Ask them about their Monkey Made Round Coil Antenna. Some of us Freight Haulers called them Big John Antenna or Bronco Buster Antenna. i have been using this Round coil Antenna for over 7 yrs. The CB Shop calls it a...
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...
There is also J/4 CB Shop in Bois D'Arc/Halltown Mo. I-44 @ 61 M.M. Hood's Truck Stop. Jim used to be up in Bolivar Mo. on Hwy. 13 many years ago. I have been going to him for over 19 yrs. He is open Wed.-Sat. 1:00pm to 7:00pm well worth the drive. 417-732-7070

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...
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.
Trying to read all of this, Reminds me of that Ol' Country Redneck song ( That I Like So Well ) Throw Another Log On The Fire, Cook Me Up Some Bacon n Some Beans.
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...
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.
I just purchased a Quad Mag Mount (4-5" magnets ) on a H-Bar pattern from Tower Electronics. This company is good on their prices. Here is their info.

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...
I need you to save one for me, I should have all the funds in 2 weeks. AND THIS TIME I WILL NOT GET RID OF IT FOR NOTHING. Best Darn Radio i had in a long time. Yea i kick my self in the butt on a daily basis, Just like i did when i traded off my Ar-3500 back in '91.
73's to ya Dr.Dave
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...
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...
