All we are saying is a tune is not just a tune. In fact, the way a radio sounds is only as good as the tech that worked on it. Copper is a bargain basement wholesale seller, that means factory seconds, returns, closeouts, discontinued models, scratch and dent, and a small amount of new good...
Yea, he does alot of work to them so he deserves some green for his effort. What most people don't realize is they are better off just getting an export already done up. For what people are paying for these radio's they could get a new Galaxy 94.
I had a 148F GTL-DX + and it was a dual 1969 final radio, very much like a Connex 4800. Does yours have the heat sink on the back? If so it's already dual finals.
Dude, you bought it from Copper.........good luck. At least buy just the radio from them but for god sake don't let them "tune" it for you. Their radio techs are a joke, of you go to their forum ( which is a joke) and post anything at all that questions what their techs do they boot you off the...
Ok, Galaxy might try a larger radio I don't know. I think they are kinda at a reasonable limit with four 1446 finals, four 2879's will add new problems into the mix.
One question I have is the reason given for these radio's is drivers that cannot run an amplifier in their truck so they need...
Whatever radio you get don't go jacking it all up by putting 2879's in it. That has to be the poorest suggestion I have seen yet. Give the radio a nice clean correct tune and leave it alone. If you want more power get a smaller radio and a decent amp or keep the radio and get a big amp. I'm sure...
These radio's have always been decent but nothing outstanding. It seems like they are really taking off in popularity these days. They sell for strong money on e-bay, and several people have been decking them out with lights, channels, echo, and such and they bring rediculous money. I'm talking...
Skip runs on an 11 year cycle. We are just climbing out of the quiet years now. From what I remember 98-2000 were exellent skip years so it won't be long.
Nice stout little dual final radio. Try and look for a newer blue display version, and if they make a mosfet version then that would be the most up-dated model.
They rock on AM or SSB. I ran my Delta side by side with a Justin tuned S3 and a Bobs tuned S9. The Delta blew the gutted S3 away ( top gun and speech processor yanked out). Against the S9 the on air reports were dead even, the S9 did do 10 more watts peak then the Delta. I was told the SSB was...
Why can't people just appreciate that radio for what it is. Give it a nice clean correct tune, bolt the cover on and leave it the heck alone. Some clown shop has to go and stick 2879's in a radio that was not made to work properly with those finals and it sure as heck can't keep things cool that...
You better really be on your game to go AC in the mobile. While it can be done it's not the best way to go big in the mobile for an every day driver winter or summer. You might look at a motor maul run with an 8 or 16 pill.
rabbiporkchop, since your in PA I'm surprised you don't send it to Bob's cb in your state. It's well known he's the best with Magnum radio's and you would save a bunch on shipping to boot.
LOL, hey I just said some people like him and think he's good, since this cat is in VA it would be close. I don't think you could go wrong having DTB work on your radio, he's a sharp cookie.
This radio stuff is funny that way. Each forum has their golden techs that can walk on water and do...
In case you forgot there were issues with the forum here maybe a month ago. Some kind of trojan horse virus or something like that was here. Lots of members with virus protection had alerts and warnings from there service. This should all go away when they re-test the site and all is clear. If...
