I have a Magnum Raptor that I got from eBay. It works ok on everything but the high carrier and high peak settings. Recieve is good and low power works good. But when switched to high carrier and peak, it squeels some or just sounds like talking with a mouth full of peanuts. I hooked it up in...

i saw a magnum one for sale on eBay not long ago and the title said"It's back" the new magnum1. Then I saw an update page on cb tricks for 2019 that gives some mod info and other info on it. I'm not seeing any for sale at any online shops other than the one I saw a few weeks back on eBay. So...

For the ones like me that work around the clock and don’t have time or enough money saved to take time off to go to a tech class, cbtricks is a life saver. I’m no tech by any means but I love to get old radios and get em to work and without forums like this and cbtricks, I would still be trying...

Anybody have the alignment procedure for the magnum Raptor and Raptor 2? And is anybody else having problems getting CBTRICKS to pull up?

H i don’t need much more but on some days it just don’t get back to the second truck. Usually 8-10 minutes apart. I was thinking a little more boost and a decent amp and let the amp do the work. Rather save the radio than the amp. I kinda like the radio lol. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Running a Magnum Raptor. High power puts out 80 or so and low around 30. I don’t like to run it on high simply because I’m scared of it getting hot and blowing finals. Been there a couple times. I’d rather run low and let a good little amp do the work but just wasn’t sure...

You’re not getting out 8-10 miles on a mobile unit going through the ozarks without putting out some good numbers. Open country I have no problems, but certain routes we take it just won’t do it. And I’m running a Monkey Made coiled antenna. Pretty good antennas I think. My radio does about 85...

I’m looking at amps on eBay and just wondering if something like a 2 pill would do a couple hundred watts or more. I know I’ve seen some fat boy 3 and 4 pills do 350 or more. There’s a guy that uses a 3 pill and a general lee down the rd from me and and I can hear him clear for about 20 miles...

Anybody have a schematic or factory parts list for a dual final general lee? It came with the mosfet driver and finals but I want to put it back to factory. Tired of blowing finals. I’m guessing the mod wasn’t done correctly or some parts are not compatible with the mosfets and I don’t have...

This radio came new with mosfet finals and driver. Blew finals couple months ago. Had trouble biasing new ones but finally got that figured out. It has the recieve upgrade as well, which doesn’t seem to be better but that’s another story. Anyway I was trying to realign it yesterday and on high...

The Cobra 29 chrome has the YD 1022. You can probably find a few of those on eBay cheap.

You are correct. Started messing around with some old cb radios we had from over the years and got interested in electronics. Trying to find time to take an online course now but it’s hard with my work schedule and kids finishing up college. I read all I can on forums like this and watch a lot...

Thanks guys! That’s 100 bucks I’ll take my wife out to dinner and a movie on.(If we only have one popcorn)have to break out another 20 for 2 lol. Seriously, thank you.

Thank you

Here is the one I was looking at.

I can’t figure out how to save the pic and transfer it on this stupid smart phone. I just went to eBay and typed in rf signal generator in the search bar. It pulls up several of these types on the first page. The best pic is one of the gw instek abouthalf way down the page. There are several...

BNC according to the pic

Anybody use these BK Precision or GW Instek you see on eBay? I see they have modulation but do they have the 1 kHz tone and come down to negative dbs? Never used em but there’s a few on there relatively cheap right now. Haven’t seen any good videos on em. Just a few short videos.
