Just worked 889 Jay in the Mojave.. Big 20 over signal and great audio Jay!

Also worked 1037 northern Nevada.

Several locals running 991As.. All but one have been sent back under warranty. PA gone .. low output. Thought they fixed this with the new "A" model.. apparently not so..

I already had a monitor so I picked up a HP refurbished unit. More than what I need for the shack. I am not a gamer... It came with a corded mouse and key board Only thing I had to add was a wifi dongle. https://www.newegg.com/

Just worked 4077 Hollywood CA and a dude with no numbers on a wire in Alberta..

I would definitely try removing the power supply from the picture. Hook it up to a battery and check for the noise. If it's still present turn off ALL your breakers. If the noise dissappears..turn them on individually while checking to see when it returns. This will guide you to your source if...

The 2970 has always been the higher power version of the 2950. First generation had the orange display. Then came the 2970dx with the green display. Later came the n2 with the black display with green segments. Now they have multiple color display models.

Have had the old orange face flavors 2950s & 70s.. had an 2950dx and sold it (fail.. should've kept it) and now run a 2950cd in my pickup. They have been a solid ssb 10/11 meter rig for 25+ years. They could use a cleaner receiver and they are not screaming AM monsters stock.. but they work ok...

If the pole has a cutout (switch) either feeding a xformer or a line fuse don't get too radical with your hammer size and blows. If the porcelain is completely shit the vibration from your hit could cause the insulator to break and separate. This is unlikely BUT when they do the top side of the...

By law utilities are required to track down and eliminate (to the best of their ability) rf noise. I don't know who your providers are but any decent size power company should have a dude on staff trained on tracking down noise with what our guys call a "sniffer". You could go on a walk or...

A watt meter is your friend when determining drive levels..

I have been pondering picking up a 6666 for my pickup. I have been rotating between a connex 4800 ( took out for winter..drifter) and 2950 (in place now) and old TS5010. Guess it might be time to add a new flavor to the mix. I'm torn between the 6666 and a 955..

With a vertical at 40 ft I have been able to work a few hundred miles out several times on 2 meter (simplex) fm when conditions (tropo) allow for it. One morning last summer I was chatting with my locals when a station in Kansas joined in.. its happened before with Kentucky and Indiana also in...

Nice setup

Thanks Jeff. I just realized this picture probably had no business going up here... this is the "CB" antenna section lol ...woops

The stack was dancing some yesterday. It all went up this past June then we had 74 mph straight line winds back in August. They rode that out with no problem. Yesterday morning I think we had somewhere in the area of 40-50 mph gusts.. so I wasn't too worried.

I have a copy Tomcats Big CB Handbook. Picked it up back in the early-mid 90s when I was a young teen. Read it front to back a few times.. great read for a young man getting his feet wet in radio with CB... I remember being particularly interested in his chapter on ssb explanation and...

The 6666/5555 would be my choice or a Stryker 955. They both have ssb and that's my thing.... Sirio 5000 you won't be disappointed.
