And jet.com has the 980 for $108.99 with free shipping. Not bad price at all for a brand new cb/SSB radio!! Especially one that is dead on frequency out of the box and are rock solid on SSB. No drifting with this radio!! Just some more info. Check Amazon as well. Good luck.

Yes the Sirio performer 5000 is a good antenna. One of the best mobile antennas I have used. Get the PL145 magnet mount with it and you'll have a good antenna setup. As for the radio, the 980 is a good one. I recommended it based off the one I have and use. Like said, leave it stock. Have...

Okay. As far as tuning the radio, you don't want to do with the antenna. You would want a 50ohm dummy load. A 25 watt one would work, but I would recommmend getting a 100 watt one as to have plenty of headroom for the future. As for a VSWR/Power meter, the Diawa CN101L is a pretty good...

Weird. Works on AM, but SSB has issue. Is it direct from Yeticomm? If so, try giving an email to them. If not, maybe try lowering the power some on SSB. Say to 40-50 watts PEP. See if it changes. And also is this into a dummy load? Or antenna? Sorry for all the questions. Just...

Price will vary depending on your location and whether or not there is a competent person with all the of the necessary equipment to do the work correctly. The cost of one of the those radios these days that is in used working condition is most likely about $30-$60 at most. I am not saying...

I totally understand not wanting to mess with it at the moment codeman!! I too need have a project that I am dreading to do and seems like every weekend I am just too worn down to do it. One day right! One day! I totally feel your pain man!! Have a good one and keep safe on the road. 73...

I have found that both CB'ers and HAM guys/girls alike can be aholes. It's not the hobby, it's the person! Take away the hobby and the person is still the same. But hey we all have our own opinions about things. To All, have a great day. 73 and God Bless

Pretty much same here. My boss went under the knife not long ago either for neck surgery. A couple rods and screws later he is not able to work at all anymore. So I pick up the total workload now!! Been a rough few weeks as well for me!! I am still hopeful I'll make it there. And if not...

Not that long Wavrider. Look at the dates. But still a long time for no more stuff. Since July 2016. So about 6 months ago he last posted. Please don't take this as me being the date police LOL! Hope all is well. Been hearing some action on 40 meters the last few days. Hopefully soon...

Yes. But be very wary who you buy one from if you do decide to do that. JMHO. There is a forum member here that may be able to help you. I am not going to spread his name as IDK if he wants that. He may pop up and respond to a post. But he is good and knows his stuff. Anyhow. Like I...

No worries. Sorry I can't be of more help. I am not a tech and don't even try to be!! Leave that to the ones that have all the proper equipment to do so. But anyhow, I hope you get it fixed and working like it should. Good day.

Hey codeman, have you tried to use a mounting bracket and screw it down or even some industrial Velcro along the entire bottom of the radio and the bottom of the cubby you have it in. Pretty sure some good Velcro would hold fine. But the mount would definitely hold it being screwed down...

Well I hope you get an answer. Possibly the gent at this site can help you, DOCSELECTRONICS.COM. He specializes in that radio and know a lot about them. He is supposed to be one of the best with working on that particular radio and a couple others that are similar. And I hope you get it...

Wouldn't the simple answer be to just not click on the thread that you don't want to go to?? Be it base or mobile stuff?? Or am I missing something. I usually set my page up to bring up all new and recent posts. If I need to find something else I will use the search function. I suppose...

Just sounds like too much work for what you want. Heck like someone else said, get a Grant 2 and be done. As for the 980, it's the best bang for the buck for a CB/SSB FCC certified radio out at the moment. JMHO. I'd run one of the 980's over a galaxy radio all day!! At least I know the...

Now you have more than plenty to run any HF radio you want to and also run other things too and still have some headroom for sure!! I wouldn't hesitate ordering another S400-12 or even the S700-12. They are pretty darn good power supplies for the money! And they don't produce any hash that I...

Maybe a few pics of the board both top and bottom might help someone see the issue. And also might want to check and see what type of chipswitch was installed or how they did the frequency mod. Something didnt work right. Maybe that is why it sold as not working. Hope you get it resolved.

Ive have been using one of the MegaWatt S400-12 power supplies for over 2 years now and will say for the money they are hard to beat!! 36A and cost is $65. They are small and take up very little room as well as having a 2yr warranty and awesome CS!! I would highly recommend one of these. And...

I get that same thing when I engage both NB1 and NB2 on my old kenwood ts140s. Does well with the #1NB, but adding the 2nd one distorts the signal. Makes it sound garbled. But it does have a decent NB as well.

You cal also add a rubber grommet to the top cable entry hole. That is if you wanted to. That would help seal things off s bit better as well. Just food for thought. And I am with BBB, the best option would have been to place both the power supply and coax/cable in the junction box as well...
