Wow. I thought the Cobra 19 was stripped.

Radio on the right side of the console at an angle facing you, amp underneath the passenger seat?

Good point. I guess "gimmick" is a better word choice. All whip, no coil > a bunch of coil and fancy glass with a short stinger. A better choice would be an 8.5 ft piece of 1/2" copper pipe with a 3/8x24 stud at the bottom. I'll take however many kw you feel like throwing at it

Looks like a lot of snake oil.

It's rated for 90 mph, but I'm sure it exceeds that.

The Hornady TAP 75gr 223, or their even hotter 5.56 loads are supreme for home-defense. Due to explosive fragmentation, a massive temporary wound cavity is created, as well as a large permanent cavity. Here's an excellent picture of Sierra 77gr in action with hog hunting. It operates on the...

It's a good round, but the way I see it, is if they're over 200 yards out, I don't need to engage. I'm not the military. :D

Depends on the radio. Keeping your radio out on the dash may actually improve heat dissipation, over keeping it in a cramped hole in your dash, or glovebox, or center console or something...

RCI2950/2970 are both very stable, work great on SSB, and have a regular old VFO...no channel skip. :D

DK @ 1/4 of PEP level at 100% modulation. Make sure to keep within the limits of your final(s). Excessive drive may shorten transistor/tube life, and may cause problems with spectral purity. Clean signal into the amp, clean signal out. :D

In disaster preparedness, defensive firearms and long-range communications go hand in hand. AR15s rule, AKs drool.

OD Green kevlar wire dipole antenna then! :D

I use the Maco V58 tuned for 10m. You don't necessarily need a tuner, all you have to do is shorten the radiator a few inches. Do not get an IMAX or A99 unless you really enjoy TVI and hearing yourself through the toaster. They lack a sufficient ground plane, and don't functional well...

Omnis radiate and receive poorly in all directions. :laugh: Read some of W8JI's work with vertical antennas. You'll be quite enlightened.

Holy smokes. Literally. How many kw was he running? jeez.

I found some AM Mexican freebanders operating in the RTTY portion of 10m. I wonder what CQ CQ CQ sounds like on RTTY in the AM position? :D They quickly migrated elsewhere.

Guns are banned for the most part in Mexico. We see how well that works. Gun control only affect those who obey the law, which is the majority of the population. Criminals are already criminals, they disobey the law anyways. In a recent study, it was found that nigh 100% of criminals...

Meanwhile, in the other 49 states: FOPA (Hughes Amendment) may be repealed due to a failure in procedure. This act closed the registry for automatic weapons. Chicago got sued for denying the right to KEEP arms. Now they're being sued by the NRA for the right to BEAR arms. Mag capacity...
