Bumping some oldies but goodies there Shadetree.

Congratulations. Why do you still read and reply to so many CB related posts? Oh, to remind us how reformed and pure you are now? If I were to guess, you are probably one of the people that I can't stand listening to/talking to on the HF bands and make me keep coming back to 11 meters.

Thanks for the reply, Nomad.

The RF ghetto isn't for everyone...

Any reason you can't have a PL259 and an N connector on the same piece of coax? I recently installed a Collosal 10k in the top of a 90ish ft. tree and used a 150 ft. premade piece of Times Microwave LMR-600 with PL259s preinstalled. I need to cut the excess 50-60 ft. off and put a new connector...

First time with a fish finder? This is nothing new. BTW Nice radio (whether it's a 990 or an 890S) I have an 890S and I love it.

Yes, these are designed for CB use. The largest amp or kit they sell is a 1000 watt version, which if your dad has a 6 pill isn't going to do more output than what he already has. Also - an 8 transistor amplifier isn't going to be a major upgrade over a 6 transistor amplifier - maybe 200 watts...

The only kit CB amps I've seen in a while are these: https://rocketboxelectronics.com/ These are MOSFET transistor amplifiers, however.

This was my recommendation to my friend as well. I think he was eyeing the Texas Star because it's in stock and most builders are backed up right now being near Christmas and propagation coming back recently. Thanks for the feedback.

Anyone know if the new Texas Star DX1600s being sold on e-bay are good/legit? I had heard something about fake transistors a while back. I'm OK with HGs, just don't want to pay for some unknown/junk transistors or if I should avoid these latest gen DX1600's all together. This would be for a...

Saw you mention your Yaesu saga in a few threads. Which radio model are you having the issue with?

The owner/builder says not to make any adjustments to the primary element or radial lengths (assemble using his sharpie marks and leave the lengths alone) to affect tuning, only to make minor adjustments to the sliding tuning cap at the bottom. Antenna resonance was a bit below CB channel 1 on...

I just put a Colossal 10k in the top of an ~80 ft. tall pine tree. It's over 100 ft. high to the tip. I need to have my tree climber go back up in the next week or two to adjust the tuning capacitor at the base of the antenna (I never should have touched it in hindsight, but once on the 10 ft...

Nice find. Thanks for sharing

Nice setup. I like the displays on those latest gen RCI mobiles.

Wow. And I thought my omni @ 100 ft. was mighty...

I'd cut that shit clean off right there and get some real wire feeding that thing.

Speaking of modified Vector 4ks... I have an upgraded "10kw" gamma for a New Sirio Vector 4000. I purchased it thinking I was going to try one out and then never went that direction. If someone could use it, I'd send it their way if they covered shipping. I still have the USPS box it came in so...

Nope. Definitely not legal here (Texas). I've been trying to get the power company, FCC, ARRL to help me for about a year now. Very slow going...
