    An Indoor Antenna Setup

    Yes it can be done. Is it worth it, not if you have a radio in your vehicle!!! Range is very short and it's hard to get a decent match. Been there and done that. Metal AC unit in a hotel room. 2nd floor. Could talk a couple miles if that. And only with an AM radio. I found it was...

    This is amazing.......

    For the amount of money it's bid to at the moment you could add a little more and get a yaseu FT450D. Can't see it being a better radio than the Yaseu. But hey I could be wrong. Just don't see $600 worth of radio, sorry. Rare or not. To each his own. I'll hang onto my money for...

    Weak solar cycles = another big decline of the 11 meter local & DX population

    How you like the Sirio vector 4000 Robb?? I am about to put mine back up at about 35-40 feet or so. A bit higher than I have ever had it. And it talked consistently out to 65 miles daily. And yes, these arestraight shot miles! Hoping to have it back up soon. Mast is already up again. A...

    Anan 200D and Yaesu FTDX 5000

    Good catch fellas!! Another scammer busted!! Man, do these PUNKS think they can just come to a well known forum like this and others like it, and post up one post selling equipment that just is too good to be true!! And like RS showed, it has a different web address as well on another pic...

    Cobra 89 XLR, low modulation.

    Keep at it LeapFrog. You've come this far, as long as the issues you have that remain are resolvable, then hey why not learn to push through it and fix it!! Best way to truly learn something IMO. You won't forget that radio I'll bet, for a long time!! Be it good, bad, or indifferent...

    New Palomar Ceramic Microphone

    Good stuff Eric. Appears to have a good sound to it from the videos I watched. And IDK if those mics were modded or not as it wasn't stated they were. I.E., a pot for mic Gain adjustment and also soldering of the pins. Will have to give one a try. If it's anything like my RF Limited...

    Stryker slimmed down SR-447 HPC2

    Try holding menu and band buttons then turn on the radio go to CB Band then hold menu to select band. This was posted on another forum. It appears this radio shares the same board as many other exports being sold today. It's all menu driven. Hope this helps.

    Base antenna Problems

    I would make yourself a choke at the feedpoint. Or add some snap on ferrite chokes. Also a Low Pass Filter would be another good investment as well as good coax, and a surge arrester. Make sure you ground the mast well. This will all help keep you from bleeding into the neighbors...

    Stuck and need some opinions

    Or place antenna back as far as you can on roof, making sure sunroof clears when opened fully. This should give you enough room to place the magnet mount if that is what you got. If you went with a hard mount, do the same. This will keep the antenna base above the roof line and still provide...

    Anyone running the Sirio P5000 in their mobile

    For a good fixed or hard mount, look st the Breedlove mounts. The 3" one hole mount works very well with the Sirio 5000 base load antenna or even the trucker one. They have a bunch of different mounts, and all are very well built and work well. I installed a Breedlove 3" one hole mount and a...

    11 meter (M103c) Antenna for Shortwave...

    Best to either run a long wire or get a discone antenna. Those work best for SW listening. Just my experience.

    tower guying

    No IMO!!! You want to have at least 2-3 sets of guyed wires in groups of 3 or more, coming down a tower that size and also all other proper or needed things for installing a tower that tall. I could be wrong, but I doubt it ok this one. I wouldn't trust 2 long and one shorter guyed wire for...

    New here. Need 29lx with kl203p info

    There are some good techs out West. Not sure about your particular state, (Oregon), being one that I recall having any shops or techs that are worth a darn. Might try Doug's Custom CB,s, Key CB shop, and I'm pretty sure that that are more of me than I can think of at the moment. Robb, Sonoma...

    New here. Need 29lx with kl203p info

    You will need to lower the dead key. 3-4 watts of dead key will be way too much!! .25-2 watts is where you may need to be. You can have a variable power added to the where the Delta Tune knob is now. Don't use the factory knob, but rather get one that will handle the job. Any good tech can...

    Best Moblie Antenna for OTR Truck

    You might also want to look at one of the Rig Expert analyzers as well. Supposed to be pretty good ones. The AA-30 would be one to look at. Just some food for thought. Be safe on the road. Good evening.
