How do I get in touch with DTB or Sparky?

I live in Martin County, KY. I have a Magnum S9 that needs some repair. There is no local CB Repair shops near by. Is there anyone out there knows where I can go to or either send my radio to, to have it checked and repaired? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. You can contact me...

I'm gonna give you the same info SK gave me and it helped me out quite a bit. http://signalengineering.com/ultimate/ http://www.firestik.com/Meas-SWR.htm I'm using two Brownings BR-28 High Gain Broadband antenna that I picked up for 25 or 30 bucks for both. They're co-phase on a 2000 Pete...

I too am trying learn a thing or two! A buddy of mine sold me his used MFJ and bought a new one for himself, I got it at pretty good deal you could say. He said was easy to use but I still ain't figured it out yet!? I bought a set of Browning BR-28 High Gain Broadband 63" antenna's the other...

How or what is the best way to set and or get the lowest swr possible?

I'm using a Magnum S9.

Has anyone heard of or used a Browning Br-28 High-Performance Broad Band 63" Cb Antenna?

What are the best mobile antenna's out there to be used on big rig, 2002 Peterbilt - co-phased?

Thanks Chainsawgang, And the same right back atcha! I'd like to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! You know, with that much time off, I'll probably be hanging out right around here.....looking and listening. Maybe we'll bump into one another some time?

I'm going to have to put the noise problem on the back burner Chainsawgang, but thanks for asking. The doctor said I have severe carpal tunnel in my left hand and it needs to be operated on before it gets worse, So this Wed. Dec. 12th, my left hand is going under the knife and I'll be off work...

Nope! But I do have a Sirius sat radio and it tears my radio up big time when it's turn on. The bkgrd noise really gets bad then. They make a direct cable for Sirius that I'm gonna try next.

CAT 550! Rollin', Stopped, Runnin, it doesn't really matter! About the only time that I don't have any background noise is when it's a raining. Other than that it's wall to wall and tree top tall....I just can't hear like I want to.

Thanks Doc! I was kinda joking around about the chain and wheel bearing things. You'll hear all kinds of bull like those if you listen long and hard enough. So far my best antennas have to be the Wilson Trucker 5000's. Yeah I've tried most of them, but I keep coming back to the 5000's. The...

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll have to keep trying different things. Someone told me to tie a small chain around one of the axles, just long enough to bump the ground every now and then. They said that the radial tires where building up a static electrical charge and the chain bumping the...

I bought two of these Z-180's through H&Y a while back. I've never gotten around to installing them yet. Mine came with roof mounts and I think they've got up to 14 feet of coax attached to the mounts. I don't want to use the roof mounts, I'd like to mount one to my back bumper but I need to...

I drive a 2000 model Peterbilt 379 with a Uni-bilt sleeper truck. I'm using a Magnum S9 and two Wilson Trucker 5000 antennas. I have a high background or static noise in my radio, but when I go through rain the noise disappears. When I first installed these antennas I had like a 1.2 to a 1.3 on...

Well, when I first installed these antennas I had like a 1.2 to a 1.3 on both of them. I can hear a pretty good piece, like 2 to 3 miles maybe even more sometimes when the noise ain't too bad. I've been told that it gets out even farther. They say I've been heard up to 15 to miles 20 miles down...

I drive a 2000 model Peterbilt 379 with a Uni-bilt sleeper truck. I'm using a Magnum S9 and two Wilson Trucker 5000 antennas. I have a high background or static noise in my radio, but when I go through rain the noise disappears. It also picks up electrical interference sometimes when I'm close...

Hi! I'm New Here! I have a Magnum S9 mounted in a 2000 379 Peterbilt. The Wilson 5000 antennas are co-phased with 95% shielded 9 foot coax. With the truck turned off I have little or no background noise. When I start the truck up there is some noise but not enough to hurt anything. After I...
