I tried but it’s too weak...triple mag mount instead.

Sorry .... yes it’s for my 980ssb and it’s currently set at 1 1/2 watt DK swing to 9 Watts. I was looking at TS but not sure. Is the 667v better than the 500? I’ve heard it’s a better amp per reviews. The radio could be put back to stock which was 4 Watts DK swing to about 12 Watts! Look out...

I’d give you $100 for it!

I have been looking at buying a new/bigger amp but other than rm Italy and copper electronics where can I buy a new one from? I’m looking for somewhere around 500 Watts and must have SSB. I tried to look at Xforce but no amps come up? I liked the midnight special line but like I said it seems to...

I got silence here.

I had a lil wil then a Tram tbc-9 and now a 102”. I do like my 980 but I’m thinking about a Stryker 955 after Christmas.

I’m looking at one of these and now I’m confused....how does a 70 watt factory output radio sound absolutely nasty at anything over 50-60watts?

I have no issues talking and if I can hear you I can talk to you. Even when skip is rolling I have no issues making contacts...then again I am running a 102” whip on the roof of a Ram 1500 4x4!

Yes I have it set at 1 1/2 watt DK. And swing to about 9 Watts. With amp I’m getting about a 28 watt DK and swing just over 90 Watts Am and about 120 on SSB.

Fire truck!

Personally I run a 980ssb with a rm Italy kl203 and love it. Not much skip happening right now though.

I have been on here a while and have talked to a few of you over the years, I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for your help and understanding over the years it’s nice to have a group of other radio nuts to converse and get advice from. With work and the holiday season I don’t know how...

Thank you everyone for all the help. Although I’m smacking trees in my subdivision once I’m out of it I barely ever hit anything. I know I’m over the “legal” height but haven’t had an issue yet. I keep hearing that 108” is the correct length...is this a ball mount with spring and antenna? Just...

No it was dropping with amp on. Replaced spring and coax jumper to amp and got it to 1.4 and 1.6 with or without amp.

Also these reading are being taken with a MFJ-826b meter. I’m afraid of damaging radio but one thing I’m finding is that my internal swr meter in radio is within .05 of the MFJ! I am about to leave to go see my tech.

Also if I take amp out of line I have a 1.83 on 1 and a 1.16 on 40!

Ok I have disconnected the ground and found no difference but....if I have amp inline but powered off I have a 2.23 on 1 and 2.41 on 40.....if I power up amp I get a 1.21 on 1 and a 1.27 on 40! I almost always have it on but is this correct?

Antenna and spring are brand new. Braid is good. Not sure of what washer you are referring to as I am using a triple magnetic mount. Will remove ground tomorrow and post results as it’s about 20 degrees outside here right now (Chicago).

I am running a uniden 980ssb into a RM 203p and a Tram triple magnet mount with a Tram TBC-9 antenna with a SWR of 1.2 on both ends of the band and I also have the chassis of the radio and amp grounded to the seat mount bolts in my truck now here’s the new problem...I want to use a 102” whip but...
