    Palomar Elite 250HD input tuning

    I have the amp listed in the subject. I noticed today, that the input tune was high, this is a new to me amp. I know the coax is fine and antenna, I've been thru that. This amp has two pills, not FETs inside, I noticed on top of the transformer the silver mica cap was burnt and it measured about...

    How many truckers are running VHF ? Is CB dying ?

    In Maine the timber companies use it on,the woods roads. I have no idea who's using what. But in a recieve only fashion I can monitor it when using the woods roads. Not to mention if I needed assistance CB and MURS is heavily monitored and I'm more likely to find someone there than ham or GMRS...

    How many truckers are running VHF ? Is CB dying ?

    Wow this hits the nail on the head for me. with regards to VHF/UHF there is a real lack of local life on the ham bands and the guys you do find, run out of things to say or cant carry a conversation beyond the weather, their rig and that's it. My camp is in Northern Maine and I have a lot of...

    Ranger USA vendors

    I ended up getting a 2995 DXCF from Clays CB shop. I only had them tune for the radio to meet specs. I also got a Road king RK56 noise cancelling mic. No complaints happy with the purchase and customer service. I had Shure 550L new in the box that I had for years that I paired up to it and its...

    Ranger 2995 DXCF

    I have a ranger 2995 DXCF that I believe is 100hz high in frequency. AM seems fine, but I noticed on LSB when I turned my radio to channel 37 (27.3750) that actually using the VFO and tuning to 27.3749 puts me right on channel 37. I found the 2995 DX manual online detailing the alignment points...

    Ranger 2995 DX CF service manual

    I'd like to obtain a service manual for my radio to keep on hand. I found a 2995 DX manual online. Does anyone know if that is the right manual? I bought this radio new less than a few months ago.

    Beam suggestions

    I was looking at the Maco shooting star, but I wanted to see what other people had to say. I may have to abandon the 6m beam, I have a second tower I could put up. Thanks for the suggestions.

    GI JOES Electronics

    I've bought from Clays. Honest and reliable, I plan to order something from him again his prices are reasonable. It was my first purchase of a new radio and I wanted to was the radio to meet spec with 100% modulation. I have to wonder everyone popping finals has more to do with the fact of the...

    I assume you mean this for the 2995 as well? Its too bad I really like those radios. I wouldn't plan on running full tilt boogie on the pin if that makes any difference.

    Ranger USA vendors

    Well I asked about the 2995 and he doesn't stock them. The N4 he doesn't have and would have to call. Nice enough guy on the phone, although he sorta implied he's more of a warranty repair center. I asked about getting them and he didn't shoot me down but seemed slightly uninterested and offered...

    Ranger USA vendors

    I've decided I want a 2970n4 and a 2995dxcf. Can anyone recommend a reputable vendor? Also is "tune and alignment" nessecary? I'm fine doing an 11m conversion myself, but I just want a clean radio that jas 100% modulation and meets spec.
