Back in the day Bob an Lou Franklin were the guys in the news with speech compression, before the inner web. I think one of them sold the idea to Magnum and didn't Bob retire?

Don't get ahead of yourself and I say that without trying to be smart, just trying to save you a bunch of headaches. 1. Get a swr meter 2. Mount your antenna and radio and coax. 3. Check and set swr the proper way, there are lots of videos on the tube. Check it on channel 1, 20, and 40. Then...

W9 gets it. It's the buyer that just has to have it or has to outbid someone else. It happens all the time with cars, some guy who doesn't know which way to turn a screwdriver at the auto auction gets his macho on and buys the corvette, but then again it's his money to squander. They also do it...

Hey crossbow, there are other sources besides the bay. I found probes on amazon, you will want ones that matches the scope, if you have a 40 m scope get some 40 m probes. Get two, one with the pin tip for probing and one with the squeeze hook on the end to clamp to the components. If you...

If you ever need Cobra 29 or 25 parts, I got a lot donated from guys at work.

Thanks, your videos are great. Perhaps some day we will see one on making one of these.

Thank you, I remember seeing a tube video on building one, wish I had bought one before the stores closed, they had a stack of them, lesson learned. I have made a probe from a sharpie so I'm half way there. I do have a pair of old desktop computer speakers that plug in and have a volume switch...

Thanks, I just noticed that MFJ makes one, has anyone used one of these?

In my quest to learn radio repair and my frugal habits of refusing to pay a fortune for a signal tracer on the bay that may not work. I was looking thru the manual for my 2040 signal generator and noticed that you can inject a 455kHZ tone. Has anyone here used this method for trouble shooting...

and get on a quiet channel you'll be surprised. You can hear 2-3 times as you can transmit as a general rule. I drive a truck at night for a living and run in the same direction every night and with the few remaining professionals we use the elevation whenever possible.

Jamaica was skip coming in. As 222 said it's all about conditions. If you and your contact can get up on a hill

Good stuff, "bucktooth groundhog"

You mean it's not? Don't tell anyone.

You didn't mention if you were installing in a pickup, tractor, etc. You can have all the radios and amps in the world but if you don't have the antenna system right your not going to be happy and it won't perform right. There are thousands of post of guys who spent lots of money to try to get...

I'm not sure what your looking for, but I just have a bench radio off to the side. Whatever I am working on is picked up by it, just a radio,mic and power you don't even need an antenna to hear.

Now that's funny, It' nice that people can share from experience.

My point was to make sure you use a quality cable between the two. I was just looking for a photo or diagram to show how I can use the existing Pa jack to plug in the player and not have to drill and mount a separate jack. I was not looking to start a debate over the feedback/RFI. While I can...

thanks again for your help.
