Yes a rebranded Radio with the Cobra logo. Radio is worth 199.95 add the Cobra logo new price $600.00 or more. You don't see a lot of those probably a name of the seller rings a bell. Wonder if he uses that name on another radio website
First The meter you are using. Is it peak reading? If not it will not read "swing" just rms watts. second the antenna is a small antenna but for a base set-up you will do better with a Imax 2000 if you put one up buy some die electric grease where the sections are put together. the auto parts...
I have a Maco 4 element and a 2 meter 440 beam going on the top. Wanted to get it done .This rotor worked before at another location for years, and if it don't last I will change it out. Have lots of material for different mounting plates..
Yes. And I used the water method and it works, you have to keep the rod liberated with the water so it does not get stuck. I hammered it in the last foot to see how hard it would be. Had to use a sledge hammer and was more work than the first 7 ft.
Got some more work done over the holiday weekend. Hazer almost complete. Mounting the bearing plate. Bearing, rotor plate and rotor. Fabricated the supports for both. Cable and hardware are here also the winch and new antenna. Won't be to long now. No hurry no worries. Need to get a couple...
I like RG-213 and know people who say the had problems and would never buy coax with a solid center wire.if you read charts you can find much of the coax is overkill. on 11 meters ...Now on 70cm and 1.2Ghz different story. Also mil spec RG-213 is also good for direct burial!!!
never bought from GI Joes and haven't herd any complaints. If you know what you want I would think they would tune it your way. If you are looking am and not SSb DTB radio is selling the cobra 29 LX and the Stryker SR447HPC2 on e-bay now he did a good tune on the DX-979 and the DX99 V2 I bought...

I like when I see an old thread. Lol. I f I added to it even better. I sold the Dx-979 I was talking about and now have The General Lee. It's a nice Am Radio with Great receive. And a loud talking with an echo that can be adjusted to give you voice a boost without the repeat. I like it a lot.
Up date on the radio. I opened the radio and took another look at the jack for external speaker. The metal tab that disconnects the internal speaker was breaking the connection for the speaker and that's why there was no sound. The radio does work fine but An external speaker can not be...
I bought a General Lee. From him new in the box with the SRA mic from ranger works perfect after I did the mod and a minor tune. Extended shipping because he travels for his job. He ships on the date he tells you and for the price I paid it could not be beat 159.00 free ship I was not in a...
An inexpensive radio that has many options and sounds great on ssb. Even a wireless mic. Not going anywhere soon. The people at Uniden in the R&D dept came up with a winner
