Help! HTX-100 Squelches on CW
Hi. I bought a used Radio Shack HTX-100. When I press the CW button, the
radio squelches and only extremely strong signals 'almost' break the squelch. Sounds like the squelch minimum setting istoo high. Can anyone help? Please reply to . Thanks! N3CNR |

N3CNR You can probably get enough information from the Radio Shack web site and its library of online manuals for their products to make the appropriate adjustment to the internals. Just FYI.... The HTX-100 is a pretty decent radio, too. I had one back in the late 80s. A buddy of mine and I used to drive in to work at Ashton-Tate in Torrance, CA -- same time of day but way different routes so we couldn't carpool -- and yakked on 10m USB on the way in. Tim had a trimmed-down 102" CB whip on his car, while I had a base-loaded mag-mount CB antenna from RS trimmed down to work on 10m. One day we were doing the usual bit and a Ukraine station broke in to say hi. Would you believe he had us both S8 there, and we had his signals at a good S7-plus in both mobiles! One of the best darn QSOs I've ever had! Three cheers for the HTX-100! -- -- //Steve// Steve Silverwood, KB6OJS Fountain Valley, CA Email: Web: http://home.earthlink.net/~kb6ojs_steve |
