    Microphone Wiring (Turner +3 to Uniden Washington)

    Thanks for your help with this one. I have a Turner Plus Three microphone with 3 conductors (red, black, white, plus the shield) that I'd like to connect to a Uniden Washington (5-pin ). The original materials for the Turner say black and red are for control switching, white is the signal (hot)...

    Uniden Washington help

    I recently picked up a Uniden Washington that seems to work fine, other than a popping noise that occurs over the speaker anytime a switch is used. It's heard when the channel is switched, but seems loudest when the knob is turned between am, lsb, and usb. Also when the unit is turned on. It...

    Coax type for 11 m dipole

    Is RG58 fine to use for an 11 m dipole lead (no amp used, so no more than about 15 Watts on SSB), with a run of about 50 feet in an attic? Or do I need to use something like RG8X. Or, what other type would you recommend. Trouble is my only cable source in town for RG8X is really expensive, so I...

    Dipole questions

    I'm fairly new to radio so thanks for your help. I installed a cb in my pickup last year, and now I'd like to use my second ssb cb as a base station at home. Rather than mounting a vertical antenna, like an Antron or Imax type, I'd first like to experiment with a simple dipole, that I'll either...

    Portable Telescoping Pole Setup Help

    Looking for a telescoping pole setup for temporary applications at home or on the road. Currently it'd be used with a 1/2 or 5/8 wave CB/10 m vertical antenna, then for ham in the future. I'd like something that doesn't need to be guyed, or only maybe 1 set of guys that can be done in a pinch...

    Need help identifying mods--pics attached

    Attached are pictures of a Uniden Grant LT I recently picked up. The owner didn't know the history of any mods that might have been done. The inside revealed what looked to be two modifications, but I'm a newbie and I don't know for sure, there may be more, or this might just be stock stuff. One...

    Underdash mount help-03 Silverado

    Hi all. I am mounting a cb in my 2003 Silverado and prefer to mount it under dash center, under the center cubby and ashtray area. Most of that area is plastic, except for a narrow band of thin support metal farther underneath. There are two existing screws about 8 inches apart on the metal...
