I just finished my mobile installation, TRC-465, Midland 500w NMO mount ant, and a Gray 300 bi-linear. I had used the amp before with my base setup, no issues other than I never really checked it other than the built in SWR function on my kenwood. Tested jumper from amp to radio with a...

100 watts peak on AM, with 50 watt carrier that does not leave much room for audio, try backing carrier down to about 25 watts, it will be much louder and last longer. Running a TX star amp, even less power, make sure you back the carrier and gain way down. So far down on mine the internal...

you might want to keep what revision of the UV3R you got under wraps. Back when I was shopping for an HT I was reading up on the UV3R and found out it could display freq in 1.25cm but no TX or RX, and read another report where it would TX but somewhere around 5mW! I am not the least surprised...

For a high power radio you will need to use bigger wiring just like an amp. Under 300 watts stock batteries n charging sys should do. Probably ok with 500 amp. Running heavy gauge wire is worth every bit effort and if done right makes vehicle more desirable to buy when sell it. You can run...

Personally I would save my money and not buy a high power radio, but I would get a TRC453, TRC-465,PC-122XL, President AX-144, or Uniden Pro 810 and a small amp like an RM or TX Star, several options exist for uppers and lowers for most of these radios, I think the TRC-465 and PC-122 are pretty...

This doesn't apply to 11 meter freeband and CB does it.......ok.....good.

Probably something digital and modern would work best. The question is, do you have small children? if so forget it, your best bet something like a Cobra 19 and a small amp.

I dont use the NB anyway, my vehicle has no ignition or electronics to control the motor. At night I can drive outside of town, squelch off and volume turned up and not hear a thing until someone keys up.

At least I could use the "mobile CW transmitter" for its intended purpose, unlike the "10 meter radio" that cant legally transmit squat on 10 meters, except maybe as a beacon. Yes the manufactures should start calling such radios, "10 meter mobile beacon transceivers" to set them apart from...

The AR-3500 and the Optima yeti are real 10 meter (and 12) radios just as much as kenwood,yaesu,icom, or an HTX-10. I checked out the AR-3500 and that thing is nice, and it does split freq. Dude if people would figure out how to use split on 11 meters that would piss on the parade of the local...

a real export radio, not even trying to pretend its ham, just illegal in your face!

My Kenwood TS-440 has NB, notch filter and IF shift to get rid of noise.

I did not buy it They are an attempt at a legal loophole to sell substandard junk disguised as a more powerful CB with more channels. Hybrid only in technicality, only a few I have seen would even reach the SSB portion of 10m, with RX sensitivity and TX power reduced to crap due to lack of...

I saw that and posted it in another thread. I heard the Scanner was the reason they bid it up so high, because its just like one from Smokey and the Bandit. Personally I think its crap, any other week that Scanner in that condition would be $50-$100 tops, but someone also has a Pace 10-4U...

I have exactly ZERO knowledge or experience with the icom v8000, however I have seen more than once a burned out final transistor that would still output some signal from the driver, so I think you may have an easy fix on radio #1. Radio #2, well does the signal meter do anything when you...

Nothing against the old cobras or the guts inside them, but I am so sick of looking at the same boring, obsolete cobra like radios after 30 years of knowing what a CB radio was. Its 2013, the future, we should all have jetpacks and work on the moon and mars by now. And our FCC approved...

I would take a CB with channel kit and a small amp any day over any "10 meter" radio that looks like a Cobra 29 on crack. I saw what would have been a great deal on craigslist today for a Superstar with SSB (great deal as in I could turn around and sell it on ebay tomorrow and double my...
