    Which galaxy ?? What y'all think??

    First of all, Do not get a Galaxy 959, And if ya get the 98vhp do not run a small amp with that. That radio is capable of doing 300 wts. And Radio Active is a hack shop. Do not go to them. You mention Coal so i figured State of Ky. or close, You have GI Joe Radios, Sparky's CB Shack, Bob's CB...

    Sirio P 5000 Mobile

    I just recently added a Quad Magnet mount on top of my Dodge Caravan with a Monkey Made Round Coil 12" shaft, And i added a right angle stud and run 18' coax. Swr's are great. And i can go below Channel 1 and do some serious Dx'ing. Next week I am going to try a different Antenna from H&Y. I...

    Connex 3400 HP problems

    Not to sour the grapes, But all new radios have Mosfet Finals, And they are cheaply made. And high Swr's will blow the Finals. If you ever decide to get a good radio, Look for an early Connex 3300hp or an early General Lee that have the older non-Mosfit Finals. JMO. They are built better.

    Advice on a setup

    I never thought a Cobra was a cheap radio.The older 148gtl's were a darn good SSB radio, And the older ones are still in use today. And putting a Beam Antenna on a Jeep Cherokee ?? Well, I would like to see this. You are right as far as getting a Tech License, But, There are still some of us...

    2510 am question

    As stated, You are driving too much watts into that amp. I have the Palomar Magnum Amp and I drive a 1-2 watt dead key into this amp, And i get plenty of Forward Modulation.

    Connex 4400 turbo vs General Lee

    You will be happy with the G.L. but as they stated No Comparison. But you can buy a nice little Texas Star or Palomar, Fat Boy, And the list goes on n on. What i am getting at is a 250 watt amp would do nice behind that General Lee. Better than the Connex 4400 Turbo. And BTW The Connex 4600...

    Advice on a setup

    The older 148's and Grants would be a good choice. Also you can pick up a 250 watt Linear cheap and i guess i would go with a 102" whip. At least the whip is flexible. A good radio would be the Magnum OmegaForce S-45hp. That does around 85 watts and i do believe that goes around 270.00 give or...

    ABC123 what radio is better?

    Here is my 2-cents. I never tried the 2 radios that you are mentioning in your post, But i did see some reviews on the SS-158dx. The SSB on that model does drift. The Magnum OmegaForce S-45hp is a good radio from what i have seen on the reviews. Best SSB radio i ever had was the AR-3500 100wt...
