    Download and run that file... its safe... yea...

    downloaders=no, never, not ever trust a downloader. I do not care how (formerly) legit the website hosting is, a downloader is for one thing, putting crap on your PC you dont want that is difficult if not next to impossible to get rid of. Why would you need something to download something when...

    VV808

    Looks like a UV5R turned sideways with a CPU fan so they could jack the power up to 10 watts. I'll pass. I could get a commercial radio and programming cable off ebay for about the same cost as that thing. Knowing china radios they dont scan worth a darn, so no real point in having a...

    New cobra 29 LTD chrome

    flip to channel 6 during the day and see if the meter swings. Transducers go bad, even new speakers. I fixed quite a few radios that had bad speakers or mic elements. If you can see RX, try and external speaker. I have had 2 cobras with bad speakers, One I fixed and sold, the other it...

    Hidden magnet for discretely mounting mic

    I am firm believer in drilling holes and in my vintage vw diesel was worth it for a good solid place to quickly clip and unclip the mic. It will be included if I ever do sell it. The car is not decripid but not show grade either. If u absolutely can't alter it I think stick on Velcro or side...

    lids on lsb and am

    my best times on 11 meter are mostly SSB mode, at night between 9 and 11 when the skip starts to leave and the locals get on. the skip usually fades in and out and we get 'guest' from far far away. during the day its just one big pile up, QRM, or that brabrabrateenfeeerauuudioooo overmodulated...

    FCC Fines Pennsylvania Man $18,000 for Failing to Allow Inspection of CB Station

    Enough power and I have seen car stereo speakers play music, with the radio off. Even without harmonics, splatter, etc, just power alone with 'overpower' many electronic devices. only solution is for the victims of such RFI to shield and choke their electronics, or for the perpetrator to raise...

    dumb question, what does cause a spur?

    Any FCC busts for DXing?

    Its not the CB band they care about, its all the other bands that CB operators splatter into. Name me one instance in the last 10 years where the FCC busted someone because they felt like enforcing the rules of the citizens band service. I have found none, absolutely no enforcement action...

    FCC Fines Pennsylvania Man $18,000 for Failing to Allow Inspection of CB Station

    the guy was causing all sorts of RFI. Coulda been harmonics from a splatterbox or screwdriver special, or could have been direct RFI, because some people in some urban situations just should not run power unless they can get that antenna up above everyone. Thank the FCC for creating...

    108" fiberglass whip on an NMO

    I am kinda thinking some sort of marine mount at this point, i have seen marine mounts that were designed to just fall down if too much force impacted the antenna, and they fold down .or the cheapest nmo=3/8 adapter i can find and use it stationary only. or......nota, what i have is not bad...

    108" fiberglass whip on an NMO

    I think the whip itself would be the first thing to go. I will still use my maxrad for general use and keep the whip in the rod holder. I will use it mostly while parked or when I know the trip will not involve woods or drive thru . What I think would rip it out would be the flexing of antenna...

    108" fiberglass whip on an NMO

    Will the NMO connector hold up. I have an NMO mount drilled through the roof of my car, and I am looking for a 3/8 to NMO adapter to mount a 108" whip. The wider the adapter, or more surface area it takes up, the better.

    low cost NMO to 3/16" whip adapter

    maybe there is a cheap nmo base I could get from a commercial antenna, like a 1/4 wave UHF whip. All I need is the base that holes the whip.

    10/11M radio with detachable front panel

    There really is no detachable face, FCC approved CB radio sold in the US. You could order one direct from europe, but since our dollar is crap expect to pay upwards of $200, plus about $50 in shipping. Then, if you care, the euro radio will still not be approved for use in the USA. Make sure...
