I have a buddy that wrecked his motorcycle in October and will be having knee surgery that will take 6-9 months to recover. I'm wondering if anyone nearby would be willing to help setup a base station for him. I'd happily pay for everything including some gas and time. It would be a 32 hour...

Prior to last week I had probably only cut 4 cords of pine in my life. A buddy of mine told me he found some oak and I'm thinking cool, you found a few trees. I finally go to help him and find a pile of at least 300 cord of oak. One thing led to another and I am picking up an 11k pound mini...

It appears that my HOA is going to inadvertently allow antennas up to 36" in diameter, but states no "towers." I don't like the idea of wire antennas because I'm sure they will change the covenants after they figured out they messed up. I'm certain that any replacement antennas would be...

This 2995 seems to work ok except the mic gain needs to be on 10 with an xtreme 2018 mic. Any idea what might cause this, or where to start looking?

I've been messing with the antenna system on my pickup for a while now. It's been pretty frustrating because it seems like none of my results align with anything I thought I knew. The vna would say one thing, and the meter would say another. I chased my tail for a while adding chokes and a...

I'm working on a 695015BR ranger board and I have a tip36 in stock. The tip36 is often compared to the max-mod, and the max-mod is an acceptable replacement for the 2sb754. If this is ok, is this a drop in, or will other adjustments need to be made due to the additional current available...

Is there any measurable negative effect of voltage fluctuations that are common in a mobile environment? I can swing 1200 watts with steady modulation and the amp and radio stay pretty steady at 14.1-14.2. When I talk, the charging system can't react fast enough and it will bounce around from...

Just curious to see if anyone here is headed to the rally this year.

My experience with base type antennas is limited to fiberglass verticals, dipoles, and endfeds. I have a steel extendable mast I can mount on my truck to get 30' easily, and I could probably do 40'. I have an a99, but it seems kinda pointless. I considered making a horizontal dipole so I...

Working on a mobile 8 pill install and figured I'd share some pics so y'all can tell me how I should have done it lol. I'm still waiting on my bonding stuff to arrive next week, but I want my headliner back in. Amp ground wire crimped, soldered, butyl wrapped and covered with tape. Added...

Anyone know anything about 307 Amps? Jim Mcknabb in Gillette, WY?

I'm considering playing radio in the mobile again, but I don't enjoy that without 100+ watts. I'm completely done with exports and other junk like texas star. It seems like these HG's are doing ok now, but I really haven't kept up on the subject. I have also never operated an amp from a...

Does anyone know where to find a timer switch that upon activation from a momentary on will supply switched power for a predetermined time, then switch itself off?

Does anyone have the index for Reflections II? The book says it can be downloaded, but the website listed is no good. I know I can search a pdf of the book, but sometimes I just dont want to sit in front of a pc.

I'm going to be mounting a screwdriver antenna on a gull wing cross bed toolbox. Obviously it will be centered left/right, but does it make any difference if it is centered fore/aft? Would it be better to be further from the cab and have no tool box under the rear of the antenna, or be closer...

I removed the bonding from my old truck that was installed in 2015. This is under the hood, and doesn't look too bad. These 2 are at the bottom back corners of the cab. These were internal star washers. One appears to have 4 shiny spots, and the other has none These are at the cab...

I have an unfinished portion of my cave that I am going to setup as radio desk. I'm looking for any ideas of what I should do before drywall and countertop. I have a 220 outlet beneath the desk for my amp, but I am lacking much 110. I was planning to run another 20 amp 110 circuit, although I...

I am working on installing an ic2730 in the mobile and I dont have any dual band antennas. I read about a wide band comet I think, but I can't recall what it was. What is the highest gain dual band nmo antenna available that isn't junk?

I put radio on the back burner over the winter, mainly because I couldn't figure out how to run an endfed wire across the top of the roof. Looking to run about 50' along a ridge cap. I'd like to play with an amp also, preferably without burning my house down. Any ideas?

I have a transformer that is putting out 14.6vac. I assume I need a bridge rectifier and that I would get something less than 14.6vdc out of it. What would be required to drop the voltage if it isn't close enoughto 12vdc? It is a 2 amp transformer. I am struggling to find relevant info on...
