Did you know that behind that mirrior backet that is mounted to the door has a plastic gasket inbetween the mirrior and the door, at least that is how it is on 379 Pete's and W-900's So what i have done way back in the past was to take the mirrior off and remove the plastic gasket and wahla you...
I am just courious how much splatter will you get modulating on SSB with a so called Biased Class C amp ??? I run a Texas star 667v, And i get good reports. Class A/B amps are great for SSB. JMO.
Hey SmackDown, I run just 3 States now, Due top my Wife's Health. I am based out of Springfield Mo. and I run down to Tulsa, Over to Ft.Smith Ar. and up to Springdale Ar. and back home. Home every day Thank God. I dx as Triple 5 in the mobile. I got lucky last July and traded in my 18-Wheels for...
I'm a Truck Driver, I DX, n Piss a lot of drivers off on Ch.19 when I am downstairs talking local. And I give them Tulsa Boys a lot of CRAP on 27.185. Enough Said !!!
My self personally, I don't mind the BEEP, But now correct me if I am wrong, I do believe the Ham Operators used a Roger Beep at the end of a transmission back in the '60's ?? But then again everything was much different and better back then when it comes to the Society we live in Today. JMO.
Booty, I was more concerned about the 1 watt swinging close to 80 watts pep into the 500v. I do not want to burn up a good amp. thanks for everyone's replies on this. i have a chance to trade my 667v for a 500v.
Can I take the S45hp and run a Tx.Star 500v behind this radio ?? I know it can swing up to 80 watts. I do have a Tx.Star 667v and I don't think i could use that amp with the S45hp radio. Any comments would be helpful. Thank you.
Has anyone ever tried the Nighthawk mobile antenna from H&Y Electronics ?? The Item number ( I believe ) is B-10000 on their site. Well I bought one and so far not too bad. The receive is great. Better than my Round Coil ( Manufacture Unknown ). The Bandwidth is not as good as my round coil, But...
Back when Clear Channel Corp. was in business, I bought a AR-3500-100wt model with a Speech Processor ( knob pulled out ) That Speech Processor made a lot of difference in my modulation. That was One Radio, I still kick my self in the butt for getting rid of.
Find a CB Shop with the KNOW-HOW. Ask around about the CB Shop before you do any business. Anyone can turn a screwdriver and Hack-Up a Good Radio. And Remember CB Shops are a dime a dozen. A good one is getting hard to find.
What about Bob's CB Shop off of I-80 in Penn. He has a web-site, And he works on Galaxy's with Mod Kits. I have never used him yet. When my Tech retires, Then I will be in trouble.
Not to start a war on Radios, But the Cobra 29 has one final, The General Lee has 2 finals. There would be no way that the Cobra 29 could do the same as the G.L. I have had several G.L.'s JMO. The only way the Cobra could be as loud as the G.L. is with an RFX 75 installed in the back of the...
