can't convince myself on the anytone, never have liked them, not sure why folk's have disdain for exports , my friends with 5000$ stations don't like my 955 that I'm using for my base either

did enough research to see what I want is not available with the budget I have unless I get lucky on something used, will hold off a bit to see if something comes up used , most likely will just go with a SSB 40 channel CB and not worry about extra channels, was comparing the Galaxy 759 and 979...

wanting to upgrade the mobile, (Cobra 29) looking at president or Galaxy, need SSB and be able to cover 11 meters with at least 40 below and 40 above , not interested in big money radio for my work truck, just something to keep me entertained in my short trips around my county , most of what I...

Interested in ridgidisng the SPT500 radials and radiator, some of the joints are swedged and some are not, the swedged joints don't give you much to work with, thinking double clamps for these, I'm not comfortable with drilling for pop rivets , not really enough material there to get a good bite...

My home brew 5/8 uses a beta match, 6 foot copper water line, adjust feed point for best resonance like the maco or shockwave, putting up a spt 500 myself , I liked the shockwave or the zero5 , but went with the hygain for price and reputation , I've seen some pretty old ones still in use

WOW

This is one that nags at me, the 2 home brew 1/4 wave GP I built, one the radials is grounded to the mast, the other does not, both work good, both have separate ground wires with copper rod in the ground, I have made sure to make both the mast and ground wire a non resonate length, I do believe...

When we were kids we would stir up the howler monkeys at the zoo, all you had to do was jump up and down and wave your arms and they would start freaking out screaming at you, crapping in their hand and throwing it at you , thought it was pretty funny at the time ..... The imported protestors...

Cobra 29 in my work truck likes the 636L, haven't tried a SRA 198 yet, it's on my list of future purchases The Stryker however sounded better with stock mike than the astatic , the little Cherokee base also sounds great with the 636L

25 years or so, got Mexico on there usually, still makes me wonder that a new cb comes with channel 9 switch, is 9 emergency channel going to come back? Some locals use it for chitchat , don't think it's monitored anymore

1/4 wave length radials, 102" for a 5/8 gp on 11 meters, the manual does not address making adjustments to the radials, just says 105" as you stated, then adjust the length of the radiator to set swr at the desired frequency , not sure how critical the radials length is , thanks for answering...

What length did you set your radials at?

Have plenty of family that aren't blood, have relatives who aren't family , don't waist my energy on their drama , sadly your senerio is a common one , my situation I would have pressed charges, sheriff says verbal agreement has no merit , they still owe me 20,000$ , I stand my ground and they...
