Man, work and life has kept me away for a little while. Thought I’d update this. I ended up buying one from a Ham in Ukraine of all places off eBay. It’s a pretty stellar unit. It feels kinda cheap(light and plastic). But I wanted a unit that has RF sensing for transmit and this one looks like...

Looking to get my pops something nice for Christmas. Would like a unit that has RF sensing. Thank you for looking. -Chris

Figured I would give an update here as it’s been a few days. Haven’t made too much headway as I’ve been working a ton and was out sick this weekend. Today before work I pulled out the excess power cable I had and busted out the new strippers, crimping tool and ends I picked up off Amazon. I...

Having a higher usable bandwidth sounds appealing. I feel like it may be worth picking one of these up and comparing it to my Wilson. Do you know if there is any documentation of one of these being hooked up to an analyzer? Would love to see em if you got em. My Wilson is pretty narrow banded.

That’s a sweet rig. I’d love to run a big whip. Might have to drill the roof. Wilson seems to work okay for now. The worldwide Accord has a nice ring to it.

Trunk mount was an eBay special. AFAIK they don’t make em anymore. I know you can get other makes of trunk mount and screw a Wilson on them. Can’t remember the model. I’m sure someone here could point you in the right direction. Radio is mounted with a Ram mount. It’s the RAM-111. It’s bolted to...

Slowmover you are cracking me up. I don't think my antenna would like a generator in the trunk propping it up HA! Radio is fused at 60A. Looks like I am going to step the wire size up to 4awg not SAE into a distribution block, then Ill go 8 awg from there. Should be less than two feet. Also got...

Hey Slowmover, Looks like that is what I was mixed up about. I was reading it as the negative needs to terminate closest to the ground for the battery. This makes more sense. I have a seat bolt right next to the radio. I'll give that a shot. That would cut the circuit down by 10' or so. I...

2awg to replace what is currently in there as far as connections from the battery to ground and alternator to the battery? Radio is wired with 8 gauge. This is coming out of the radio to an Anderson connector. Then the same size from connector to the battery. Would you bump that up as well?

Okay so I know I said I would do this Saturday but I decided to drink beer when I got home. I pulled out my meter and did a few tests. Car off: 12.9 volts Key down at full power car off: 10.5-11.0 volts Car on: 13.8-14.0 volts Key down at full power car on: same as above. This is measured at...

I had done some reading over at k0gb.com and was a little confused on this. He has two trains of thought going when talking about batteries and power it seems like. Extra batteries get grounded to frame, radios get grounded at the same point the radio gets grounded.

I know you have worked through your issue but I would recommend checking out the NanoVNA. It works as an antenna analyzer. They can be hand for under a hundred bucks. A ten dollar patch cable can be had to hook it up to your coax. I love mine. There is a lot of features that I am still not smart...

It’s all good man. No apologies needed. You where correct in the fact that I did leave some details out. I’m new to radios at least the more technical side of things and forums in general so bear with me. I assume I will ask questions that have been asked a million times here. I am slowly but...

Power to the radio is direct from the battery with 8 gauge wire. (positive and negative) Antenna system is a Wilson 1000 trunk mount kit. Trunk is bonded to deck with 1/2" flat braided wire. No other bonding done as of yet. SWR at 1.4 across the band. Radio was tuned at Bells CB in Florida. Only...

Good afternoon, I have done some digging but I am coming up short on answers for my questions. I am hoping that someone can give me some pointers or send me in the right direction. I'm sure the information is out there, I am just getting lost in the sea of it. So the setup I am running is a...

With the DSP filtering on the speaker I have noticed the NB/ABL doesn’t do much if I toggle it after filtering with the speaker. I am assuming that is due to the fact that the noise is being filtered digitally, so those features are not “needed”. That being said, I do leave them on anyways. If...

That AM receive was the reason I went with that speaker. It really knocks the harshness outta that hiss. I don’t usually run the DSP all the way on as it sounds like you are listening to a radio inside a sea shell. Gotta tell you, it helps with listeners fatigue if you like to have your radio on...

I appreciate it! This is the first radio I’ve installed in a few years. I got rid of the pickup truck that had tons of room for radio. I started looking around at install ideas and figured I might as well give it ago. I’m really pleased with the way this install turned out.

Good afternoon everyone, This is my first post so I hope it finds you all well. Figured I would start off my introduction with something that everyone likes to look at. Pictures! Here is my current setup and seems to be doing me quiet well. RCI-2970N3 ASTATIC 636L West Mountain Radio CLRspkr...
