Gismotchy v/s maco I think I can rest my case!! The manufactures stats were listed here, true. However, the original question seems to have been ignored. Testosterone or ego? I'm not sure why, and don't really care. For any honest real world assessment of the...

Gizmotchy/ maco The sad part of this from my perspective, and I'm sure others will agree. Is that for all of your claims to the contrary, none of you are following you own advice. I have spent a considerable part of the last 30 years, studying and testing , assembling and using...

Gizmotchy antennas/? Master Chief; You & the above studies are still comparing apples to oranges or some other fruit. I can tell that this is a waste of my time attempting to convince you, as I truly believe you already know better. The industry accepted reference is an "isotropic...

gizmotchy antenna To respond to the original question; The Gizmo antenna, and for that matter, several beam antennas, can be operated verically or horizontally polarized or both. There have even been antennas that were circularly polarized. Lou Franklin describes one on his...

Gizmotchy antenna For anyone interested, the review from CB Magazine can also be found at Gizmotchy antennas website. Also several pictures and reviews and testimonials, from very knowledgeable users. www.gizmotchy.com marven :shock: Not Grumpy, he was probably insulted by that.

Gitzmotchy 5 element antenna masterchief; I am not going to let that one go. You personally are offensive and when the facts don't go your way then you resort to name calling. I don't want to know why. The results of the several different tests, have been out for...

gizmotchy antenna I noticed the same question isn't asked of any of the other antennas mentioned. And the question is only valid, if asked of all of them. CB Magazine used the same guidelines and qualifications for all their antenna tests. However, to answer your question; the...

Gizmotchy antenna For the sake of future arguement; The 19 db gain for the 5 element Gizmo antenna is a direct quote from the CB Magazine antenna review from 1981. This was an independent evaluation. Not from the manufacturer, but confirming their figures. My source is Kens...

Northpoint CBS-1000 Put me down for several more. I'm sure these will sell well. Nothing else like them, for the money. marven :roll:

Northpiont CBS-100 base I actually like them for what they are. Am, USB,Lsb & WX base. An excellent low power base with channel expansion capability, scanner and freq. counter. All that and weather bands also. I'm keeping mine, not that I need it. lol But really handy, and fun...

Northpoint CBS-1000 I have it from a fairly reliable source, that only 320 of these new units have been built. Anyone know for sure? marven :roll:

s-9 Snoope; I couldn't agree more with almost everything you said. It was a little hard for me to follow. lol :D You reiterate my basic points very well. I still believe that the biggest problem with people not liking an S series Magnum, and probably most others they...

s-9 I realise I may be getting a little off topic here, but having said that. ha Here goes. I have also noticed a trend with people asking the question, " why would I want to know who set up the radio?". I believe that the other satisfied and proud radio operators are telling us...

magnum s-9 I have had, and still have, several of the radio's listed so far. The one I use everyday, and like the best for Am, is the Magnum s-9. I haven't found any radio that has the vocal authority of the s-9, when adjusted right. I have noticed that most of the people, who I know...

ft 101 ee After your posts and looking in the service manual , I think it was a speach processor board. Wish I had one! lol At least now, I don't think I will be causing damage powering it up. I really appreciate the help, thanks!!! marven :roll:

swang kit switch kit; I can't agrree more on your sentiments, Not what I was refering to. I was simply poking a litte fun at the way it was written. One big long paragragh, possibly only 2 sentences. If a person wants to run a kicker, then they may need to use a modulation mod of...

101ee I haven't powered the radio at all, because the wires are a chopped up mess, spegettied all over. I 've been afraid to put power to it, until I get them all quarantined. I talked to the owner, who said he hadn't been able to get it to power up. I was wanting to know a little...

swang kit? That just makes me shudder, NOT TO EVEN mention HARD to even read about!! :twisted: marven :roll:

At the risk of sounding like a dumb axx, which with this radio I are. A customer brought this one into the shop last week, missing the board under the top cover. It had been chopped out of the radio. I've ordered a service manual and pcb schematic, but don't yet know what this board that...

dual band antenna Masterchief; There was an observation I'll make, for the jpole antennas. With the cost of some plumbing metals today, I'm not sure that "inexpensive" would apply for that antenna. ha marven :shock:
