You stated that your radio receives in PA mode. You should only receive in CB mode. Not PA mode. Look at schematic and check wiring at CB/PA switch to make sure it is first wired correctly. We can move on from there once you have fixed that problem.
Poor Boy and I spoke to the west coast all afternoon. We live a couple of miles from each other and had the west coast on lockdown. Horizontal polarity.
California and Nevada this morning. Texas around 11AM. Florida around noon time, Chicago gang 12:30-1:00PM then it shut down for me until 7PM tonight lol, I already worked 12 hrs and it was time to go into the house for the evening.
How come none of y'all come down to ch 20? Most of all the big rigs from ch6 and ch28 are there every day because you can actually talk. Maybe I'll see ya
Trainman steppin'
Spoke to almost everyone on the west coast the last few days on ch20. Motor Mouth Maul dropped in for about an hour this afternoon and was talking to Clean in Chicago. Pretty busy out there!
it's alright. I use one behind my 1x6 fatboy. I have it keying 0-6w deadkey on a variable installed on the back. It swings 35 PEP and has good strong audio. Only draw back is the blue is hard to read.
e-chip will be fine tucked up under there. If your critical about frequency, just adjust back on and put the cases back on. I usually turn the unit on and let it stabilize for 30-40 mins before I do adjustments. Cheers
Thank you, my friend. Always great to be able to talk to you! Your audio was great. Loud and clear to punch thru that train wreck !
808.....You always sound good coming into the Bam! I hope we get to talk again. Might try to run some coax to my 5 element and work the flatside :)
Talked with The Witchdoctor in Trinidad this morning. I was very surprised to hear him on channel 20 AM. He usually hangs on 38 LSB. He was sporting Needlebender numbers lol. Spoke with Sports Page in Los Angeles and Quack Quack radio and 526 out of the west coast. Good skip today!
I was talking to some locals this morning when California come in. Talked to about 6 or 7 guys from the west coast. Had about a 20 minute window and poof...they was gone. This was around 10:30 am in the big bam.
Put my antenna up a little higher. it's now 120 feet to where the coax attaches to the bottom of the Antron 99.

79 Central California

Skip off my Antron 99.....Spoke with Tenderfoot out of Miami this morning. Then to Fernando unit 345 in Lemon Port, Costa Rica. 634 in NJ. California started rolling in and spoke to 121 in Los Angeles and 268 in San Diego. and unit 56 in Oregon. Then I had to go upstairs to bed because I had...
Just got a new Antron 99 put up 95 feet in a tree. Man does that thing talk! Spoke to triple 8 and 281 up in New York this evening with my bare footed 29LX. Also spoke to Tender Foot in Miami. I'm gonna love this
The 45 foot long 6 element is now 15 feet off the ground lol. It's a very heavy antenna to get up with no help. Another 5 more feet and I can put it on top of the tower. I was actually talking to you off the 5 element beam yesterday. I too, was talking on a Cobra 29LX. No amplifier, just...
