    Who else thinks they are blocking the skip with chemtrails or haarp?

    We used to have a Ben Franklin store in town... or was it a Lincoln Plaza... I don't know. It Confucius me!

    Presenting the reincarnation of the sl41 (stryker sr-76nc)

    The good news is that Stryker is now designing, building and testing in-house. The near-future will not share the current tech as it is now. They're already building their own daughter boards for the new 955 models.

    Presenting the reincarnation of the sl41 (stryker sr-76nc)

    The good news is...there is another SSB radio in the works. That bad news is it's about the size of a Cobra 29. I can't elaborate on the features and asthetics right now. Also, there will be another NC mic from Stryker that will boast a dynamic element. Something to look forward to.

    Galaxy saturn low output

    My buddy had a major issue with his Galaxy as it kept throwing a carrier on SSB. Didn;t know it until it smoked his Texas Star 250 one day when it threw a 16w dead key into it on SSB.

    Camp Grayling is not in the UP. It's downstate at grayling, michigan in Crawford County. We used to have K.I. Sawyer up here.

    Looking for a CB / meter rig? Maybe 12m too?

    I would strongly suggest the Stryker 955

    Not a problem. That's what everyone is here for! I would at least call them and see if you can get to speak with a senior tech. Explain that all your equipment seems to land in the center of the scale so you want it calibrated to the center. the guy I spoke with was really good, knew everything...

    I have to believe it's in the calibration. I sent my Diawa in to the factory with a note requesting they calibrate it to the center of the scale for each power setting. Diawa usually calibrates the meter to the top of their scales, and this will make the meter less sensitive towards the lower...

    Make sure you're putting about 5 watts carrier into it, and that the meter is on the 20 watt scale in average mode. Not pep.

    TV Commercial Volume Stabilized.

    Yeah, now and then my limiter kicks in and cuts the audio so bad I can't hear it for a few seconds. It's very slow. Getting to be a pain. Funny how new technology seems to make everything much worse than the old days.

    TV Commercial Volume Stabilized.

    I stream everything and use my Roku service the most. My TV is the latest model Samsung and I have the auto-volume enabled to try to help the situation. But that seems to be confused as well because it keeps going slowly softer then louder, then softer, etc. Effects and audience noise seems to...

    TV Commercial Volume Stabilized.

    I've noticed this and what really irks me is I need to crank up to hear the dialog, but then the stupid laugh tracks they stick in come ripping through.

    I made a quick video of my meter working. I'm not a pro videographer but you can see how the meter works anyway.

    Also, make sure you don't have the peak hold switch flipped up on the back. Keep the PEAK HOLD switch off, and make sure you're using the proper power scale for your particular input. Start with a barefoot radio, push the 20W scale button in and keep the Average/pep button popped out. You should...

    The 901 is very simple. The watt meter is self explanatory. Pick the scale needed. The SWR can only be used in Average mode and AM or FM. You read the line where the two needles intersect.

    Holy crap! Sorry to hear that. Hope everything goes well and you get back to normal soon. Good luck to you, my friend.

    I second the Daiwa 901. It's what I use and it's stout.
