    K40 Noise Cancelling vs Barjan vs Diesel

    You can also throw a K40 speech compressor in that mix, if you need one, I have one I can send out to you. Mobile though, I always recommend a 636 or a shure 577b, just hate that background noise.

    Which mobile radio is better??

    Galaxy 959 would be a great choice. A 2 or 4 pill amp would complement it nicely as well. If you only want to do AM, there is the Galaxy 919 and the Magnum S3. If you want just a big ole' radio without an amp that does EVERYTHING, then the Magnum S9 is for you. They even make a 80 and 175w...

    RF Limited CR-577 Mic Review

    Hey Robb, nice finally chatting with you today. When I said 577b mic, you thought I was talking about this new unit, my apologize. I meant the Shure 577b cartridge microphone with true noise cancelling abilities (not just some foam stuffed into the case. Anyways, hope I was sounding nice...

    Mobile Antennas

    Depending on how tall your Civic is (I have an Integra) you might opt for a 66" whip from Wilson instead. It brought my SWR down quite a bit...1.1-1.3 instead of 1.5-1.8. Good investment of $10.

    Wilson 1000 vs. Scorpion SA-680S

    Just wondering, did you happen to see where they mounted that $600+ antenna? In a shitty spot with hardly any ground plane. Looks to me like a scam, or that someone obviously didn't do their research. I'd even bet that the simplicity of a Wilson 1000 (I own and use one) properly mounted...

    Galaxy Dx 959 Help

    Make sure that when you adjust your VR18 that your RF power knob is fully counter clockwise and while adjusting your VR14 the RF power knob is fully clockwise. Where is your mic gain set?

    MAGNUM 257 HP Review

    Nice write up Rob! I was looking to get either this or a rfx75'd cobra 29 for the truck. Now you've made the decision even more difficult. We'll see how the wallet unfolds.

    500w Amp For 95% AM 5%SSB

    Would anyone in San Jose, CA be willing to do these modifications to my chassis for me? I am also sure that the rx/tx align is not perfect, and would probably want that done as well. Thanks again everyone. You guys are definitely saving me money on equipment I don't need like a pre-amp and...

    500w Amp For 95% AM 5%SSB

    Don't worry about posting links. I just spent the last few hours searching for the best prices on these things (sad to say), and found them all. I will be doing all 7 of these changes to my board to help with the future amplifier upgrade. Now I just need someone with better equipment to do...

    500w Amp For 95% AM 5%SSB

    Rob, would you mind posting a link to some of these online sales or possibly doing these modifications for me? I am greatly familiar with this link: The Defpom EPT06960Z Galaxy 949 / 959 modifications And have been told that most of those modifications are actually bad. A swing kit for...

    500w Amp For 95% AM 5%SSB

    500w Amp For 95% AM 5%SSB

    For what I have found, the 636L mic theoretically works perfect for me (have yet to try it out). I have a very loud voice when I talk, and it is consistent, the only thing I needed was excellent noise cancellation, and that is what the 636 was known for. When I talk on CB, I commonly am using...

    500w Amp For 95% AM 5%SSB

    Would a stand alone preamp be better suited, or is it still using the same technology?

    500w Amp For 95% AM 5%SSB

    I've already got it on my to-do list over here. The car isn't with me up here at college though, so I'll have to wait another month to get cracking on these projects. I have foam boards that I use for DJ equipment when I run my laptop, and it is not only great for heat dissipation, but it is...

    500w Amp For 95% AM 5%SSB

    Booty, when you were referring to the 450w was that for the 500v or the 400v? I would think its the 500v due to the 50w overdrive if it was the 400v. On the topic of the granite slab, I only meant that it was a good base to put something on that will not flex and is very tolerable to heat...

    500w Amp For 95% AM 5%SSB

    The 400V or 500v seem right up my alley as far as AB biased amps go. Recommended Drive Input? 1w? 5w? Or just whatever gains a 1:4 ratio of dk to PEP? Needed modifications for 11m use? I have two massive computer fans that are ready to install on any amp. Cooling is covered. Location is on...

    500w Amp For 95% AM 5%SSB

    Thank you for all of you that posted, I figured out what I wanted. Definitely some great suggestions out there, and I am sure that when it comes time to upgrade, I will make the right decision. 73s and hope to hear the locals soon. -Greenteg

    500w Amp For 95% AM 5%SSB

    Absolutely nothing. I'm sticking with what I've got and not falling into this outdated bs. My radio can and has gotten me everywhere I've needed so far, so why join the rather Shivaic style of phallicy with you guys anyways? It is pointless and not part of the hobby that I love - tuning.

    500w Amp For 95% AM 5%SSB

    Good eye on the antenna Rob, it'll be in the front of my moonroof in the center of the car. As for the cable, any reference for power handling capabilities of both the stock Wilson 1000 & the cable you referenced. By the way, the ms500 is likely a class c amp and is less than half the size of...
