    CB BANDPASS Filter?

    I didn't see it on there. I ended up ordering it. I guess I'll find out when I get it. I'll hit it with a tracking generator and post my findings.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    It seems all the skip got caught up in the snow and fell to the ground.

    CB BANDPASS Filter?

    Did the morgen systems filter come with a spec/performance sheet? Where exactly does the cutoff start? I use ch40. Any problems with yours?

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I never hear much on 10m. But then I drop my call on 28.4USB and get a response. Everyone is sandbagging sitting back waiting for someone else to call CQ but then no one ever does. When 11M is rolling with skip on every other channel you click up to 10 and its crickets :sleep:

    Terrible Noise!

    I don't think the popping noise at S1-3 and the S9 noise are the same thing. Cheap ethernet (WIRED) equipment gives off crazy HF noise. The simple solution is to just switch to WiFi. The S9 noise could be anything. I had a battery tender that drove me nuts. It only made RFI when it was doing a...

    Terrible Noise!

    I dont know what the S9 stuff is but the popping and buzzing around S1 to 3 sounds a lot like ethernet. I tried forever to get that noise out of my HF stuff and finally just gave up and made everything I could wifi. Unplug your modem/ethernet switch and see if it stops. The noise could be...

    CB Tricks site UPDATES/THREAD MERGERS

    Feds normally put up a notice on the websites they seize. They would also have told google to remove the snapshot. FCC only cares about protecting the cellular industry. Thats it. They don't care about HF at all. They don't care about public safety radio or ham radio. And they only sometimes...

    CB Tricks site UPDATES/THREAD MERGERS

    Look on the top of page 24 of this thread for the google drive link. Its a 9gig RAR file. You need an unrar program for what ever OS you use. I wouldn't try downloading it with a smartphone or ipad.

    Have not seen much of this radio

    Looks like all you have to do is add a few bits for ssb ;) the board number is under the channel selector. I can see the number 1 in it.

    MOBILE INSTALL: 579 Peterbilt

    So I spent some time with the McK in my jeep and decided I don't like the audio on AM even though its a solid radio on SSB. It's great for getting the message across but seems real narrow banded. And the microphone issue was bugging me. I could fix it with a powermic but don't want to worry...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Getting Canada good. Hearing 184 in San Fran bay all they way here in my Connecticut mobile but can’t make the contact. To much competition from big stations here in ct/nyc. One interesting DX comes in and they call keyup at once:confused: then no one makes the contact

    Galaxy fixed the issue on their version of these radios... by dropping the 6th digit :whistle:

    Have not seen much of this radio

    Thats not the counter dancing. That's the radio's oscillator. The counter is just reading the mail. With no clarifire I am going to bet this radio wont always read 27.1850. Mine will move around a bit as it warms up. Will make zero difference on AM but would catch my OCD for sure. Even on AM i...

    MOBILE INSTALL: 579 Peterbilt

    OK I understand what you are saying now. Ya my TR696 (same board as galaxy) is silent on SSB. Natural sounding on AM. No digital hash at all because there is nothing digital about it.

    Is the hiss in the 980 coming from internal the radio or from stuff in your truck?

    Time is now to revive CB Radio

    Interesting how ithe power button looks like an Emergency button. I wonder if this is based off a euro public safety radio mold. Or maybe they are just copying the look.
