I used regular spray paint without any metal particles. I chose a nice dark green to camouflage from my nosy neighbor. It was up for years.

This is a GREAT radio! I've used one for over 20 years now.

Why is you needle stuck to the right for it isn’t even moving

Which antenna are you using?

U dont really show wat u doing

Let me tell you why i know it is b.s. Have you ever used fm radio and an amplifier. Bam. Now you know. Go and figure it out.

Does Chirp retrieve the first 2 freq names?

are you getting better results with your homade pvc dipole or the antron ?

Do you do the same for a vertical CB 11 meter antenna ?

Thanks for the video..what way do you turn to increase the power

I installed a cb radio for my Autistic son and the noise and hiss was terrible so i put a few clamp on ferrite beads and helped very little! I put my oscilloscope on the power supply and the dc ripple??? Lol. Subbed and liked cheers from Australia ❤

I want to add a bypass capacitor to the output connectors to cut some of the noise out from the PS... but I don't know what size to use.... or what value to use on the cap... anyone have verifiable information as to what value range of capacitor I can use? I see output is supposed to be <150mv RMS....certainly don't want to blow up these damn power supplies.

Hi, thanks for share. I found in trash this cb radio and trying restored. Dou you have schematic?, could you share?

can the antenna be made smaller ???

Nice radio... Good choice...

Great timing... Im doing a bit of a tune-up to my President Washington at this time... Im gonna copy your upgrade for my meter light... Looks clean and is a nice upgrade! Nice job! 73 de KF4LBG "Saltshaker 762"

Fantastic job Ridghiker. Have a safe and Sane 4th celebration! UDX-4570 Palm Springs saying 73's for now!🤠👍⚡️🎙

Great descriptive video Ridge! Always looking forward to your next video.

Nicely done! Happy 4th from up the Hill.

Pretty nice and bright.

Happy 4th of July to my American subscribers! I'm very pleased how the end results came out. The original video I had created had only one LED installed but I wasn't pleased with the results. I went back and reedited the video using 2 LED lights and the results were much better.

I'd rather have an ugly duckling than a handsome corpse. I bet you were surprised when the old girl worked so well. KR66

Came out pretty good myself I run a 1983 cobra 2000. I sent it out. I wanted it recap. My tech told me the caps are not bad do not replace them. The ones from China are not worth a damn. I had it professionally aligned in tune the old radios get it on. he also made a video of it going through the radio. it’s out here on UA-cam .73 my friend.

This radio and the Retevis RT95 are the same radio. The RT95 is currently on the Amazons with an additional coupon for just over $100.

Good job ! I’m a big fan of keeping the classic radios alive . I just had a Yaesu FT101E refurbished. I’ll be picking it up in two days and I can’t wait to get it on the air .

I never hear that clown, must be in the Arizona area or maybe New Mexico???very very rarely do I catch any skip from those areas.

At about the time you just mentioned, I start to receive the Australian skip rolling in, but lately it's been really really quiet. UDX-4570 Palm Springs wavin 👋🤠⚡️🎙

Congrats, you've got a nice keeper there. Just in case you'ld like to know, that one has the same exact board as the Cobra 142gtl, a Craig L-232 and certain Tram bsae rig which I forgot the model. 73....

Congratulations on recovering this radio. Now I am going to have to get a CB radio and see if I can get over the Hill and say hi! Happy Summer!

Looking forward to hear how this goes.

A few shots of Deoxit here and there. Some contact cleaner and simple green should bring it back!😏👍⚡️🎙 UDX-4570 Palm Springs wavin 👋🤠

Cool project. Best of luck. Keep us posted. Thanks.

Get some ground wire and ground it to a metal pipe or pole That will also protect your shed from lightning.

I had this antenna It's an Antron 99 Base CB antenna You don't need to worry about your SWR it's already set.It's very well built If I could afford it I'd buy another one.This antenna will send your signal out where no other antenna has gone before.Last time I had one up about 20 feet in the air I talked close to 100 miles on a 4 watt Barefoot CB Mobile radio.I've never transmitted that far out on any other Base CB Antenna.

Awesome job!! Like I said on your first video I have parts if you need anything don’t hesitate to ask 73

Oh my, it's been through some rough care😢.

Very neat . I used to have this amazing cb base station long ago. I had it tweeked and etc. I miss my cb radio. Thank you so much for sharing this and God bless Oh I had a D104 microphone with it. Hope you can get it fixed up

nice old rig.. ya the skip kinda dead here too, Lk Texoma area. just a little bit on lsb 38 like u had, but real weak. although sometimes Jamaica comes in pretty strong. need the skip to come back! ☮

Don’t get any grafted from that pencil on that bosrd

Will this work for uhf aswell sorry new to this

You never know what is in the case till you crack it open. Some of the worst looking radios I've fooled with cleaned up well and worked, while some others. good looking, were hacked on and really messed up by the previous owners. If this radio hasn't been cobbled up by hackers you have a good shot at repairing it. KR66 James

Looking forward to seeing the finished work. My buddy Popcorn does all of his videos with same base.

73s😅

Yes this will make a good series and I certainly hope you did not get burned.

Good luck Ridge - quite a gamble!

I have parts of one you can have no problem 73

Get a meter and watch your rma power swing backwards at that high of a dead key into that amp. You are totally forgetting about average power (which is usually what fries amps along with I high dead key). Bet it looks horrible on proper equipment. Been using RM Italy amps for years and talk all over the world. On my 203p 25watt dead key, 50-60watts average, 100-125watts PEP. Depending on the radio. But I keep them close as possible to the 1-4 ratio. Hope you don't fry it

Set the dead key to 2 watts, it will swing to 17 watts on Ssb

Take all the foam out of the mike! Then the mike will be a talker. Mine is noisy in my truck needs dc filtering on 12 volts line
