Yes a 1.3-1.4 still falls within the specs they’ve advertised. SWR in the CB band will be slightly higher now than it was previously due to the length change but the antenna is still completely usable in the CB band. I think it’s important to point out that while this has long been a popular...

This is why people use compression to try to give their audio more consistent levels like a whistle. You’ll never see the same swing as a whistle and if you do you’re certainly over modulated.

I have a quick update for today. I can verify definitively that the current length of the mostly recently produced Max 2000's is 280.50 inches. It is roughly 4" shorter than the previous version I tested 8-10 years ago. This is almost identical to what Marconi, lonestarbandit (above), and...

He definitely did a lot for the hobby. Maybe some day he’ll start doing videos again.

I was just looking at buying another Megawatt today. I've had my 36A for such a long time and it's just been a workhorse but looking for a 50A or 100A. Wish someone would make a really clean PS. I've had no problems with the Megawatt over the years but I did notice some noise this last week...

My guess would be the brake booster vacuum pump as I had that issue myself in the past. As I would come up to a stop light and press on the brake it would start a whine that would last for about 3-4 seconds and then go away (even as I countined to brake). No trailer brake or LED's on that truck...

If it works report back with how you did it for future generations.

Brand new it's a $270 radio. You likely paid close to $300 for the work+radio I'm guessing? Really just depends on what someone will pay. For someone who would pay to have it tuned/converted it might be worth it to them to save $50 and they might pay $250. As someone who does my own...

You should get a Stryker 955 and the software and you can program your own :)

That's taking it to the next level :) I just finished a rewire of my vehicle last night, it was hard enough to find places to route larger power wire without adding another layer over it. As I was doing it though I did think of this thread :)

I'm setting up a new bench and I'd like to get a extra distribution block that has multiple quick connect slots. My current one requires using a screwdriver and I want one with a quicker connection option. I see some of the blocks with fuses which is cool. I've been searching but just haven't...

I'm sure I wouldn't mention it to the insurance company but I have a feeling I'd be telling you guys about it :)

A while back with a truck and some power I caused a computer problem that caused the truck to run rough (like a limp mode) until it was reset - then if I keyed up again it caused the problem again. I did some additional grounding and it solved the issue. Still never have heard of anyone in CB...

Interesting reading Handy Andy, definitely makes the case that any install regardless of CB/Ham should be aware of possible RF issues effecting the Airbags. If they can in fact be triggered fairly easily I guess my question would be why don't we hear about cases more often with all the 4 to 8+...

I once read a post where someone didn't recommend putting an amp under a passenger seat as there were lots of wires there related to the airbag sensor as well as a weight sensor for when to turn the airbag off when a child is in the seat. I heard two people mention this in DX the other day and...

Skip came in for 10 minutes last night, talked to 361 in Central Cal and then it disappeared.

If you don't know what this is, don't ask questions as you don't need it :)

This was from an old install I had when I ran some bigger power years ago. I found it in a bin the other day and I have no idea why I kept it. Maybe it has issues, maybe I thought I would use it again, I just don't remember. I'm not sure of the condition as I don't have adapters anymore to...

That is really cool! Can you explain the channel selector knobs? That seems to be very unique.
