    Great video. Very informative. If you look at the unit you can clearly see the letters and numbers that he is stating. Was able to hook up the board in less than 30 minutes very helpful. Thank you. Keep up the videos.

    i agree. thats what i would do ,i do not use the delta tune but i do use the rf gain to drop noise level.

    Check to make sure the wires soldered to the echo knob aren't grounding on another knob's casing. Also make sure the knob casing itself isn't grounding on anything. This happened to me with my 29 ST and caused the same buzz. Also check all solder points to make sure they aren't cold soldered and weak connections. Hope this helps!

    Thanks for that tute! However, what would be a good 'guesstimate' to set the two adjustable pots to on the TRB X2?
    I don't have a Delta Tune switch and as you pointed out, the RF gain would be the next choice in your opinion. I'm not so sure I want to do that but I forget how often, and for what did I use that RF Gain switch years ago when I drove TT OTR/48.
    I have the same radio except it's the Cobra 29 NW LTD Classic. So I guess they put the Dimmer switch where the Delta Tune switch would go. I'm going to read-up on the usefulness of the RF Gain switch. I may install it in the back of the radio if I have the room.
    I had echo/reverb installed by a tech in a Terra Haute truck stop so I don't really know what he did. The way most of us had our echo set was to a reverb effect with a "short defeat" setting. It would sound like your in a tunnel with a mild amount of reverb in the background.
    It makes the radio sound "Big" which is a 'thing' among truckers.
    Thanks again,
    Rich

    I tried installing one of these last night in my 148GTL. I didn't understand what was meant in the instructions by "unsolder the audio line from the microphone jack". I didn't see this wire, but clipped what I though it was and soldered the audio output lead from J1 to the "removed" wire from the audio line. The radio didn't transmit, I ended up touching the wire back to the microphone jack (where I clipped it) and it would transmit, but the echo would not work. Not sure what I'm doing wrong :(

    I have a realistic deskmic and I'd like to remove the amplifier board and install the trbx3 in its place.
    Does the trbx3 have built-in preamp?
    If so I was thinking of using the realistic slider for the preamp level.
    Could I run the board off a 9V battery?
    Do you think it would work?

    On this radio, I would put the control in the spot for Delta Tune. On a 29 NW LTD, I'd set the dimmer where I want it, tape it up inside, and put the echo control in that spot (I think it's the same location on both radios, because the NW doesn't have Delta Tune.

    Had to past this here
    A thing or two about internal echo boards....
    If you are the one of several thousand people who have internal echo boards installed inside your CB radio and the controls are located outside the CB , this little article is for you . I have to be quite direct about this and do not want to offend any CB repair shop but I constantly get radios with echo boards that are just dropped into the radio with bubble wrap , black tape , sandwich bags , I have even had them wrapped in foil . If your tech does not understand how to install your echo board the CORRECT way then hand him a copy of this article as a guideline to help him along .
    First of all , remember to always use 8 volts for the supply and make sure it is regulated . I see them hooked up to ---->>{12 volts}

I got a deal on 20 of these for 50 bucks and have done some crazy mods to some that make me sound like a robot or have a low or high pitched voice.

    Properly adjusted echo actually makes you easier to understand. I know that sounds weird but it's true and that's why most drivers use it.

    • @Radionut
      @Radionut 9 років тому +1

      I will have to disagree on your statement. Echo makes you sound funky. I'm sure you've heard people out there that run far out of control and sound like poopoo

    • @foghornnosehorn8383
      @foghornnosehorn8383 5 років тому

      1969Charger4401969 You are correct. I run a Galaxy 99 and I always have my echo set so low you really don't notice it. It's just like a slight delay in an electric guitar tone, it doesn't get all crazy out of control runaway repeats but just enough to enhance your sound.

  • @matt9c1
    @matt9c1 6 років тому

    I am not sure why someone would take a CB with already crappy AM audio, and make it sound totally unintelligible by adding a echo board. The purpose of a CB is to communicate from one device to another. When you add this shit to a radio, it makes the other radio not be able to understand a word you are saying, thus making communication impossible. Kind of like having 4WD with bald tires then wondering why you can't go anywhere in the snow. Kinda dumb.
