My S9 rocks
I have a S9 in my van and have been happy with it for the past 3 years. It is one of the best radios on AM and SSB I ever owned. I have it set for a 1 watt dead key and it will swing to 35 watts. I don't use the echo and everyone says I have great audio. I use a handheld D104 mic...
Sorry to hear about the bad Omega Force's some people have received. I have had mine for about 1month now and I am still loving it. Everything is working the way it should . I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I will let this thread know if something does go wrong with mine for sure. :tt1:
Does anyone know anything about Skullkracker amps or Snowcap Technology amps? Are they any good? Or should I stick with names like Fat Boy or X-force? :headbang
Well problem solved folks. I switched radios and put the wilson 2000 on a magnetic mount and things are good. The SWR is down to 1:1 and the RF acts as it should, dead key 4watts and swings to 25watts. I guess the finals on the Cobra 148GTL were picky for that type of install just like QRM said...
QRN, which is the Wilson 2000 showing reactance or capacitive reactance? The funny thing is within a five mile raduis everyone says the signal from both antennas sounds fine. I know something is wrong by looking at the meter. I will try a magnet mount for the Wilson 2000 and see what type of...
Does anybody have an idea why I would get different RF power reading from two different antennas on my mobile? One antenna is a LiL WiL when I key up the dead key shows 3.5-4watts and the swing will be 15watts just like it should. When I hook up my Wilson 2000 mounted on the roof rack the dead...
Has anyone Hooked up a RFX-75 on a Cobra 2000GTL? Since the 148GTL and the 2000GTL have the same board I wonder if this upgrade will work on the 2000GTL?
Thanks for the info
Thanks for all the replies. You have given me a lot of food for thought. I did not think about so much loss in power with the long run. I am going to see if I can make it shorter but If I can't I will look into the better coax like the Heliax. One question about Heliax will...
I am setting up a new antenna and will have to make a 300'+ coax run. What is the best coax to use. Most of the run will be underground. Has anybody used this H00-02006 Altelicon CA-400 Cable from Copper. Is it better than Beldin 213?. I am open to all suggestions. I will be running 1500+...
Actually it was this one not the six radial one. The amp was already hooked up and before I put this on, all I could get out of the amp was 700 watts with 1.15:1 swr. The swr did not change much maybe it went to 1.13:1 now I see 800+ watts. I changed nothing else. The van Is a full sized...
