SBE Console Six (VI)
LATEST from FACEBOOK Feed CBRadioAction
Just received a message from great friend 43AX055 Peter Newman who has been enduring a lot of pain over the last year or so and dropped out of sight after importing a few containers of classic CB Radios mid 2019.
Pete Says " I hopefully have teleconference with Dr and Pain clinic on the 30th. Hopefully I’ll be up and at it shortly after if new meds work okay. I also need another Cortisone injection in right elbow after new meds are okay as the lab is set up for right hand work with the Pace solder station. Desoldering kills my elbow without cortisone only get about 15 minutes then rest of day off recovery. If it doesn’t improve this time then I’ll have to give the game away and sell up. The meds keep me asleep a lot so that’s why no FB or messenger as it takes so long to reply."
Well it was a long time between drinks so to speak after selling my SBE Sidebander VI I had over 20 years ago. Brenton posted it for sale on FB but I only saw it after someone else confirmed to buy it. BUT lucky for me they decided to to go ahead so I jumped in immediately and paid quick smart for it. Actually dont think it was this one but another he had as the knobs on mine dont have the clear black line. Anyway happy to have one again and it works as expected which is very well!

Loss of all transmit is just one of the common symptoms caused by one shorted tiny filter capacitor. Another one will kill all receiver audio, and another will kill all mike audio, but still show you a dead carrier on AM transmit

DUAL DDRR C0-Phased Citizens Band HF Antenna Array
In layman’s terms a DDRR is just a short vertical monopole (vertical post) attached to a transmission line tuned by a reactance (ring plus vacuum capacitor). The reactance of the capacitor is transformed by the transmission line and will under specific conditions (length, value of the capacitor, etc.) make the vertical post resonant. Slight variations of the capacitor will lengthen or make the transmission line “shorter” and allow tuning of the antenna on a certain range.
