That is just a stud mount @ 90 Degree.. That was my main Question asked better.. The roof is not completly flat.. So I wanted to add the bolts to make sure the saw blade gets a good ground to the roof.. I was going to buy a 102 can u legally drive with that?

Yea, Got another quick disconnect.. Gotta be more careful this time. With all that there still is a small flex.. Is this normal? I was thinking about running a bolt and nut on each side of the saw blade to the top, but how do you prevent it from leaking? I dont want the roof to flex at all! Them...

SNAP goes the antenna in the garage door! Well I got her going today.. the FireStik won in a test from meijers to base, as well as to the people on channel 19 that were at different locations.. The FireStick II Also had better receive.. The pretty little (15.00) Quick disconnnect Destroyed in...

SWR SWR is at 3 but thats in a garage with it touching a metal rafter support bar. I will be taking it out later and will test in clear spot. I thought ahead and got my dosy connected where the linear will go :).... Ran the thicker belden from antenna to where the amp will go and the regular...

Well I almost got it done.. Someone said use a saw blade to support it.. Now I see why.. Here are pics of the install.. hope it doesnt leak.. Will post swr and results when its all done.. comments?

Hey, I have a laptop in my car with a gps mag mount sensor on the roof.. Mine acts up sometimes even with a barefoot radio. I notice the problem went away when I upgraded my coax.. Think they both utilize the vehile ground plane. Thats gotta be the charger.. try putting an extension on it and...

Ok cool.. Yea I am currently running a 2 pill (Texas Star 250 HDV) So its a high drive,, Thats why I asked because I was told regular linears are supposed to have 2W dead key.. Wasnt sure about high drive... And also wasnt sure if turning up the deadkey would make it better. I will check that...

I got a Royce 1-680 (40 channel) mobile radio today from an uncle. Can they be modded? anyone have any insite? are they better then the newer ones (like the uniden 510XL) any info on this would be great

You know I didnt take that into consideration (Power) Right now the 510 Uniden is barefoot with about 12 watt swing, but I didnt think to ask how much that Francis will take.. I got it free from an older fella (1Way) on channel 19, And I told him I had that firestik.. So I dunno. I am going to...

There isnt one.. Just sats Francis made in usa 8j pat no 3.596.273.. No coils on it

Ok here in michigan I was chatting with some people and this cd was showing the difference between her K40 and a regular stainless steel whip.. The whip was bad ass.. I got a firestik 2 and and old francis and wanna know what is better till I get a stainless steel? I have the pictured mount and...

PixOfMyRig Here, Not sure they are helpful. Full scaled (Not Resized) Of the Radio Inside :)

Cool, I will definatly check this out. Yea I'd like to get the most of out the radio without overdriving it. So far (with dyna turned down w/ d104 mic) it sounds good and its reaching out really far, With a 2w deadkey its amazing. But I will check those that are posted above and post results.. I...

Finally got around to opening it up.. TR32 is intact.. cant find R104, And the chip your referring to is indeed a 1419.. So would I be ale to take that one you are referring to out of another electronic device, or should I go new? If they didnt clip how is this doing 2dead-12 swing? Going to...

Hey, Cool Will be getting a measuring tape and trying that soon. Will post results. I have nothing but clear sky near mine.. I havent done any DX yet, Not quite sure how that works.. I am running 11 Meters.. Just getting back into it.. Dont think I could afford a ham rig.. Just sold that 2M...

Is that variable pot on the power supply board for the power out? Good info. I havent messed with any of them.. Its around 2w deadkey and swings nicely to around 12. If thats normal for this radio then I guess its ok. I may look into upgrading the final as you mention. Did that once on a newer...

Thanks for the info. So your saying to move to top pole of the anntenna up 2"? or just move it up in tiny increments to see if there is a change. Your probably right because its only up there with a mast from a 2 meter ringo, so its probably not tall enought. But being on the roof I'd think its...

Hey Whats a contest? Thought that was only a ham thing. I'd be interested in finding out if you must have big amps to do this, or would a few 100w be ok. I had at cb back when, but never really got to learn it before my sweet 16 was taken and I lost interest, nbut I was also young and immature...

Thanks.. I wasnt subscribed to this thread and just saw you replied.. I Finally got my 142 Gtl going..And experimented with both upper and lower and using the tune you can "tune in" and hear, Someone told me there is less bleedover if these are used as well

Hey its almost 5am and I was going to open her up to check the above, but before I do just out of curiousity what should the voltage from the power supply be at? I just ask because I think they might have upped the rail voltage to get more power out of it and thats possibly what killed all the...
