there were three 8 foot Francis antennas that I recall .Amazer (Gray) . Wheeler Dealer (black) / Red Rooster (red) (I think it was) ...it's been a little while since I ran these , but I ran the Amazer and the Wheeler Dealer ,
I do recall the 3 copper wires in the Amazer but if memory serves...
I here where your coming from IMD 262 , as well as the other guy saying what does it have to do with this thread , well I think it has alot to do with this thread . Opinions are like assholes , we all have one.
I don't have a web site to play Mr CB Radio / Export reviewer . (nor would I want...
Lot of work here for sure. :thumbup1: Hmmmm , How was the heat on the RFX 75 ? I'd like to give this radio a work out myself but chances are IM not buying it. 90 AM 70 SSB , interesting . Is there a price tag on this thing ?
I've used a handful of those RFX's and you could fry an egg on...
Wow ! not to up on these radios but pound for pound these are some fine AM/SSB radios. I can't tell you which one is better or not ? just because one does more then the other doesn't have to make it better.
I've heard both models pretty much sounding as good as they always did. don't want to...
The radio is in very good condition. Variable drive just above 1 to 5 with over 20 watt swing from any setting. (No Hack/No clip) on the RF-Gain. Also has variable on/off talkback. (knob in back) Comes with 600 ohm coffin style Cobra stock mic. (5 wire) bracket knobs and power cord. 75.00...
Thanks Doc , I don't know why I find this slightly interesting to me. Yes the electrical tape is a insulator and would certainly keep things from shorting out if need be but at the same time rf signals can still go through it with ease and not hinder a antenna's performance.
guess that's why...
Could somebody help me understand why electrical tape would not hender the performance of this antenna ? It apparently will work , but like a dipole for instints , I realize the wire can be coated so I guess the same would apply to the electric tape working on the 99 ?
The signals still do...
That's just it Simon , what we used to do as kids has come and gone like it once was. Computers and Gameboys and Playstations have took over . Now I don't know if that's a good thing or not ? At least you knew where your kid was and what he was doing in the other room building his model.
The...
Excellent condition. Variable drive RF-Gain , 1 to 5 , over 20 watts swing on any setting. (No clip in radio) Audio Monster , will drive amplifier very nicely if need be. 600 ohm stock mic accents the radios audio nicely. A nice NC type mic goes well with theses. All works on the radio as it...
thanks Doc , There you go Mr F , clear packing tape . I can get about 66 yards of that stuff by just under 2 unches wide for about 2.20 cents. Although I bet that glossy black electrical tape might look bad ass if the chrome would clean up on all the fittings .
Like I said guys , got this at...
I think selling and buying should only be between the seller and buyer. Although nothing wrong with a positive comment along those lines. If one has a problem with sellers given prices ? You need not buy it , or you could try and make your negitive comment (if that) or offer in a PM...
electrical tape sounds easy and cheapest enough. Thanks (didn't even read about sanding there) thanks for the other ideas as well. I wanted to keep it as cheap as possible.
I got this antenna for a couple of dollars as is , it's a original Antron 99 . (not Solorcon unless they are two of the...
Any suggestions on redoing the finish on one of these Antron's ? I have one that's 20 years old easy. The fiberglass is lightly fibery. ouch ! Just looking for something fast and easy if possible. Somebody said I could lightly sand it down and clear coat it ?
What is clear coat ? Does it...
