What is the best way to center up the clarifier at 12 o’clock on a uniden 980? Mine is the old version made in 2014. I’ve always had to have the clarifier at the 11 o’clock position to hear people on frequency. The radio was transmitting on 27.383.02 MHz on 38lsb which is to far off frequency...

I don’t know why anyone on a budget would ever spend more than say 300ish dollars on a cb radio, or export that only does 10/11 meters for base use. if you just have to have a $1000 cobra 2000, I guess nobody can talk them out of it. I believe a new ic718 is about 500 dollars. There are good...

If it’s on eBay, maybe 200.00 plus 150.00 for shipping, and it’s listed as for parts not working, like 5 crappy pictures all with the covers on. The description in the listing is like 5 words that tell you nothing about whether the radio works or not. This is not the case with every 2k listed on...

Yeah it’s pretty stupid. I’ve messaged people on eBay asking questions like, so does it work. And they get offended. I will never buy another radio from eBay. I’ve had better luck with shopgoodwill.com until the virus hit, now there’s not much on there. The prices get to high sometimes, but it...

Well I did the big three upgrade, including upgrading a couple of the ground wires about three years ago, then about a month ago I put one 10” subwoofer in a ported truck style box behind the seat, and a 1500 watt power acoustic mono block amp. I never really intended to put any car audio stuff...

The plan originally was to use the top posts, I swapped all the wiring in one afternoon. I thought I already had some top post battery lugs, (the cheap lead ones) in my tool box junk drawer all I had was side post battery extended things. I still haven’t gotten around to it yet.

I wouldn’t even dream of it! I pretty much have it narrowed down between a Sirio 5000 or one of the president antennas.

I already got her big three’d up lol, all the battery and alternator wires have been upgraded. The pictures don’t do it justice, the wires are much better than stock

I’m shure this has been asked before. But now that where beginning to start to ease into a new solar cycle. I want to install me a mobile setup again, and this time around I don’t want to use a Wilson 1000 mag mount. I want to hard mount an antenna in the middle of the roof of my 97 regular...

I will admit, I bought a roaddevil mic from him wired for a six pin uniden 980. He also did his foam mods to it. I believe he charged me about 55 or 60 dollars shipped for the brand-new roaddevil with his mods done to it, which was actually not that bad of a price, at least in my opinion...

You probably are already aware, but be careful cutting welding and grinding on used oilfield pipe it’s almost always full of radio active scale aka norm. A lot of scrap metal places wave a Geiger counter over it before they will even accept it.

Look on eBay you can find knock offs of the mfj-347 for cheaper, if you don’t want to make your own. I’m about to do the same thing with two Mfj 20 meter hamsticks, just to try an save a little space, I’ve also found the 40 meter full-size wire dipole that I built back in 2015 but never hung up...

Seeing your antenna makes me want to build one similar to yours. I even have a star duster hub that I got for free, that I can use.

From everything I have read on here, the quality of the a99 and imax has gone down significantly, in just the last few years.and they’ve made undesirable changes to them. I’m not even certain, if anyone knows where there manufactured now.Or who the company is that actually owns them. I think...

Ok thank you

Yes vehicle prices are stupid high now, you can easily spend 70,000 dollars on a 4x4 truck now that is fully loaded if you want too. I’ve never owned a brand new car and I don’t plan to start now. I’m 32 years old and I don’t plan on ever buying another vehicle newer than about 2010ish year...

im looking for a factory knob for the s/rf swr cal switch for my uniden grant xl.

Even before the covid 19, the prices have gotten crazy, but yes this has probably probably made them go up a little more. I’ve been looking at base antennas since September.

Why have base antennas doubled and tripled in price over the last ten years. The Antron 99 I’m using now I purchased from cb city for about 65 dollars out the door back in 2011. Now most Antrons I can find are priced well over 100 dollars, with $150 being common. Edit: $125 shipped is common...

Can you do me one more favor and tell me where the blue and red wires, that are coming off the tone switch are going to? Edit: after looking at it further I think those red and blue wires are something a previous owner added and are not factory so I just clipped them off.
