CB Radio: President Grant AM SSB needs help.

Sat, 10 Jan 2026 00:24:28 -0700

I have a President Grant 40 channel. AM SSB. It appears to be recieving as it sounds like it when antenna is connected. It has a external VFO. Antenna is nice at 27mhz. Its new to me and I havent had the back of yet. Questions.

What exactly is my VFO for?

My signal strength needle does not seem to work,does not move much?

My select switch could be bad as I have LSB but it is dead quiet on AM and USB

The radio come with a small kenwood mic, which did not work, another new CB mike I had here seems to work. The light comes on when triggered. The VFO has an on off switch, do you think I will ever use it? When it triggers the signal meter shows a small movement.

The signal meter rises up with modulation when I key the mic and speak.

Radio: Channels dropping out vintage KLH-200 radio

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 17:22:55 -0700

Hi, I recently picked up a vintage (1985) KLH radio so I knew it would need cleaning. I cleaned all the pots which reduced crackling, but now I still get left or right channels dropping out constantly. When I touch the aux switch it will briefly fix everything but it drops out quickly (i tried to clean it but it'll need some disassembly.) Any advice would be appreciated.

DAB Radio: Kenwood CR-M10DAB, defective PCBboard

Sat, 23 Aug 2025 08:49:02 -0700

Hello. I have a Kenwood CR-M10DAB radio that was incorrectly powered with a higher voltage. The only problem seems to be an integrated circuit "U5", which burned out, the printing on this component is no longer visible and I have not found a wiring diagram or other details to replace the integrated. Can someone who has this device help me with the component code or a diagram! Thanks!

Satellite Radio: Sirius Sportster R stuck on logo after overheating

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 01:14:56 -0700

My Sirius Sportster R, which has lifetime activation, overheated after being left on overnight. It was hot to the touch. After cooling down, it now turns on but is stuck on the Sirius logo screen. I am unable to send it to Sirius XM for repair due to the lifetime activation. What could be the cause of this issue, and how can I troubleshoot or repair it?

BOSE Wave Music System CD Player FM AM Radio AWRCC1: Why wont my system do anything?

Sat, 01 Feb 2025 19:18:34 -0700

I have a bose sound system model awrcc1. The screen stays on and shows the time, but that's about it. When you press the aux button on the remote, the time gets brighter for a second and then goes normal again, the power button dosent do anything, and all the other buttons do the same thing, making the screen go black. If you press the am/fm button, sometimes it will display a frequency, then go Black for a second, then go back to the time. If you press any other buttons, it will just go Black for a second and then go back to the time.
