Good info there loosecannon! Not just a Cb geek myself, stereos was my thing back before I got into radio. We had some fun back in those days building speakers,boxes,crossover networks ect. Cant help but say though as I feel as I may one of the few people who know what a good stereo system...
The idea I got from the floating ground was basically it made a dipole out of the mobile antenna. We ende up making a very similar thing for a guy who lives five stories up in and apartment building. Hes got a 102" whip with a floating ground on his balcony and it works great! We tried to atach...
I have a few of the radius radios. I think that was about the time they started changing in quality but the radius radios were built well. I especially liked the GM300 it was new and improved maxtrac and great for repeater TX radios. I curently only have one motorola HT and thats a radius p1225...
Okay need some info on this one. I have friend who is a fellow ham and is interested in seting one of these thing up at his house. I understand how the unit works but was wondering on what frequencies you can run the radio on with this unit. He basically want to hook it up for anyone in the area...
Not as good of quality as they once were. The older radios were built like bricks and had big heat sinks and quality construction. Its like just about everything else made these days they just are not built like they used to be. I think this is one of the other reason they lost some business in...
You got that right! Lost my interest in moto after learning how they like to do business. I still like some of their older radios though but have no interest in the new stuff or buying anything from them. The new radios they make are junk anyways or so I have been told.
Still runing my 200. Its works great and the audio clarity is great. The only current thing I dont like about the radio is that the clarifier does not track with the frequency counter after a certain amount of rotation. Also did not buy the radio froma hack shop. I got it unconverted and did it...
Being very young myself still I think most of the kids today just have no interest in radio at all unless its listening to the crap they call music. Alot of them dont even know what amtateur or ham radio is. I think society just shys away from it becouse of the fact that we have cell phone and...
LOL Mag mounts stuck to metal filing cabinets, heating vents, air condtioners, coffee cans grounded to heating vents, Metal shelves, also ran a fire stik mounted to an outdoor AC condenser unit for awhile. :P
For cell phone those are still some damn good pictures! I can only imagine this thing would beat an antron but I cant say for sure. Used to see alot of that type of antenna around here (same construction and design) but they have been taken down or messed up by the weather. It also reminds me...
I have ran into a few operators like this myself and even though they have been licenced longer than me some of them still have issues with the basics of radio. :shock:
Yeah I ended up moving from the big city to the country and was very limited on internet acess. Figured out there was a company running wireles internet for the people in my area and thats the way I went. Its nice to be back though and chong passed the fives on so it was nice to hear you guys...
