    RCI 2970N2 Mounting screw thread size?

    Like the title says, what size thread for the 4 mounting screws on a 2970N2? Black screen, green numbers. 5mm or 6mm? Bracket for a 148 will work right? Thanks

    Any Thoughts on the 757 amps?

    With enough swamping resistors on the input, you could drive a 1 pill with 5KW. You just burn off the excess power as heat and give the transistors what they're looking for. Waste of energy, especially in a mobile setup where you're limited by your alternator. No point in running a driver to...

    Passive or Powered Monitor Speakers?

    If you're considering powered speakers, look at the West Mountain Radio ClearSpeech DSP speaker. Adds AF DSP to any radio. Pricey, but good stuff.

    Any Thoughts on the 757 amps?

    850 out of 4 2879s is going to be mostly garbage coming out, I can't imagine 1kw. 500W out of 4 2879s at 13.8V is a good honest number. Much more than that and you're spewing trash.

    WTB: Uniden PRO510XL/520XL/Cobra 19 or other cheap radio & mag mount

    Recon, I appreciate the offer, and that's a great deal if I needed two compact sized radios, however I only need one, haha. The deal on Walmart.com isn't bad, they don't have it in stock at my local store, but they do have free shipping... Hrm

    WTB: Uniden PRO510XL/520XL/Cobra 19 or other cheap radio & mag mount

    Looking for some inexpensive equipment to set up for a friend I go off roading with. I think the 510, 520, or Cobra 19 would be great for compact size, but if the price is right, anything goes. Ideally comes with a mic, doesn't have to be the original. Also looking for a compact mag mount...

    Thought I'd seen it all.......

    When I buy a new car, I'm going to capture all the air from the original tires and hold onto it for 40 years and sell it as vintage, original air, for the finishing touches on a numbers matching restoration

    Ameritron question on unit I purchased

    W8JI, the designer of these amplifiers, says adjustment of the tuning slugs is unlikely to be necessary, and to avoid messing with them. Your radio probably doesn't make enough power in unmodulated AM (~25W) to tune an AL80B to full power. Tune in CW or FM, start at a relatively low power then...

    Radio power output down to 30% or so

    Butyl rubber for weather proofing. Usually comes in a kit with several rolls of butyl, a roll of narrow electrical type tape, and a roll of wide electrical type tape. It's a little messy but it lasts for years. First you wrap your coax and connector with the narrow tape. Always wrap from the...
