I'm thinking about purchasing a new radio for my pickup. I was thinking about a new Magnum S9 or an Stryker 440HP along with using a Texas Star DX350 and a Wilson 5000 mag mount antenna. Which one is the better radio? Or maybe someone here could steer me in the direction of a good radio for this...
Sure sounds like you're being a Smarty Pants to me Mr. Savoir Faire! Like I said in my first post I don't know a lot about this amp, so I'll just keep it and save you the whining and the crying. Besides it sounds to me like you don't know what you're talking about anyway. According to...
I recently bought a Texas Star DX350 from a guy who I truck with occasionally, he said that he needed the money and he really didn't use it all that much. He said that he bought it about six months ago, tried it a time or two and never really got the hang of it so he sold to me for what I...
Where is the next best place to put a mobile antenna? I have a Wilson 5000 mag mount but there are way too many tree branches hanging down low, especially when it's raining, here where I live, not to mention the height requirement thingys that they have hanging around here for drive thru's...
Thanks Doc.....I think I've done a pretty good job myself!
Actually the only power ran will be the original power of the Magnum S9, what somewhere around 40 watts norm. and around 50 watts with the turbo boost. Everybody that I have talked to says it sounds really good.
OK, from a previous post here, http://www.worldwidedx.com/cb-antennas/45361-mobile-antenna-stinger.html, I asked the question, Does it matter which end of the of the stinger that you cut in order to get the best possible swr?
Mackmobile43 said that it doesn't really matter and that you can...
OK.....enough is enough! No more experimenting with mix and match antennas. I bought me an Wilson 5000 Mag Mount from Thomas Distributing. Shipping and all.....about $86. Anyway, I mounted it on top of my'03 Silverado ext. cab, ran the coax over to the driver's side back door, down under the...
Does it matter which end of the of the stinger that you cut in order to get the best possible swr? I have always seen people cut the bottom off a little at a time, but can you cut it off the top instead?
I didn't know. I kinda found a 1000 ft. roll of this weather-resistant 75 Ohm2200 Mhz RG-6 TV Coax at a fairly decent price with free shipping. A buddy of mine told me to go to the cable company and ask them for their used coax to be used for a cb mountain line. He said I should be able to get...
Anybody know if you could use this weather-resistant 75 Ohm2200 Mhz RG-6 TV Coax for like maybe a mountain line installation from the antenna to the base?
Let's say if I bought a Predator 10K and let's say that I mounted it on top of my tool box behind the cab, how far above the cab of my truck would the coil have be? How far away from the cab would it have to be also? Which one of the Predator 10K's would you recommend? Would I also have to run a...
Doc,
This is with the coax ran and ready to hook up to the radio. So I hooked up my MFJ-259B again and this is what I got.
On ch. 1 (26.965) the R=33 and the X=14 with a 1.6 swr.
On ch. 19 (27.185) the R=36 and the X=14 with a 1.5 swr.
On ch. 40 (27.405) the R=39 and the X=15 with a 1.5...
