    Mic tests - 575M6, D104M6, RK56....and more

    Is it safe to assume that this is a legitimate Turner RK-56 ? I'm not familiar with them, this guy supposedly has 4 of them, each in a white box, no clamshell hanging package.

    I have no idea what that means, other than I'm happy that it's on your bench !! BB was the stick turner on the radio in my post, thank you Denny for helping me clean up my act. Todd

    Do I have a splatterbox ?

    Thanks guys for all of the suggestions. OT03 has my other similar radio now, so when it gets back this one will be going to him immediately. With regard to mic gain, I keep it up all the way with an SRA-198, because occasionally someone will say that my audio is low, usually while dx'ing. Todd

    Do I have a splatterbox ?

    It seems very high to me also, so I keep it turned down unless I hear the airwaves open up and I'm trying to make contact. I have always assumed that these guys with high power gear have things tuned to where they don't necessarily bleed over. Am I wrong ?

    Do I have a splatterbox ?

    RCI 6300f150 - I bought second hand and wanted to have our very well known local shop look it over before hooking it up, as I have no idea what to look for and don't intend to ever roll my own. He showed me on his Bird 43 that it was producing 250+ pep. During a brief stop today, the driver that...

    It was pretty live in N Ca on 27.285 for a few hours. Talked to Ga/Al/Tn and heard Ky/Va/Carolinas. Not sure where Ricochet is at, but he was over the top of everyone when he keyed. Six-pack was making a fine trip as well.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Tractor has 10, jeep n dollies have 48. We are 131' long, 12' wide, 15'-7" high and 235,000 lbs with this particular combination. It's a pita reading a Tx permit, and they really don't know their own bridge heights. I run a high pole at 16'-1" under many bridges marked 15'-9" and clear by 3"-4"...
