I have the same radio restored it and it is the best radio I've ever owned, also the mobile cp-300 with matching power supply. I have a second cpi cp-2000 in the process of being restored just waiting on capacitors the axials are getting harder to find.

"we only show radios that work" that got me to instantly sub

Used to have this exact radio until it developed some strange issue. Had for over 10 years. Was a helluva rig! W2FKN

Excellent demo and explanation!

Very high power for that period compared to small car devices with barely 2 W and poor modulation. High sensitivity. Excellent CB radio. Real.

Great video. I would have liked to a see CW demo but still a fantastic demo. I believe this was the transmitter in the bombers paired with the BC-348 I. The early part of the war and eventually replaced with the ART-13. I have a BC-348-R. It’s a single conversion with 2 RF staged before the mixer and 3 IF stages after the mixer at a freq of 915 for the IF. The CW key used in the bombers with this transmitter was the J-5-A flame proof and I have one in absolute mint condition. 73!!

Great video, thanks. :)

Curious.....where is the memory battery located?

The little link wire is called a Dogbone. It would be great if I could chat with you about this as I may have spares and assist you. :) Great video mate.. So I take it you don't have your Radio transmit HAM licence yet as you are using dummy loads. Also may I ask where did you get it from? You do have a nice set up. :)

Fab radio, just waiting for my delivery of the 2995 do c 👍🙏

I would have thought high impedance was low current high voltage and vice versa

Such a cool radio

What a jewel! Congratulations. 73

This is still a classic and a workhorse. I still use mine daily.

Interesting - I used to have an Icom R-9000 HF receiver, and that had a very similar look - it had less controls on the left side, but the CRT and the stuff on the right was pretty much identical. I wonder how much of the same platform the units shared.

Thank you for the info on those latches! Got a bunch coming this way and a cadre of Icoms waiting to be made whole again.

still have mine, I bought it and a little silver eagle 200 back in the stone age, everything still works like new. would never get rid of this setup, works like a champ.

Can I order just the board and use my own custom enclosure?

Nice reveiw. You wouldnt happen to remember the manufacturing date from serial plate, my late 81 model is just the standard setup, would have been nice to find out when digital switching came in.

I remember when this radio came out. Back in the late '80s, when the FCC totally revamped the rules and created the novice voice class that allowed novice operation on a small segment of 10 meters. That's when I got my novice license, but I immediately got my technician license, bypassed 10 meters, and went straight to 2 meters. Radio Shack later came out with a 2 meter handheld, the HTX-202, but never had a 2 meter mobile.

The caveats with this generation of radios, and I own a Yaesu FT-225RD, are these: No built-in CTCSS. If your local repeater is on tone squelch you're not going to be able to talk through it. No memory channels. The radio is controlled by the VFO. No scanning feature. If you want to scan the band prepare to spin the big knob! Low power. Most of these put out only 10 watts, as it was common practice for them to be used with a linear. If you have no technical skills, don't buy one. After 40+ years they will require some attention and the OEMs and radio shops won't touch them due to the age. But if you can live with all that... you can get a very good price on them at hamfests. Happy hunting!

Alguien me puede orientar o recomendar un técnico o ingeniero que revise mi tranceptor tempo one. No transmite, tiene buena recepción (al oprimir el ptt la aguja del TX. De va hacia atrás. Gracias

I had the 2001 (FCC). Boy did I dream about the 7001 !!!

… hello - great video! Amazing find! Can you sell me 4 or 6 of these for my IC-202? … Fraser, U.K.

Version T is 100 or 10W on 6 m band ?

I remember seeing these on boats in the Gulf of Mexico in the 80s.

SG-2000사용자 입니다,다이얼식 앞패널구입할수있는 방법이 있나요?

Who cares,if was 1969 thats will be interestant

THIS GUY DID THE 11METER MOD AND ALSO THE (LSB) MOD AMAZING czcams.com/video/AAi6DdWbZlI/video.html ALFRED NYC

THIS GUY DID THE THE LSB AND 11METER BAND MOD ON THE SAME RADIO , HE TOOK UP TO ANOTHER LEVEL czcams.com/video/AAi6DdWbZlI/video.html

Setting dimmer🙏🙏🙏

Wow! Began my electronics career at Pearce Simpson. Fresh out of technical school 1979 till it folded in 1983. The Guardian was obsolete by then but I did work with the vhf marine units and depth sounders. Great experience for a young tech at the time. Thanks for the video.

I am in the process of restoring an IC-502 and would like to know if you would sell me a set of these latches? Thanks jim WA1UWX

Any idea what one of these is worth or would cost 'today?' (March 2024) And availability?

That is an exceptionally nice trans.. is there something you're going to keep or sell it.. them are sought after radios they're really really unique well put together.. great demonstration by the way keep up the good work...

I would like one of these. No idea how many were produced ? My Uniden 640 pro e died so? Something like this size perfect for my pick up.

You can use 151.4 Hz tone, some decoders are wide enough for that to decode the 150Hz tone.

I used the 106 up until 1992, while in the Army 20 years.

Now I just need to find one for my plane.

Gosh I used to want one of these so bad back in the day.

I was a radio operator (05b20) instructor in 1967-8 at Ford Huachuca, AZ. We had the GRC-19 on the bench for training until the summer of '68 when we got some mid 20 count GRC-106 sets to start teaching. I helped set up the lab but transferred out of instructor duty before it was complete. I thought his was was much better than the GRC-19 in my experience.

Communications Power Inc. was a subsidiary of the Gulf and Western Industries conglomerate during the 1960s and 1970s. Gulf and Western Industries, founded by Charles Bluhdorn, was a diversified conglomerate with interests in various industries, including entertainment, manufacturing, and commercial communications. CPI was part of Gulf and Western's portfolio during that period, a commercial grate 11 meter radio with components typically found in the commercial two-way radio world. That’s the reason many of the CPI radios today still perform well, 40+ years after they were made.

im trying to find one

witch antenna you using.. you have excellent reception

Nice Radio

got 100+ of them, allso 2SC1307, grey one. Good video!

Ah yes, the old 40-channel Hy-Gains. I converted several to 10-meter FM back in the day. Forget the procedure for the band conversion, but I sourced the FM front-end kits from Bob Heil. Didn't know the 2SC2166 prices had risen above a dollar so I just checked eBay - the first 2166 I ran across was listed for $84. Good grief! You performed a good test for confirming authenticity of the replacement transistor, but shouldn't it be possible to compare the replacement using a transistor checker for equivalent values, especially the hfe?
