It is actually a "Aircraft Flare Can" same width/height as a 50 cal can, but about 3" deeper For reference, this is the same size can with B-Tech 25x4 and a 12v/30a power supply

Base or Mobile?

I'll try to get a couple photos this evening... here is one I have available...

For VHF/UHF, the TRAM 1181 with a Nagoya Ground plane kit is widebanded enough to cover 2M Ham, MURS. 70cm, FRS/GMRS

I never got that to work to produce Positive modulation. It seems where ever you set the carrier power, and the Audio level, the radio still downward modulates the carrier when audio is applied. I have had the same IC-718 since 2002... great basic rig, use to run one Mobile too... before my...

Thanks Bud! I have a new version of that as well

Mobile Roadpro Titan II RSPY-485 RM Italy KL-300P 102" whip There was a DXpadition to Djibouti when I got them... Got the QSL Card at home

For a Base.. the Arrow 2M/70cm J Pole is good on the MURS/HAM/FRS/GRMS Freqs... under 1.5:1 on those bands

Congrats!

But have you ever put it on an O'Scope and seen the modulation envelope? I've never gotten envelope growth/Positive modulation. I have tried the ALC mod Shadetree posted, didn't work... And I don't care about "Swing"...

FM sounds a lot clearer than AM.... less static and trash...

I have my father's EF Johnson Messenger 125.... Crystals and push buttons!

Because the CB rules were written a long time ago, and they do not get updated very often.... I mean, they only recently removed the 155.3 mile limit for conversations over the air...

Just a thought, but if you are going to spend the money for the Alinco DX-R8T receiver only version.... I'd spend a little more and get the Alinco DX-SR8T... same Receiver (covers 135KHz to 30MHz in all modes), but with Transmit capability... if required.... and can be modified open for TX from...

Cool setup. If you start getting RF in your Audio.... Check for the Pin 1 Problem... Pin 1 on the XLR (Shield) tied to the Circuit board/Signal Ground on Pin 3 MXL Microphones (especially the condensers) are famous for it... As are most Audio processors... (yes, I learned the HARD way and...

If you ever put a 718 on an O'scope... I have never been able to set one up (I have 2 of them) so that it doesn't Downward Modulate... 40 Carrier (RF Power on HIGH), 100% downward Modulation. 25 Watt Carrier: 100% Downward Modulation 1W carrier: Downward Modulation... I have never been able...

Same thing when I tried to get the schematics for the Anytone Smart CB...

I figure if more people had FM as an option on their Radios, They would use it... Sure FM isn't a legal CB 11 Meter mode in the USA, but then again... everyone is running 4 W Carrier and 12 W SSB... right? sure they are...

Yup, That is what got my attention also... That article also mentions UV light being good to kill the virus... but cities are demanding people stay inside.. out of the sun... :unsure: Something just ain't right... :cautious:
