Hello John: If my mind serves me right the VSWR was like 3.5 or 4.5 to 1. Way off. Never seen a production antenna come out of the box with that high a VSWR, unless it was assembled way wrong. And many antennas in those days were assembled wrong. Being a young buck with a 1964 Comment and a...

Hello John: Yes had the same problem with this antenna the Avanti Saturn. Many years ago some fellow CB'ers asked my to come by and look over their Saturn Antenna because the Horz side had a high VSWR but they were able to talk on the Horz side anyway. The Vert side VSWR was good and it worked...

Hello guitar_199: Thank you

Hello Slowmover: I used the radio every time I take the truck out for a spin and usually turn up the squelch to hid the noise. So I may have missed the intermittent receive as not hearing any stations local or skip. The SO-239 connectors were like no tension at all when installing the PL-259...

Hello All: Thought I would share my last camping trip getting ready effort with you all. Noticed that the CB Radio had a intermittent receive, had to click the mic to get the receive back on, transmit worked ok. Removed the coax connectors from the amp, and installed a double S0-239 adapter...

Yeah these Shakespeare Marine Antennas work well. Spent 4 years on a commercial fishing boat, fishing for Albacore Tuna in the Pacific Northwest. These antennas need to be installed as high as possible to take advantage of there low angle of elevation. Some boats will install these antennas as...

Cleaned off the dust on my CB Radio, checked the antenna VSWR its great, input power voltage dead nutz on, looked over the coax all good. Tuning around the band heard two truck drivers far away, and I called for a radio check and a big friendly hello. Got a quick reply and friendly hello back...

Great info here. Neighbor has a Commander 1200 amp using a single 3CX800 and it was acting erratic. Doing a "Easter Egg Inspection" we found two connections in the Pi network NOT soldered. Went home and got my 150 watt soldering iron, all fixed. But the tube looked like it got real hot and the...

Hello All: Well good news the Power company came and fixed the arcing high voltage lines just a few days ago. Went out for Sunday Breakfast with all the 4 wheel drive and camping crowd. Have to eat out side in the heat buts its worth all the comradery and good times. As I am driving home I have...

Yes the power companies are supposed to fix the noisy power lines, its part of their job. Heah sp5it was that 500 meters or 500 miles, I am sure it was meters. In the Book Power Line Noise they say the noise can get louder and quieter at different lengths of power lines from the noise source...

You kind of left us in the dark here with the noise problem. Was the noise like frying bacon, or a digital pulse, or a wine type noise. Sounds to me you possibility have power line noise, that is some power line some were is arcing causing the bacon frying / hissing type noise. Usually can be...

Hello U75: Wow this is the first time I have heard LMR400 melted, I am curious as what antenna your using. My neighbor several miles away has put 6KW thu LMR400 on a Interceptor 10K Antenna with good results. Please pass the aluminum foil hats. Jay in the Great Mojave Desert

K-Tran do tell

Wow yeah that's very interesting to see all these megalithic block stones. Yeah how did they cut and move all these big heavy blocks. Is it possible that giants moved these blocks into place? And Noah's flood whipped out all the giants, leaving very large stones in place at the quarries seen all...
