Thank you all I MUST USE CAPS THANKS YOU ALLL!!!!!! Sorry I didnt reply sooner, I been on channel 19 making friends with the cobra 142.. I met a guy talking on my 510 uniden and he said yea I've got a 5 pin connector..2.15 and its urs.. So I got it and attached it to an old midland I had...

Great question.. Mine is around the same.. Someone with the same antenna as me. Mine was higher but I found that putting the ring 6 1/4 like the manual says as a starting point works well. It also tightned fully can slide off and be throwing your swr off.. Mine jumped to 3, and I found that the...

LOL.. I got that same meter, and thats how I mod by whistling into the mic, but I am new to this hobbie so thats my excuse... Whats his? LOL

Really? I didnt know they existed. I went old school with a 142gtl, but why would you not tell anyone? are they illegal? I know linears are too but we all use them... But maybe you say that because their valuable and someone will try and take it. At any rate i'll be doing some research as I was...

LOL... Yea because I was told it has hidden channels (which the switches he had off the side were broke so yet another repair I had to do) but yes I do have years of electrical experience as that's all I knew before the end of my career started at age 21. I sense then have fun modding game...

Puck mount.. Is that a special mount, or is that what its call when you run the connector from the bracket i've pictured above through the roof. Yea its not removing the headliner thats the problem, is the length of the antenna clearing my garage door.. Just going to get a quick disconnect, or...

Just figured I would share.. I had another 510Xl pro.. Broken volume knob. Was going to toss it. with a little patience and parts from an old 23 channel linear jet radio.. She is running loud at proud at about 12W. Just proves keeping old junk does sometimes pay off... Its actually getting...

Hey, Well as promised here is a status update... I found out that the meters didnt work, all lights were out, and the tx rx lights didnt work.. The tx and tx light was fixed with a little kinar wire fixing the broken trace on the board.. I was wondering why there was dent in rear corner now i...

Cool, Thanks at the moment I am at my max budget with this hobbie, and i've not only had the wilsons get taken as I mention above, but fly off and thats the last thing I want.. I want a nice sterdy permanent. I always wondered why my uncle would make a hole in the top of his truck *(R.I.P) but...

WOW! I tried this and the radio does receive. Notice the meter lights are indeed out, and the volume is kinda scratchy when you turn the volume, but for its age they should sell some contact cleaner or something to clean that up.. Now I have to learn the upper and lower side band as I've never...

Thanks for the info.. I will definatly try that out.. Just been working with some people in the antenna section to lower the swr on my Maco V5/8 so I dont mess that radio up :) I have mic's all the standard from mobile uniden and some realistic ect ect.. So if I can find the wiring for these...

SWR is lower, but not perfect Well I got the swr as follows Channel 40 = Its perfect.. Possibly 1:1 Channel 19 = Its a little bit above 1.5 Channel 1 = Highest slightly before 2 Appearently he used a second metal hose clamp and soon as I got it up, the pole slid back down. (Musta lost...

Thanks for that reply.. So if I were to use that fireStick, It would need to be mounted in the center to get any kinda results?

I am new and cant completly answer your question, But I just got the same unit, and the guy who sold it to me connected it to his base galaxy and on amp it was doing upwards to 300w I am guessing it depends on the voltage and what your throwing into it.. HDV is high drive which makes these...

Whats this? Excuse my dumbness, but whats all this mean? I am new and learning had to ask. Whats LSB? My new cobra 142 has that and USB and I have no idea what thats about.. I am pc man, and I dont see a usb port anywhere on this radio..Also has the hidden channels ect... But I had to...

I dont have a mic for my new rig.. I had started posting about this in antenna section, but I asked mod to close that thread because this is where this belongs.. What would be a good mic if I was in the market to purchase one? second what are the pinouts? and lastly could I buy an adapter to use...

Read all the post in this top... Great example (The corrected stuff) I will be raising mine like this with Guy Wire soon enough now that I know plains wont hit it LOL... Cool stuff.. These antennas are a Bth to get up arent they LOL

Yes 26 is 248" and 27 is 240" I dont know how tall mine is. Was going to mount it on top of my flag pole, but seems impossible and there IS power lines near.. Only power lines near are way in the back of my house of the opposing side.. Could I use fence poles to raise it? I used to work...
