DX Wyoming to Virginia and Maine. Barefoot Cobra 29 with the stock 2078, tuned by Q5. Local 10+ miles with bad noise issues with the truck on a barefoot Uniden PC122 tuned by Q5. could barely pull the guy in over the severe noise but he had no problem hearing me.

A steel whip won't trip the overheight sensors. they are set with a minimum beam interruption time so that there aren't false activations due to birds, insects, etc. flying through the beam. The 102 on the roof of my car hits the bridge on Brady St. in downtown Davenport, IA, but it does not...

Currently running this contraption. It's a barjan oil coil 54" up in the air. thinking of tossing the 102 back on. what say you?

No receiver adjustment is a deal breaker for me. But, I suspect this is in the future for all CBs. I'll bet 5¢ that the FCC is clamping down on type acceptance and wants as few adjustments as possible to cut down on modifications. I'll bet another 5¢ that Uniden's refusal to release schematics...

I've been in there quite a few myself and have overheard it several times from the sales guy with the glasses.

Current favorite walk-in tech is Steve @ Q5. Current favorite mail-in tech is Mark @ Fine Tune.

Total brain fart. didn't watch it because I've seen them both but I was thinking of the "where all the big radios at today" one. Fixed the post.

Also, I'm surprised they sold you 12 feet of coax. My experiences there suggest that they're forehead deep in the 18' coax myth.

From what I understand about Bob, have him do the basic tune only and it will be decent, but have him do the high watt/comp tune, you'll end up with a junk box that sounds like manure and fades out into the distance pretty quick. But that's pretty typical of comp tunes in general in my...

Also I've talked to rabbi on the phone, can confirm, he is not Mark. He just hasn't found any other tech that gives him a better performing radio, hence the shameless plugging, I can respect that.

I live 20 minutes away from Walcott CB. If Orlando tunes your radio, it will be decent. I had a DX 939 tuned by Dan, found that the coils in the back of the radio were slinky'd and the AMC was jacked wide open. Might as well just cut the damn limiter at that point. Sometimes the coils do...

Boring. Radio > phone.

I just whipped up another one. This one really makes the Palomar look bad... I hadn't used the CR-577 in a while...think I'll be going back to using it full time. The meter shows a higher mean as well. Remember that this is actual OTA audio, coming out of a radio, not a mic tester.

Yes, in the first video the roll-off is in, and it's out in the second. The 2018 settings were delay 3/volume 2 in the first video. going from 2 to 1.5 makes a pretty big difference considering how little you move the dial. Rather than removing the dials, I cut a mark into them at the sweet...

In which video? in the first one with the 6 different mics, I had the echo too high, in the second one it was dead on.

The hinge on the key broke on mine. still works but you have to press it just right.

And the JM+2 sounded as it did because it's 40+ years old and it just doesn't pick up the high frequencies.

Also, I'm sure this has been covered, but this mic is electret condenser, not ceramic.

I see my video made it over here. I did another one, shorter, using my Galaxy DX 86V.

I have one, it is top loaded.
