My screen name is my CB name / numbers. No different persona, never felt the need to be a different person on the radio. Not much local activity anymore, so I have not really been on the radio in a number of years or even worked on any or anything. I kind of miss tinkering with the stuff though.

I usually ran into him and Pete on 21 chatting & they have also popped in on the local channel here which is 33, probably caught them on 19 at some point too, but I rarely go to 19. I barely make it down the street, so no way I’ll hear you where you’re at, even with the best of conditions. My...

I’m not on the radio much these days, hardly ever actually other then testing some audio gear occasionally. I have talked to a guy name Winston a few times over the last 2 years “or so”, he talks to a guy named Pete quite often that I’ve also chatted with a bit. Pete would recognize the name...

That whistle sounding wind up toy that rises in pitch has been built by a couple locals around here (the Columbus area) over the years. There are probably others out there as well, but I know of two that build the one heard in your youtube videos. (they called it a Spacebird) The last one I know...

There are a lot of CB operators out there so I don’t see it dying for quite some time. However… I’ve been on the CB nearly 15 years now, and the local chatter is nothing like what it was 10 to 15 years ago. There were multiple local channels that were virtually always active especially in...

Looks like these guys got you covered & I don’t think it is all “too” critical as long as it reaches the hoop ok. But for future reference I guess since I have my Maco V5/8 5000 sitting in the other room in its original box I would measure it. My antenna was bought back in like 2001 if I recall...

I assume you mean L134 in between the driver / final? Or something else? It’s always a good idea to take some pics or notes when removing parts you may be unsure of when reinstalling. I like to take detailed pictures just in case; my memory is not always the greatest!

Wow great to hear! If I would have known they were that cheap I would have went that route myself, lol. Oh well I really don’t use these meters so it don’t matter. Good to know though. Guess it pays to contact the manufacture to at least inquire! Glad you got a hold of them finally.

Send them another email, I contacted them a couple weeks ago & got a reply within a couple days, maybe something happened to yours. Yeah, that’s what I did basically; measured roughly where I wanted the bends (nothing critical), clamped the small end in a bench vice, slowly heated it with my...

I never contacted Dosy on a replacement price, but I assumed it would be more then I would spend as well, that’s I why I made that one. I measured my TC-4001 & it is about the same as yours; 4.25” x 2.75” If you can’t find one, with a little time you should be able to make something up...

I contacted Dosy about an alignment question on a meter someone had way out of whack & they got back to me pretty quick, give it some time I guess. As for the meter cover; getting the set off FredInFl may be the way to go. I made a cover for an old Dosy 4001 several years ago that was...

Definitely informative, but I was wondering myself why he was not using the triggering in the scope to lock a solid waveform on the screen. Here is another video I seen a couple weeks ago & thought it was interesting, shows 100% modulation on the scope pretty well. (I will post the video at...

Did you ever figure out the problem? I would suggest measuring the circuit to see if it is drawing current & how much. Put the battery in sideways & snap in ONLY the negative terminal, then put your multi-meter set to dc amperes in series with the positive battery terminal & post on the board...

It is very possible D11 is open causing your problem. Since that was already cut / replaced, double check it to make sure it is good & installed properly. But to add to things to check; check C73 to make sure it is still in the circuit, make sure it has not been cut / removed. I have had a...

I think for an overall decent sounding MIC the D104-M6B is a great choice. All the ones I have heard always sound good; good audio, clean & clear. I have been running one on my base HR2510 for the last few years, I play around with other MICS & processing gear, but when I am not running that...

Yeah, if I would have measured from the C13P hole instead, it would have definitely been closer to the 240” from the start. I did not even realize (probably did not pay attention) that the tubing on the newer ones is thicker then the old ones, that definitely seems good. My antenna has been...

office888, Yeah, I was not familiar with Delrin at all. I did a google search for Delron & most of the results were for Delrin, although there were one, maybe two that popped up for delron, but they may have misspelled it. One of the sites with antennas stated Delrin for most of them then...

I’ve been trying to remember for you Marconi! I can’t, so I had to go digging for my notes! The info I was going to give you from my memory would have been totally wrong, so I’m glad I found them & did not go the memory route, haha. I’ll be honest; I am probably in the wrong section here...

Marconi, I honestly did not re-measure it after fiddling with it, I got it under a 1.5 after putting it up, taking it down, putting it up, taking it down several times to gradually adjust the length in the 1/4" increments as stated in my manual (I did not have a big latter or it set up lower...

Hmm, there does seem to be different variations of instructions. All my copy says about mounting is as follows. On page-3 in the “MOUNTING THE BASE SECTION” “On a mast with an outside diameter of up to 1”, first position clamp ring C13P on the base and install the 5/16 x 1” hex bolt and...
