OK. I am confused on something. Did you only solder the pads on A together and then the pads on B together, or did you solder A to B? It looked in the video like A was soldered to B but I could be wrong about that. Thanks
@weazle66 hello sir, im looking for a bit of information, i have an alinco dx-sr8, when i am on ssb it makes a squealing sound when i key up, this only happens now and again and never happens on any other mode, any ideas, any help would be really appreciated, many thanks.
@rt97fort Sounds like a RF feedback problem, Check your equipment is correctly earthed as this problem is usually caused by bad earthing, i take it your using the stock mic.
@weazle66 no i am using desk mike but it is still happening when i use stock mike as well, it comes and goes, its not happening all the time and as i said it only happens on ssb, many thanks.
@zs6djm No policeman here, just an amateur who gets angry when unlicensed persons get on our bands.
By the Book!!!??? I just operate legally, if that's what you mean. I have heard many illegals drive by on the interstate yakking on 28.065--the cw portion of our band. We have every right to be indignant.
@zs6djm I can agree! they are just plain boring these days. on 2 meters where i live they are very clicky and wont talk to cbers like me i started out there and i am still there even after getting my extra!! sad.... nice mod! i like the vid!! thanks for posting!!
I don't mind or care if these 'freebanders' DX on non-Ham frequencies, but when I hear them above 28.000 MHz, in the 10 meter Amateur Radio CW band, that isn't right. Guys, PLEASE stay below 28.000 MHz and we can all get along.
CBers are trouble, due to the fact that they are technically lacking. During the CB boom this guy with an FT-101 and a FL-100 amp hooked up a beam and transmitted in no-man's land. However, our TVs were exactly on his 2nd harmonic, which blasted us good--even capturing the audio. FCC got him, I think.
Why don't you ask to see an amateur license as a condition for any radio mods?
@Varianna12 I would not say they are all trouble but many of them do not think about the consequences of there actions.
Most of the CB people i come across seem to be obsessed with power but i know that a good antenna system beats power most times and anyway when the conditions are good (skip) you do not need lots of power.
Most of the people i do these types of mod's for are licensed HAM's, i think there just too worried about damaging there radios so they would rather pay me to do it.
@Varianna12 Your quite right but you see i only modify the radios and then give them back to there owners and it's the owners who have to take responsibility for what they use them for as i keep telling them.

@rico47635 Yes you are wrong, A is not soldered to B.

That is so fake, I mean I don't see a spectrum analyzer set up to prove that it is putting out any power on 27.555Mhz.
Anybody can photo shop that display to seem that it puts out on 27.555Mhz

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice transciver. excelent mod. but a have a question about range of this radio. Is it totally wideband transceiver?.
emercito 5 months ago
@emercito This radio will TX/RX wideband after modification, 1.8Mhz and up.

OMG.....There are so many radio policemen out there, its just sad!
Ive been a radio ham for years and I can honestly say that the most fun I've had is on 27Mhz.
Most of the radio hams around today are more concerned about doing things by the book instead of just talking, joking and having fun on the airwaves!

Thanks for this nice video !
I've a question: is this DX-SR8 works fine in RX, without the microphone pluged in ?
(The DX-70 needs a pluged mic to sound BF) Thx... !

@KryssMoc I noticed no difference myself and it should not make any difference to RX.

It will also not produce satisfactory results whistling on 28.010. A CW band.
UK version of CB operators here in the States.
Don't know about UK, but it's still illegal to transmit between CB and 10 meter bands.
And 5 watts max.

Here's a thought as to why it doesn't work out of band....BECAUSE IT"S ILLEGAL. AND NOT A CB RADIO.....Thank You.
