Spent some time with Clem up at the repeater site yesterday in the wind, rain and bitter cold. Rigged up the a horizontal dipole for 10metre as a stop gap antenna until the issues with 6/10mtr J-pole are resolved. WX cross band repeater was live and also beaconing across 6m and 10m. The repeater has since been shut down as some teething issues became apparent. Clem plans to resolve the bugs in the following days before it can be fully commissioned and left online.

Have a cobra 75 ST CB radio on the bench, it's rather poorly.
Anyhow some images of its giblets I took as there is very little information on the interweb about these SMT compact rigs.

I think the voltage regulator took a hit from and an over voltage supply of 24volts. I am still in the poking around stage.
