I think your right. Companies and techs across the country designed them specifically not work That doesn't mean a thing. I lived in a place for a year where there was nobody on the air. I thought it was my station. No, I went back to my home town and talked to everyone with ease..

Yes. Unless it has been hacked up inside.

Yeah most stock MICs are crap. I think you'll have great results with that MIC. I really like my new 636.

ND88 did you say you ordered a new MIC? I can't remember if you said that somewhere along the line. If so what did you order?

I can do 30+ miles with my barefoot Uniden 78 and a Predator 10-K. And that's with the sinful magnet mount.

Most amps have pre amps. These will help recive greatly. He has a good antenna setup. Stop saying he has a poor antenna setup.

Just yesterday I made over 2000 mile contact to Jacksonville, Florida from Phoenix, Az. This was using a barefoot Uniden pc78ltw and a Predator 10-K on a mag. It has a lot to do with conditions. My signal was smaller and the contact didn't last long, but I did make the contact. If you don't...

Thanks for you input guys.

This isn't about that. Us 40 channel am cbers have a whole different area to compete in. I don't have anything against ham or ssb. Just don't preach to us about making half watt contacts all over the world.

This is a higher power MOSFET. I think a cobra 29 with a tune will do around 20-25 watts. This MOSFET upgrade is said to do 35-40+. Does that sound right? I'm just going by what they say...

Good post mustang. I only run am. You said what all these ssb and ham people don't understand.

I was in the process of ordering a radio from bells CB in Florida. I have to go down to Florida to see family now, so I haven't orderd my radio yet. Before I give him the go ahead on this radio tell me if I am getting the proper mods done to it. I want a Cobra 29 lx with a MOSFET final and a...

Where is the best place to park your mobile for dx?

1.4 is okay. Most amps setups are the same in the 200-1000 watt range. With any amp you have to ground it to the body. Like under the carpet by the seat bolt. If money is tight your smaller amps listed are fine. Otherwise, you might regret not going a little bigger. What do you plan on using am...

I shoot skip on 28 mostly. Conditions change day to day even hour to hour. I think I'm telling you this and myself. Last week or two I have not made one contact. Kinda burned out... Haha :)

I have a Predator 10-k on a mag and a uniden 78 tuned by my self. I talked to tenn. the other day really well. Also made a contact to Florida. Mobile to base I can talk 20-30 miles local. When I was down in AZ I talked to tenn as well. Its really the conditions... An amp will help when you...

Oh and the Predator is cheaper than the Sirio or Wilson. The 102 is the cheapest of all though.

The Sirio definitely beats the Wilson. The Predator 10-K vs Sirio, no comparison. The two best antennas on the market today are 102 whip and the 10-k. The performance with these two is very close, some even claim the 10-k offers better receive. That's just what I've heard, don't get on me if its...

A predator is the better antenna. The coil is bigger, more surface area to travel on. The coil is mid loaded, always better than base loaded. If you are running power the coil design is better for heat dissipation. Also, I believe the whip is stronger and you can hit stuff without wrecking the...
