    How much carrier output?

    25 watts per Toshiba 2879 is what I have been doing for over 20 years now. Original Dave Made 1x4 mobile I ran at a 100 watt carrier for round about 8 years in my 18 wheeler. Ended up selling it for more than what I paid for it.

    Joke Of The Day: Effingham VS. Superhawk

    Purchase history on my end the last one sold 11/22/22 for $297.99. Just a pricing error I think. At their other online store, CB Radio Supply, you can buy a President McKinley shipped to the door for $175. Waiting on mine to be delivered because I did order one. Shipped from Carrolton...

    Palomar TX 400

    Depending on the size of the amp, even a large flat rate box would not be enough to pack an amp securely. I double box, and use lots of bubble wrap when I ship an amp. Last amp I shipped was a Cobra 450, and there was no way I could get enough packing material in a large flat rate box to...

    Solar panels

    Neighbor had solar panels installed almost two years ago, and I can't hear crap during the day time. Be very careful about buying. My neighbor had Power Home Solar to install his, and then they changed their name to Pink Energy, and then quickly went out of business blaming it on Generac...

    Anytone at-5555n II (version 2)

    Yes that's a very good microphone for radios that come with electret mics such as some of the President radios. Used one a Lincoln 2+, and it sounded great. On the other hand, the dynamic mic that looks just like it is junk. It has very low modulation even on a jacked up radio. The dynamic...

    4 pill amp

    If you lived near me here in Western NC, I have a straight four transistor Toshiba 2879 plug in the wall that has an iron core transformer. It was B biased about a year ago by a local tech. New double ball AC fan was installed too during the B biasing. Stops that up and down whine from a DC...

    "idiot" blocking up ch 19.

    Yes it was him live, and he was pumped on channel 19 and 28. Definitely running the big box on 19. He was stepping on most of the hash and trash.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I use to get Arkansas all the time here in Western NC...better than any actually. Now most all of it is coming from Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Cali, and Hawaii plus all of Europe. Have not heard the NE corner in a while...at least while I was listening. Here lately, Arizona and Colorado...

    SuperBowl SuperWide

    RedEye Crow, on the bowl, co-channels me bad. But he is only six miles from my 20. Actually, his radios sound dam good.

    10 and 11 meter noise floor insane!

    Definitely look around the neighborhood for solar panels. This company in NC called PowerHome Solar, now called Pink Energy, installed junk for one of my neighbors. The day they went online my radio was bombed with noise. Now Pink Energy/PowerHome Solar has closed their doors, and blaming it...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    On October 9th, this past Sunday, Europe was rolling in strong 11 meter lower sideband. Made contacts in Ireland, lots of UK, and one in West Germany. Could hear a Netherlands station, but could not make contact on my ground plane. All in all it was a glorious day for me and my Cobra 142...

    Engine noise

    I can tell you this. The noise blanker is not doing its business. Went through a couple radios on my 92 Toyota pickup, and tried all the fixes I knew about to get rid of the engine noise. The ignition noise would go up and down with the engine RPM. Uniden 980 SSB radio, and the noise was...

    Sirio 2016

    My Sirio 2016 has been up for 16 months now. I used Ox-Gard on the sections, and used blue Loctite on the screws. It's still working great!
