Just videos I make for fun and CB'ers to hear what their stations sound like.... but please remember that these videos are all recorded on a crappy old cell phone, and I am no expert, so the audio and video may not be the best.
If I make any mistakes with peoples names let me know, I will fix it. And if you find a video of yourself on here and would like a custom image for the video, let me know, I can do that also.

A little bit about Mosfet Transistors and more professional testing, read the description please.
Переглядів 212Місяць тому
After watching my own video I did notice I mis-spoke a little bit... for example I said a mosfet can't be controlled with one wire, well yes it can, you just need to bias it a little... and probably a few other little blubs in there. I'm sure some geniuses will correct me, but I hope I get the point across how a mostfet functions a little different than what I call a regular transistor.

Glad you found it, and Glad You Like iT.... Have Fun
For me it was one of the test leads that went out. It was free so I cant complain too much. I bought an Aneng UT61E about 10 years ago and it's been trouble-free
I had a shop work on my old Cobra 29 back in the early 90's. yes it turned into a serious splatter box. I was young and had no idea. I remember getting good reports back that my audio sounded good. My friend said I was bleeding over a few channels. I never got to hear what it actually sounded like. That radio is out in the world somewhere. I sold it in the late 90's for real cheap.
Not necessary to cram that +2 in your gob like that.
Yes it is, you keep the mic gain down which will pick up less background noise and you sound clean and clear.
@@bigcbradio No, it's not. You're slobbering and spraying chunks into it. I have owned my +2 a lot longer than you have. It's directional. Stop eating the mike. Nobody wants to hear you smacking and lisping. Your newbie is showing.
@@bigcbradio No. Totally incorrect. Buggers spit and taco crumbs all in the screen. And hearing your blubbering smacking lips makes me want to puke.
@@bigcbradio LOL No.
@@terryparker1694 LOL, Yes.
That's not planned obsolescence. That's just crappy quality. Don't expect anything in that price range to be decent. Not to be a tool snob or anything, but those meters are literally garbage, not to be trusted.
Darn right. I got a dozen of these for free and I expect Fluke quality at that price!
Some Chinese person has it out for you
I know, I've been watching my back for years
Everyone on here keeps saying buy a Fluke LOL, I have some flukes that took a shit also. If you search here on YT for repair fluke meter you will find dozens of videos with broken Fluke products. You fluke lovers probably tell the guy with the $15 HF wrench set he uses once a year he should go buy the $320 SnapOn set, Right? Also, when I first posted this video "cesarcarvalho116" pointed out that... "the small PCB is cropped from that space. This allows making two boards at the cost of one, a substantial decrease of the board area, and a more efficient use of the raw material." I then acknowledged his statement and ate my words. :) Don't forget, many Fluke products are now made in CHINA also LOL
Yeah, yeah, everything's gotta be some sort of malevolent conspiracy, doesn't it? Was the "planned obsolescence" done by the lizard people in charge of the government too? This isn't planned obsolescence, it's just somebody making things as cheaply as possible. Making the board in an odd shape makes for much more wasted space when producing the PCBs, leading to fewer boards that can be made per run, which makes the boards more expensive to make. Separating it into two (roughly rectangular) pieces makes it possible to arrange them much more efficiently when manufacturing them, shaving a couple of cents off of the production costs of each unit. In my experience, pretty much nothing anybody claims to be "planned obsolescence" actually is. It's usually just that they don't understand how the manufacturing process works so they make up wild assumptions to fit their own paranoid worldviews instead...
Yes I am paranoid and full of conspiracy theories, like why do my wiper blades only last a month, but the similar wiper on the door windows last for 10 years or more? By the way, when I first posted this video someone pointed out in the comments that if you look at the main board, that the smaller board was cut out of it, and that is why they have 2 boards. I immediately mentioned that I made a mistake and am eating my words, but my paranoia leads me to think that you kinda look like a lizard and may be a democrat.
Making something as cheaply as possible and falling bellow the floor of reliability may not be "planned obsolescence" but it's manufacturing a disposable product. Basically the same, where one is nefarious and one is just negligent. Hard to complain here if they hand these out for free though.
absolute junk
But it was free junk for many years and they work fine for a while
That's not planned obsolecence, that's bad construction and trying to save on production expenses. That little part of the PCB would make the PCB itself way bigger so it is printed as a two part piece and then assembled. See the missing part on the other end of the PCB? That's where this piece came from.
Yep, having the projection as one PCB reduces the number of boards per pallet = more expensive per unit.
You're seriously expecting quality from a multimeter that cost less than the 9 volt battery powering it? That's a stretch, man. Everyone going into those knows they're not long for the world---like most stuff at Harbor Freight. Their whole thing is disposable tools.
Yeah, this is a multimeter you buy when you blow a fuse on your good one and need it for a job asap
Not everything. My harbor freight angle grinder has been chooching for years and years, I got it for like 15 bucks.
I never said I expected quality, just trying to help a few people fix their meter easily.
@@LostBeetle I have dozens if not more HF tools and all of them have been going strong for years, and many people do not know that they will replace most broken hand tools free
@@bigcbradio Fair enough, but for most of us, it's not worth the time to open it up and solder it. Taking more than two minutes to fix a $3 meter only makes sense if one's time is worthless.
HA HA! Planned obsolescence? SAY IT AIN'T SO!!! LOL!!!!!
My Dad used to say "Never blame something on malice when it can be explained by simple incompetence". And in this case, designing something to a price point. And when the price is free, you can expect it to be made as absolutely cheap as possible.
That phrase is known as "Hanlon's Razor". Not only your Dad has spoken these words. 😁
That's plain ole poor engineering. You get what you pay for.
they were free for many years
there is a difference between design to fail and incompetence. I suggest the later in this case. but really - those are shitty meters anyway - so buy a Fluke
Yea I'm hardly inclined to complain about something that was effectively given away. Of course it is going to be garbage and not designed to last. This feels like getting a free sample at costco and complaining it wasn't a full portion.
Meters are definitely a 'buy a good one and cry once, or cry every time you use the cheap one' product.
I have one and just keep the leads plugged in where I use them the most. If I want accuracy, I just take out my Fluke.
Not surprising, but I also agree these are designed to be $5. I just leave my leads in and just wrap 'em around, never remove. No issues yet. Prob 6-8 yrs old.
I have an earlier version of this meter. I got it from Harbor Freight over 20 years ago. They had a huge fishbowl full of them at the checkout counter, and if I recall correctly, you got one free if you spent over a certain amount of money. Mine has a yellow case, and a slightly different board. I think it's all one piece, instead of being split in two, like those. It still works, and is reasonably accurate, compared to my Fluke.
had one of these for years with zero issues. These aren't designed to fail they're designed to be 5 bucks. Get a fluke if you want quality and longevity.
I got mine for free. I wouldn't use it to repair medical equipment, but it's good enough for hobby use.
I have a video on my channel, of one of these meters changing value based on how much sunlight hits it.
Yeah, I don't trust the accuracy of these things. They're useful as a "is there voltage/continuity here" kinda meter, but the actual number on the screen isn't very trustworthy. (Interestingly, the unit I own seems to be *fairly* accurate on DC, but on AC the numbers kinda dance all over the place)
This is a planned repair. If that was one whole board and it is experiencing the stresses to crack traces then it may break a board that runs there. They offer warranties on stuff so when they get one they can just swap that little board instead of the whole shebang
Thats just a cheap meter. It wasn't designed to fail, it was designed with a pricepoint. If you want accurate and durable, get a Fluke. If you want to spend 5 bucks on a meter, you can expect the quality that justifies the price...
Don't even need a fluke to get a good meter nowadays. For most hobbyists a sub 50$ Klein meter is plenty good. I've had mine for damn near a decade, drove off with it under my hood and lived there for a few months during the winter, still use it daily.
Or maybe it's just a cheap piece of crap.
All of mine still work but all of the leads fell apart. If you want to see planned obsolescence have a look at the flashlights they used to give away, every single one of mine, and I had a lot of them, the switch went out after about two dozen activations.
same, same, now i use an SMA92 it was arround 25-26euro, Its a digital multimeter, with much safer leads, i wasnt even dared to put my leads near 3digit volts, the the probe cable was that bad and unsafe.
Broken traces? Well, those can be fixed! Not the selector switch though. I swear, EVERY single one of these low end meters goes weird on the resistance range! It doesn't matter what brand or whatever, the resistance range ALWAYS conks out!
Yes, I have that happen also, and it seems to be the selector switch almost every time. I have to take them apart and clean them. A couple of times tho cleaning the battery contacts solved it.
yeah, it happened with me too, like i was measuring a 100ohm resistor, it was saying like its 141-2ohms, and i wasnt fooled since the resistor was brand new and i can read the markings on it.
@@bigcbradio Adding petroleum jelly to the slider contacts right after unboxing the meter helps a bit.
Love that radio! I have a 142 with a digi scan 400 mounted on top! Haven’t used it in 30 years. (Condo, can’t put up an antenna)😢
I know a guy that lives 71 miles away and over a hill, I can talk to him almost every night... he uses a Wilson 5000 Mag mount on his BBQ grill on his back patio... You should try that.
@@bigcbradio I will try that! I want to get back into the hobby and plan to get a mobile rig. Cheers from California!
Much respect to you “ Number 3”. Listening to cb radio brings good memories when my father used to cb talk from Tijuana to my uncle in Guanajuato.
This is my friend "Number 3" he also has his own youtube you can watch him on... www.youtube.com/@chuponnumber3socal183/videos
I wouldn't call it planned obsolescence. It's just a device that was built as cheaply as possible. Cheap materials, no real quality assurance testing... You're getting about what you'd expect for a free or for a few bucks. Being poorly designed is not the same as something being literally designed to fail.
So you are saying it was cheaper for them to make 2 different boards and then solder them together? You are going to make me make another video... I have these meters going back more than 10 years and the older ones still work, they have one board and they have 2 pins to support the board behind the sockets.
@@bigcbradio It might actually be cheaper, if they can get more yield out of a single sheet sheet of PCBs or something like that. Or they could have just changed the design to be able to be used in other products - say if another companies wants the Chinese factory to build a meter but have the sockets in another location in the shell. In that case they could just use some wires to put that little board somewhere else instead of major PCB redesign. It's also possible that it's made an entirely different factory to explain the design changes. Remember that "Harbor Freight" doesn't build anything - it's all pretty much so-called "white box" Chinese junk with a label slapped on it. I'm not disagreeing that it's poor design, though. I dunno, I just have trouble using the term "planned obsolescence" on something that for the price you paid you wouldn't expect to be a high quality item.
@@bigcbradio yes, it's cheaper, indeed. Look at the dent, in the top of the video. The small PCB is cropped from that space. This allows making two boards at the cost of one, a substantial decrease of the board area, and a more efficient use of the raw material -- so, it'll be cheaper.
@@cesarcarvalho116 Damn, got me! Now I feel really stupid. LOL, Good Catch! Now I have to pin your comment to the top... But I guess I will leave the video so people still see the fix.
Edit... you were right!
I have three of these they all stopped working. I’m popping them open and finding that you’re exactly right on all three of these.

Who you calling a Dummy
Right on!😀
Forget this shit get a general make some world wide contacts cb is shit
I didn't get it. Where does the light bulb go in the circuit? In series with the primary or in parallel with the primary?
Series with the primary. Imagine it like this: Put 2 power switches side by side going to the primary, if you turn on either switch the transformer turns on. If you turn on both switches the transformer is on. It wouldn't matter which switch you turn on, the transformer turns on as soon as the first switch is in the on position. If you turn on the second switch nothing new happens, the first switch already turned it on. So now take one of those switches and have it run thru the light bulb on its way to the primary instead of strait to the primary. If you turn on the switch with the light bulb first, the light bulb will absorb the possible surge of current that would normally thump the transformer, and it will also put the magnetic field in the transformer in sync with the power that is coming in thru the light bulb. That switch and its power going thru the light bulb is the "soft start". Now you leave the light bulb switch on and also turn on the other power switch. Now the transformer is able to draw its full current as it is fully powered on, and at the same time the power that was going thru the light bulb has been bypassed. You can do it with 2 switches and a light bulb, or a resistor, or timers, etc. It is really simple, you just power up thru a suitable resistance, then bypass that resistance with another switch.
@@bigcbradio Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I understand the light bulb in series with the primary. That has been around for a long time. I just couldn't tell in your video where you were putting it. I thought maybe you were trying to explain something I haven't seen and I didn't want to miss it, if you were.
Thank you from India
id be careful i burnt my meter up by over powering it and flattend my 3cx3000a7 that was costly. Those tubes in that are extreamly expensive .
50 years I haven't flattened a tube yet.... (knocks on wood)... but... I did sell that amp recently and the guy kept saying he was going to drive it with 100 watt HAM Radio. I told him at least 10 times, don't do that, he kept saying he could turn the power down, and I kept saying don't do it! Later that day he called me to listen to him on air from 75 miles away and over a 10,600ft mountain. I told him it sounded bad like he was over driving it. The next morning he called me complaining that it stopped working and he thought I should repair it because as soon as he got home and hooked it up locals told him it sounded bad.
i mess with your videos dude, good stuff
Too bad you couldn't 3D print new gears...
I had a friend offer, but it seems easier to sorce them from light timers
Are used to only superstar 3900. My first export radio brings back memories 35 Boston, Massachusetts.
Glad to hear
Nice
I should mention what I didn't say in the video is.... the results would be the same if I had the antenna on the meter horizontal and the radio horizontal. In the real world out there, there are reasons to use vertical or horizontal, but that is whole other can of worms for another day. This video was just to show that it does make a pretty large difference if the transmitting and receiving antennas are not polarized the same.
Luckily, my 20 amp isolation transformer has dual primaries, so I run it from 240 VAC, instead of 120, and that keeps the breaker from popping. It's enough current to make the wires rattle inside the conduit. Transformers, even with no load, appear as a series R-L circuit, and there is a startup transient. You can even model it in SPICE and see for yourself that several cycles are required to reach steady-state.
Rattle in the conduit..... sounds like you could use some soft start there
I’ve got this same radio
I sold that one years ago, but it was a good radio
Man loud and proud....no noise
My suggestion, use a time-delay relay. Connect the value of the resistor needed to stop the surge in series with transformer primary. Connect NO contacts of timer across resistor. When timer activates, say 1 second, contacts close and take resistor out of the circuit.
Yes, that is the correct way to do it. I'm cheap though, I just use a switch and I'm the timer and by the time I switch it, it's ready. LOL
If you get 2 identical MOT's and series the primary's, each will only see half of the mains voltage, and run much more efficiently and cooler. The issue is, as you described, they have too many volts per turn on the primary. Then you can wind whatever you want on the two secondary's, but you need to balance the loads, so say you want 12v, wind the secondary the same on both and series them to get 12v.
I actually have many mot's and I do have 2 matching. I was planning on doing just that with them, but I haven't got around to it yet. I was going to run the secondaries in parallel. You have good advice, hopefully others read this also.
@@bigcbradioseries is better as it spreads the current evenly. Just aim for half the voltage required on each one.
@@dieseldes6578 I will try it both ways, it is just for 6.5 volts so it will be easy to try it both ways. Maybe I will put them next to each other and try looping the secondary thru both ! 😀
At a TV station I maintained, our soft start circuit used 2 1 ohm wire wound resistors on a Harris TV-55U 50 kw transmitter to slowly bring up the high voltage. The filaments were also soft started.
That's 2 - I ohm 1 kw resistors, forgot to mention that.
@@KA9DSL I figured they were BIG resistors since you were working with 50KW.. LOL. Sounds like a fun job. I only work with small stuff, like 1000 watts. I was only mentioning the soft start in this video regarding the kick from the magnetic field, but yes, as you mention, it is a good idea also for charging capacitors and filaments also. Thanks for the comments.
@@bigcbradio Thank you, by the way, the xfmr and rectifiers were all in a big tub of mineral oil for cooling. And the beam voltage was 32kv. Very dangerous to work on, even when it's off.
@@KA9DSL Dangerous is an understatement at those voltages. I have been zapped many times, everything from your ordinary car ignition coil to 240ac house, but the worst ever was from a capacitor in an old ceiling fan that had been removed from the ceiling for a month! As crazy as that sounds, I was taking the fan apart for who knows what now, but as I took it apart the capacitor got me from hand to hand thru both arms and across the chest. Seems silly since the cap was about the size of a D battery and it was just a 110v fan, but my muscles were sore for a week. It was one heck of a firm contraction. I was holding the fan up with my left hand and had the wire cutters in my right, and when I cut into a wire..... Snap! Since that day I don't mess around with anything without thinking first.
