 3.5 watt carrier and a 7 watt pep and it keys at 100w and swings to 150w. I can also turn the radio ...
