I don't know if it can get to 160 but WBCQ's new setup can get to 40 and 20 at least lol 500KW with 23dbi is like 60 megawatts erp if my maths is right.

For setting/checking the S-meter you need a RF signal generator. From what I have seen the standard is generate a carrier level of 100 µV, AM modulated with a 1KHz audio signal at 30%. Then adjust the S-meter so it lines up with S9 on that signal.

If your thinking about that cobra 75 thing don't do it. Look at the uniden cmx760 instead. For a CB only ssb radio I like my McKinley. It is DIN sized so if you car is double din you can fit it and an aftermarket stereo in the stock stereo spot. It has adjustable power right on the front so you...

I may have to put something that can do 10m in the mobile if the bands are going to start heating up. :cool: Its been dead so long i forgot what its like to talk there :confused:

Cobra 75 is probably the worst performing radio on the market today and yet its highly popular with 4x4ers. It came out years ago (SoundsTracker!) but they keep making it because it is so popular. Everything including the RX/TX circuits are jammed in the hand unit. Yes they run the RF down the...

Does it have an opening for the speaker? I saw the old midland mentioned a few pages back. Uniden actually made something decent to replace that and the god awful Cobra 75 everyone has in their jeeps. The head uses a standard RJ45 (ethernet) so you could put a jack anywhere and hide the main...

In the states we call it No Ground Plane antennas. Or NGP I know I will get jumped on but Firestick has them. http://www.firestik.com/ A NGP just uses a special coax as the ground plane. Ya it gets the radio happy and it's better then nothing but the performance will never match a proper...

Sad to see Universal go but not unexpected. I have gotten some shortwave stuff from them and their website has always been a great reference tool. I know they have mixed reviews but I have always had good luck with HRO. The few times ive wanted something TODAY I was able to call NH and blast...

Sitting in my central ct mobile waiting for the sun to shine

I wish I could even hear california. The tropics is like talking next door here. Anything west of the Mississippi river is super rare. It was cool to hear TX the other day. Barely any conditions now but there is Jamaica coming in to my connecticut radio

Heading down 95 to nyc the “...are the Real Communists” guy was rolling in on the skip. After he rolled out the communism spread and everywhere where communists. They even shop at Stu Lenards

So I picked up a 980 for a good price to try it out last week. This is a Xmas gift for my brother to replace his ratty 1001z in his truck. I mounted it in my Jeep’s cobra29 bracket and put some time on this weekend at a 4x4 trip with some friends. On AM and with my 636l mic people said I sounded...

Has anyone come up with expanded freq for this radio?

Ok my bad. Your looking for that specific combo. They definitely make all crimp ones though. https://www.tessco.com/product/uhf-male-crimp-rg58-lmr195-7806a-491537

Amp is the best. But I use RF Industries and Laird connectors.

It was like that since new or is it fading out? I guess there is a dividing line between Rev1 and Rev2. What I can't figure out is if the display problems are on the latest Rev2 radios.

Rainy all day but got PR and JAMAICA MON. Heard Antigua but no way I was busting the pileup to get that contact. 38lsb 9am has been loud as heck out of PR the last few days. I think the all just run 5kw to talk local around their island :ROFLMAO:

Anyone have display problems with their 980s? I am trying to decide between one of these or just getting another president McKinley. The reviews everywhere make it down like the display problems are rampant,

Ok thanks.

Does the 980 from the front panel allow you to lower the DK for the KL203 or are you just running it strait up?
