Make your own Serial Cable for the Uniden Bearcat BC296D. I recently acquired the scanner listed above, sans serial cable. I sent off a note to Uniden asking for information on the cable and where I might get one. Their reply (which took a while) was basically (paraphrasing) "we don't carry it anymore, don't bother us". I attempted to find one on line elsewhere and did succeed but being the cheapskate that I am, I did not want to pay $30 for one. 1 - 9 pin female serial connector. Now for the bad news...

I know it's not anything super neat and special but I figured "what the hey". I asked the guy how much and was shocked when he didn't want an arm and a leg for it. It's not in this picture but when I opened the top there was a cord inside. Not sure if it was from this radio as it did not match the cord wires coming out the back. I didn't find any cracked or burned resistors. no blown or split capacitors. no sign of anything singed. I replaced the power cord. Oh right, ANTENNA! Links to this post. Officer...

Robert's Tech blog.: Antique Radio Isolated Power Supply
http://robert.guildig.org/2015/07/antique-radio-isolated-power-supply.html
Antique Radio Isolated Power Supply. A couple years ago when I got in to this hobby, I wanted to free up some bench space taken up by my Dim bulb Tester, a volt meter, variac, and other devices. I wanted them to fit in a single cabinet. This is the first drawing I did in Autocad 2002. I began collecting the needed parts for it. Here are most of the parts needed to assemble the device. I painted the piece gloss black. This is the case to the B&K 1076. Some pictures of the inside wiring. News of The Weird.

Robert's Tech blog.: Westinghouse H126 "Little Jewel" Refrigerator radio
http://robert.guildig.org/2015/07/westinghouse-h126-little-jewel.html
Westinghouse H126 "Little Jewel" Refrigerator radio. I bought this several months ago and shotgun recapped it, since almost all the paper caps were split open. The guy who owned it was a "TRF man" and did not know anything about regenerative radios. It worked fine for about 5 minutes or so, then started acting up, with garbled audio and only being able to sort of tune one station, but when you would stop moving the tuning dial it would lose the station or at least that's what it sounded like. I also made...

Cheap Small Portable Generators. There are many small very cheap 2 cycle portable generators that you can buy. They are sold under several makes and models:. Chicago Electric 66619 from Harbor Freight 800 to 900 watt. And many many more. Many of these have one thing in common, they are cheap crap/utter turds. They all look pretty much like this:. But these turds can be polished. If you buy one of the above generators (or one like them), before you start it up I recommend the following:. Re-assemble the g...
