    KL 203P install, first timer

    Your Welcome, 12w or less P.E.P will give a cleaner signal ;) For the RMS value of Peak voltage you would use the formula 1/sq rt of 2 = 1/1.41 = .707 that's it rounded to 3 decimal places/digits after the point. The formula is only for true sine waves ;) Generally SSB P.E.P is measured...

    Hy-Gain SPT-500 Super Penetrator Question

    As aluminium alloy is far dearer now than the 70's I'd expect it to use a lesser quality grade than previously, this will have little if any effect on performance but may affect strength, only way performance will suffer is if matching circuit is lower quality than original, which again probably...

    KL 203P install, first timer

    Whatever !! Galaxy and Connex are both made by RCI by the way, and techs generally do what dumb people ask them, They might not sound bad to you, they do to me, I wouldn't do your radios for all the money in the world cause you wouldn't appreciate it, I notice Kenwood,Yaesu and Icom are...

    KL 203P install, first timer

    Hi mate, Firstly we came to the approx 70% by different means, your using the RMS value of.707 on a manufacturing claim and on a P.E.P output, RMS is the root mean square of the wave voltage not the P.E.P power. My conservative 70% came from the way the amplifier is biased, and what bias...

    HANGING A DIPOLE VERTICALLY

    TO Stellasarat, sorry if I jumped down your throat, I don't deal too great when I think people are mocking me, not on this thread, the other one you started, i tried to help you and although may have been a bit technical for you, i had actually simplified it a lot, anyway I ain't offended, I...

    KL 203P install, first timer

    Glad to hear you've had so many pm's of support,pity they ain't got the gonads to do it on an open forum, but I'm sure it makes you feel justified in your claims, but then Antron / Solarcon sell many many Antron A99's and those people think they are good antennas, so delusion is rife in cb...

    HANGING A DIPOLE VERTICALLY

    I just say whit ah think, bans are an occupational hazaard to me Conor, still only 4 by the way, lol ;) You try to help somebody and they try to rip the pish out you, not much else you can do but tell the truth. My trouble is I just don't give a fuck, I'd rather be hung for being honest and...

    HANGING A DIPOLE VERTICALLY

    You could be right Robb, I should have said original Big Stick, as enything over 6" in the last 20 or 30 years Shakespeare have called big stick (maybe the owner has penile issues or something,lol), I'm pretty sure the original was nothing more than a basic centre fed sleeve dipole, later...

    KL 203P install, first timer

    Kl203 and KL203p are different beasts, The only one struggling to grasp what a clean AM signal is is you, anything over a 4:1 swing ratio is overmodulation and most definately not clean, 3w swinginging 20 is far from 100% modulation, SSB has roughly a 50% duty cycle compared to AM, so...

    HANGING A DIPOLE VERTICALLY

    Hi 359, The choke is 1/4 wave from feedpoint, T2LT and Big Stick are centre fed Dipoles,as well as setting the bottom 1/4 wave radiator, it also chokes/reduces common mode current on the shields outer skin past the choke on the radio side, Gainmaster uses the exact same method but is a 5/8...

    HANGING A DIPOLE VERTICALLY

    Mock away Stellasarat, if you want it simplified here it is, go buy the biggest fucking burner you can find cause with your knowledge unless you live on top of a mountain that's the only way you'll ever work 50 miles.I tried to help you and you show your ignorance in abundance and try to mock...

    KL 203P install, first timer

    Fuses at battery are essential in my opinion, agu fuseholders for in car hifi are best way to go, you can also buy agu splitters so you can run one heavy duty wire from battery fused to handle whole load, and split it into smaller loads inside, as each item is individually fused anyway should be...

    What is a Chipswitched tuned up Uniden 2830 with factory bracket, manual, power cord,

    Here in uk isn't as rare, will draw 150 to 180 quid in good nick, 575-m6 highly collectable here, again in good nick about 50 to 80 quid, troubles are as Jeff Audioshockwave has pointed out, many parts no longer available, although some Lincolns were made right up till about 2005 and imported...

    HANGING A DIPOLE VERTICALLY

    If your going with a vertical dipole, why not investigate the T2LT tuned transmission line trap antenna, can be hung to a tall tree or fitted to a 10m non conductive telescopic mast, its basically a coaxial made dipole equivalent to a Shakespeare big stick but using an rf choke to set length...

    New president lincoln 2

    Jackson ain't only radio Uniden have made with agc issues,been a few from what I recall they may be Uniden radios at Qixiang prices, but unlike Quixiang who listen to customer feed back Uniden have alway been complacent about admitting or rectifying faults, As for front end overload,I used to...

    President Grant 2........?

    Must admit I've never tried one, in chip shops I go for a fish,chicken or king rib supper, or fish and chips and chicken or king rib and chips as they are known in England, Ask for a fish supper there and they look at you as if you have horns,baring the same blank expression they do on the odd...
