    LED light noise ?

    Drive faster. Or, brake harder As getting them gone is the only cure. You have to wonder what’s up with some vehicles — especially big trucks — as the noise can be unreal (crock pot running on inverter?; video games on TV? Cheap refrigerator, etc). I figure it’s 120V being run off 12V in the...

    TEXAS STAR DX 500 won't power up

    Hard to disagree. Perspective, so far as I’m concerned is that the few pay attention where the many do not. So waste no energy on those wearing masks or who took the euthanasia shot. The ones who understand the need for a decent radio system already likely have it. (Or know what to get)...

    Bonding results after 6 years

    It’s not bad advice, it’s understanding that bonds & grounds are serviceable items with EVERY auto repair text recommending that going back to the first Kettering starter. Removing paint to bare metal is not advisable as it gives rust a head start. Internal/External toothed washers are best...

    WEST MOUNTAIN RADIO “ClearSpeech” DSP Speaker

    Sorry to hear it. Mines been tougher than I expected, but the bracket has always held the speaker from up or down, not to side. HD Velcro plus zip ties every time. Where possible I’ve always tried to have truck shelf or other help support it. Big trucks take some road hits too hard. On this...

    7' Skipshooter (Pictures and measurements)

    Grabbed another pair (each) of 7’ & 6’ from a shop near Jacksonville, FL. The seven-footers — on an aftermarket PRO COMM mount — reach to 13’ 9” off the t680 Kenworth mirror arms. These antennas are an integral part of the best performing big truck mobile installation I’ve had. .

    NPC RC modification mod

    Guess we need to somehow tie, NPC-RC, to the secret behind, Cleaner is Meaner, and crack some cold beers before admitting the crowd. .

    so.. I tried the npc

    Contributor Loose Cannon posted details of his approach on the thread, DX2547 Red Wire Mod, that you might use as basis for discussion; as a suggestion. Contributor Exit Thirteen also has mod specifics. Someone has an approach worth trying to your satisfaction. Had I the leisure of a...

    so.. I tried the npc

    I’ve learned more by researching NPC-RC re tech terms than I knew before (unable to ignore or slide past if I wanted “some” understanding), so the effort wasn’t wasted. Not a goose chase, IOW; I’ve been trapped by circumstance for several days in one location; this was anodyne. I recognize the...
