Where is the best place to buy the ferrite core adjustment tools?, i am fed up with buying cheap plastic ones that don't last 2 minutes.
Aliexpress do the ceramic ones i use , they very cheap.
@@MicroChipz ok thank you, i will have to see if my old Aliexpress account is still working!!.
Another one saved, well done
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice rig I wish I could have got into that container mate well done on the repair great video sa always
Same pal , i would have had a field day in there .
Looks like a barracuda
It does.
Lovely! I thought it was the 131 board was in the 320 not the 125 must have a look at mine you never know? great video and to get some tidy cases for your other rig very nice.
125/131 basically the same thing, interesting for me is a ssb board just fitted with am/fm parts.
Зпсем делать корпус для нормального устройства? В корпусе длинные кабели и лни вносят искажение сигнала и затухание.
You mention waking up the circuit with a bit of voltage. I'm assuming more than 12V and +to+ and -to- polarity. Nice video.
Just wake it with a charge voltage. thanks for watching.
That’s a nice radio plenty of features to play with it looks great and from the video it sounds really good too top video as always mate
A bit expensive tho, but yeh it performs well.
Great little radio another one from the cybernet stable of fine radios congrats on the repair another one saved from the bin top video as always mate
Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing , it looks like a really nice transceiver , it's just the price more then anything , I've just purchased an Alinco HF Transceiver DX-SR9 boxed in mint condition from Martin Lynch , it is an old radio now but it's as new in operation & condition , the price was £399 , so it's not that much more then the president & the Alinco DX-SR9 is a proper ham radio with a 12 month warranty , so in comparison I would say that in all fairness there's alternatives for the price of the president Washington , that being said the President Washington looks like a beautiful radio & I'm sure there will be a certain amount of people that will purchase this radio to own in their collection , it's just it's unlikely they will be flying off the shelves like the CRT 9900 & all the rest of the run of the mill radios .
It seems to have mixed reactions from people, personally its 40 years to modern for me, but that being said it performs real well and i enjoy using it . Back to a cybernet next week tho ;)
Thanks for the video Graham I could do with a coffee too 😂 Cheers Dave
Thanks for watching .
@@MicroChipz No problem, I've owned mine now for a couple of months, no issues at all with it
You said 16 amps draw no way maybe 10-12 and I don't like how president claims 80+Watts pep they only do upto 70-75 pep .false advertising. I have one
You should at least look at the user manual before posting your professional report it clearly states 12 amps draw. And 80+pep that president claims is clearly misleading .
My reading was based on what my 30a power supply meter showed me , on FM full power its bang on 12 Amp on ssb its peaking above the 16 Amp reading. My video is far from professional , just what i found at the time , sorry it was not to your liking ,
No 12 amp modulation peak. Your psu is giving you a false reading. But your the expert @@MicroChipz
The am receive on these radios is horrendous. On the flip side though, the sideband receive is tremendous.
Yes the SSB rx is real good :)
i had exactly the same problem in my president lincoln 1 . Excellent SSB but very bad receive in AM.
I had one in my basket last week and last minute i decided against it, seeing this video has tempted me again. 😂
Its expensive for what it is.
the high s meter reading anoys the hell out of me on all these types of modern radios , i notice you are a EK member , howdy from 108EK888
Thanks for watching fellow EK :)
Nice set other than the annoying roger beeps.
At least they can be turned off, and that annoying key beep.
still think a yaesu 891 is a better radio then this.
Ya think?
Completely different type of radio
@@garyiow8482 president is an expensive cb. yaesu ft 891 is far superior having more bands 100 watts output fans already fitted processor better filtering the list just goes on.
@@ukm6yik69 not really president claim its a 12/10 meter ham radio but we know it a expensive cb radio.
Not too dissimilar to the CRT SS-6900V7 PCB?🤔 I think the CRT or Maas equivalent is better value for money and costs less.
I never had one , maybe I should try :
Pity about the s9 of phantom signal as with all these new Chinese radios.
I get a high noise floor at home anyway :(
@@MicroChipz I've s7 all day and night times rises to s9 .10 db
Can you put a NATO beep in mine 😂
No, but you can programme the 6900 with a tone of 2100Hz for 250ms.😉
Thank you for this! The parts I got from aliexpress (including the bottom pads), and the video instructions are very clear, I really enjoy my Razer Naga Trinity again, cheers mate!
Glad it helped.
the Browning golden eagle ping...nice old valve CBs
Friend of mine has one of these it sounds superb on FM after the mod.
I've got one. It was my dad's he bought it back in 1981. He talked to people all over the world on usb/lsb. I remember all it had done was the beep beep put on the anl switch. I wonder what its worth?
Well going off ebay prices at least 150 maybe more if good condition.
i must be one of the very few if i get a older radio with uk muppets i take it out
Fair enough , it’s not for everyone , at least with my board there is no cut tracks and totally reversible .
@@MicroChipz i didnt mean it in a bad way towards your work i just hate the uk muppet band , all those chs to choose and most sit on 19 and dont move
@@Triple888jim correct it annoys me as well , I didn’t take it the wrong way :)
Mine is a virgin 😂😂😂
Recap my 138 xlr please 🙏 😅😅😅
Why does it need recap ? If it works leave it .
Absolutely brilliant video
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi good afternoon, i have the same tuner but when my radio have the preamp on its do not tune, any suggestions. Thanks 73's.
He did not say anything good in this film. There is nothing about how to connect about the power supply requirements. The configuration is also wrong because the row of diodes is too long and leads to flickering. If someone wants to do it right then look for other videos that explain it better.
4:03 Finger fungus! 🤮🤢
Tasty.
Very nicely done.
Thank you very much!
Another fine old radio lives to fight another day
It is :)
When is the on air test happening? Wonder how it performs round scratchy corner 😅😅
Not sure what you mean about "scratchy corner" ?
Wrong channel bud...
@@MicroChipzUk CB servicing when Richard does on air tests
Right, i don't watch his stuff.
how to switch between main and backup bios plz? is there a switch in the motherboard itself? or from bios interface screen?
In this board it’s a switch
@@MicroChipz thank you so much
@@MicroChipzI just finished updating the main and backup bios, everything went well so far. Thank you!
Is it possible to use the signal generator and oscilloscope at the same time with this device? On the one hand, should we apply the frequency device with the signal generator and on the other hand, see the result simultaneously with the oscilloscope?!
Por favor me podrias indicar donde conectar mi frecuecimetro para ver la fecuencia en tx y rx?? Gracias por todo muy buen canal enhorabuena. Mi placa es la pb010ab 360 fm.
Tp3
please could you tell me what type of meter to by for this project
I thnk i used a 50ua or 100ua meter
Freq high, may have had a new crystal as these don't have a trimmer.
Little man does such soothing videos on CB it's always nice to watch. And the 777 is one of my favourites.
Thanks
Picked one of these up a few weeks ago, managed to get the receiver side working still no transmit as yet ..
Check the diode behind the audio amp next to the metal shield , it looks like a bead , should have 13v on it , or maybe your rf output has gone ?
Thank you for the reply, it’s been a bit of a mission to be honest, I picked it up in a job lot of a have ago hero . The new caps I ordered turned up today so I have just spent the last few hours scratching my head with it and when I started swapping them over one was actually in backwards ! ... so after swapping it over and a few other parts later all sorts of magical things started to happen . I now have pa and audio , new tx light is working and have 12v all the way up to d13 but unfortunately it does look like the finals .. is there anywhere that you recommend to get a new replacement it has the original C103 in it , there are so many bad copy’s out there . Regards mark .
cricklewood electronics may have some
Looks like cross between Ham Concorde and a York 863!
Was a interesting radio for sure.
Should of had mine done when you had it
nice radio great repair - is this the same board in the Jumbo 3 ? The green frequency counter you use doesn't come over very well on video just an observation.
Thanks , yes same board as a jumbo 3 , mm3 . Yeh i know the green counter has issues in filming , maybe i'l try a red one again see how that looks , i just use that counter as a quick test , any serious alignment is done on my proper counter .
Excellent
Thanks
any diagram for the board? please.
Uniden 200 schematic is freely available , a search should lead you to one .
@@MicroChipz no sorry, your board diagram please, i've looked all over the internet and nothing like yours. thanks
@@theDaftman its just the piggy back on a board , no other difference.
Great guide! I have a cheap solder iron from ali, I can set the temp on it ( hope it's accurate) what kind of temp should I be using to try and take them out? and what kind of temp to solder the pins back in? Thank you !!
350c should do it.
do you take in radios for modification with your pcb..? im only in wigan
you can mail me , details are in the channel description , depends on what radio and what board .
Either a 148gtl dx or ss360fm. I'm looking for one to buy at the moment when I find right one.
A beautiful nice condion radio...sorted 😀😀😀
Indeed it is!
Anyone have a service manual for these? Mine needs a tune up.
There is a schematic available , should be able to work what needs aligning from that.
