Palomar MaxMod
Product Description
FINALLY BACK IN STOCK!!

(Price includes installation.)

Product Description Does the regulator in your radio run hot? Excessive heat from a transistor means the part is undersized for the circuit or that the circuit itself is not very efficient. Changing the radio’s modulation circuit is impossible. But the solution for this problem is the Palomar MAX-MOD Transistor. Palomar is a famous old CB brand name from the USA. The name is owned and used now by EKL Components, the mother company also for Magnum Radio’s and RF Limited Accesories. New in the Palomar program is the MAX-MOD, a special PNP transistor. The MAX-MOD is a replacement and upgrade PNP transistor for the modulation circuit in most radio’s. The MAX-MOD replaces the common 2SB and TIP parts. The MAX-MOD works very well in 10M radio’s, including Stryker, Anytone, Galaxy and President models. The MAX-MOD will give the RF section the current it needs and will increase the peak power by and average of 10% or more. The MAX-MOD has the same lead spacing as the smaller transistors it replaces, making soldering very easy. The MAX-MOD uses a huge TO-3PL package for improved heat dissipation.

FESATURES OF PALOMAR MAX-MOD TRANSISTOR: • High Current / High Power PNP Power Transistor (AM Regulator) • Replaces & Upgrades TIP32 & 36, 2SB688, 2SB754, 2SB817, 2SB827 and other AM Regulator Transistors in CB and Amateur Radios • Supplies Necessary Current Levels for Maximum Modulation • Most Radios See a 10% Increase in Peak Power Levels • Runs 40%* Cooler than Stock Regulators • Massive TO-3PL Package for Improved Heat Dissipation • Comes with Mica Insulator

LesComm Deluxe Ten Turn Clarifier
Product Description
Replaces the Clarifier with a 10 turn precision control. On the DX959 and 2547, adds the LesComm Deluxe clarifier Option for more slide. +/-6KCs.

Due to the size of the 10 turn potentiometer;

On the LC995vXX it replaces the Echo control.

On the LC994v200 & LC998vX00 it replaces the Talkback control. Talkback is moved to the old clarifier position.

TERMS:

YOU ARE REQUIRED TO AGREE TO THESE TERMS IN ORDER TO PURCHASE FROM THIS WEB SITE.

I BELIEVE IN QUALITY BEFORE QUANTITY! (And from the sales I'm receiving, so do you!)

SO IF YOU'RE IMPATIENT, DO NOT ORDER FROM ME!! Let me repeat that, IF YOU'RE IMPATIENT, DO NOT ORDER FROM ME!! I SIMPLY REFUSE TO RUSH MY BUILDS.

Each radio goes through 24 hours minimum of burn-in testing when it's finished. IT WILL BE RIGHT WHEN IT LEAVES MY SHOP!

Normal turn around times;

"Major Custom radio's" 280 to 320 business days.

"Custom/Modified radio's" 45 to 60 business days depending on model.

"Stock/No option radios" are usually 1 to 2 weeks.

Depending on the difficulty of your build or the builds in front of it, this time could be longer.

"Major Custom" in this case means that you have added an option that requires a significant modification(s) to the stock radio that takes more than 3 hours to install. Such as the SP-1a, AD-203, upgrading amp deck, LesComm RCI Noise Filter, etc. are considered Major Custom builds.

"Custom/Modified" examples include LesComm Enhancements, Basic Clarifier mod, Amp Switch, Hi Cut Filter, etc. just to name a few. However if you add a lot of these small upgrades it could move your order to the "Major Custom" category.

"Stock/No option" means just that. These receive only a general tune up.

***Does not apply to Scanners. Scanners ship within 48 hours of purchase.

Customers are taking advantage of the MANY custom options we offer . Depending on the difficulty of your build OR THE BUILDS IN FRONT OF IT, this time could be longer!

There are NO REFUNDS for custom radio, amplifier or power supply orders. NO EXCEPTIONS! NO EXCEPTIONS!

SO BE SURE BEFORE YOU ORDER!

20% restocking fee on "as new, non-customized" radio returns. Radios are built AFTER they are ordered in the order of "payment" received.

AGAIN, THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR RETURNS ON CUSTOM RADIO, AMPLIFIER OR POWER SUPPLY ORDERS, AND KITS, NO EXCEPTIONS. So be sure BEFORE you order!

This is how it works folks. When you place an order for one of our custom radios we immediately (that day) order the necessary parts needed to build that radio including the donor radio, and set them aside for your build. So we have already invested your money in your order. We do this to prevent coming up short of the parts needed because it was discontinued or changed. (Which happens a lot!) I know this is a long time folks. But I'm only one person. I will work as fast as I can, without compromising quality, to get your order out. So as it says above, if you are an impatient person, do not order from me.

YOU ARE REQUIRED TO AGREE TO THESE TERMS IN ORDER TO PURCHASE FROM THIS WEB SITE.

We very much appreciate your business. And to all of my many, many repeat customers a very special thank you. Tells me I'm doing something right! 73 Everybody!
