Ok, further goofing around with this radio has not got me very far, but i have learnt a little bit more about what makes it tick....

IC-803 in the channel up/down unit, although sharing the name of another PLL (M58476) is totally unlike its name sake.
The M58476 in this rig has 24 pins (Not 16 ...

Hehe, Congratulations on beating the sucker!


That was a good read actually. Well done.

Previously with CB verticals, i have got some 'L' section steel welded (at a local workshop or friend with welder/grinder) to form a 'T' with a u-bolt/muffler clamp through the 'base' of the tee to be fitted around the mast, and a couple of coach screws on the other two ends to be screwed into the ...

But how i ...

It is an Australian 18 channel version and i would really love to get it running on the 40 channel band.
Any CB radios i have converted from the Aussie 18 channels to the now used 40 channels have been the usual ...

I wonder if that fixed this guys SSB output problem?
Although i realise this is an old thread, I have just bought the same model radio as a bit of a project myself.
Mine is 18 channels though (AU Version) :cry:
Once again, its in great condition but is low on SSB TX output.
A.M seems fine, as does ...
