I had one of those also. It's now in San Diego California in a friends car.

I had one.

After 260 technicians from coast to coast, it's kind of difficult to remain a dumb truck driver and sort of inevitable that I'd absorb a little bit of knowledge along the way. (That was the whole point) I'm always learning something new and sharing that knowledge whenever someone has a question...

Since I'm not a con artist my first instinct was to be honest with the guy. I kind of forgot but he probably deals with all sorts of con artists purchasing radios and tweaking on them in a drug-induced stupor and then complaining about warranty issues wanting to send the radio back for warranty...

I'm using this mount with LMR400uf. It only cost 5 bucks.

I had no interest in using FM. Speech compression and audio bandwidth were the primary objective.

The schematic and service manual are available from President. Once I mentioned why I wanted the info, they decided not to provide the info.

Has anybody found a schematic or service manual for this radio? I thought it would be amusing to see what sort of improvements could be made to this thing.

It would seem so, but it isn't the case. 12 inches more coil might result in 4 inches less whip. Antenna builders know this all too well.

I'll bite. Regarding the MFJ 259B Accuracy varies according to temperature, and calibration is a burden due to shipping two ways. The MFJ 226 doesn't count because it isn't even manufactured by MFJ and I highly recommend it over the older models. Calibration can be done at home, assuming you...

It's going to be taller than you want. 77 inches vs 67 inches for the Wilson.

Sounds awful in real life also. I've heard thousands of them at close range. Most disappear within 8 miles. He's a good repairman, that's about it.

Have you heard Chris's work?

This seems to be the best tool for those high amperage connections. Harbor freight sells something similar.

I'd vote for him. Can't be any worse than what we have now.

True, but in the interest of honesty and integrity, and credibility, and "exposing the underbelly of cb radio" it should be noted you made reference to this website which claims Bob to be one of the best. http://cbradioblog.com/cbradioblogs-whitelist/ Not really a credible source of information...

Don't tell TheRealPorkchop. According to him, the guy who worked on it is one of the best.

I've heard one of his radios when I was driving through New Jersey. I could barely understand the guy. If you search YouTube I'm sure you can find the recording.

The interesting thing is the Palomar sl41 is virtually identical to the astatic 575 minus the convenient controls outside the case of the microphone. You can internally adjust the width of the frequency response as well as the output level. Adjusted correctly it should make everyone happy

That would be wasteful. That's not me.
