I was looking at the spec sheet of the MRF455s and want to confirm. The output was 60W @12.5V. What I am curious about is the input. The Toshiba spec charts list a max output and a max input level on their transistors The manufacturer of the 455s don't. I am assuming that the 60W is the max...

Like I said, it is possible to get a match, but you would see a drop in performance. You could upgrade to a slightly longer antenna. There are several antennas out there of varying length. Determine what is the longest antenna you can run for your particular application. You can expect...

Many of the 4 pin mic connectors are wired the same, but not all. On a 4 pin you'll have a wire for RX, one for TX, one for audio, and a ground. The best thing to find your radio on cbtricks and see how it is wired and then do the same for one of your microphones and compare if they are...

No, you can't ship guns to personal residence. So I had to drive 80 miles (each way) to go pick it up in a truck that gets 12 MPG. Then had to drive back to pick up the new one when it was shipped to their store. That's 320 miles at 3.55/gal= $94.67 plus the 5.5 hours of driving time. That...

I don't know if it is the same woman, but I've heard a lady on the radio broadcasting what you described. I don't think she is off the air. I've heard her about 5 different days on air last month. She transmits about the truck wash every 10-15 minutes. Maybe its a different woman or maybe...

Yes he does. But that also gives the right for people to express their opinions as to whether he jumped the gun by attacking him. A vendor should, at the very least, be given the opportunity to make things right. I can't side with him or Dave because I can't see the extent of what is...

I really read your posts. I have some questions. Why would anyone need to inspect a brand new radio so closely for cosmetic flaws? It sounded as if you were purchasing a used radio not brand new. That sends up red flags. If you ARE that picky that a brand new item needs such a thorough...

undecidedcallsign: Two questions. Are you asking about using the whip alone, or using the whip AND the center loading coil and whip together on the Little Wil? If you are asking about both coil and whip, why do you intend on using a center loaded whip with this antenna? If you damaged your...

To keep things simple, asking for radio checks doesn't really force anyone to answer. Now that you have two radios and two magnet mount antennas, hook up a radio and antenna, temporarily, on your buddies vehicle and do a radio check with them. Knowing that they intend on answering, you'll know...

Wish I had the extra dough. With Christmas coming up and the fact that I just found my snow plow is not operational (again), I am strapped.

I can't believe it was bid up that high. You can buy it new for about $700-$750, and it will come with a degree of protection if it fails. $610 is quite a bit to pay from a seller who doesn't even have much feedback. I was watching it until it hit about $450.

I am not sure I understand what you are describing. When you say under a roof are you talking about the truck in in a garage or car port? What kind of cheap magnet mount antenna is it? Being a radio that is almost 40 years old, there could be some malfunctioning components. With out...

I have never seen the same specs on 8X. I have seen it rated at over 1KW on some sites. Most I've read are around 700W-800W. I checked it on Belden's web site, quite a while ago. They list theirs at about 1000W @ 10 MHz, and 370W @ 50 MHz. That figures to about 700W @ 30 MHz...

That is my point. LMR200 is RG58. It is just a high quality, low loss version with a fancy label. LMR is just a registered trademark of the Times Microwave Corp. Not all coax in the same class performs the same. So they put their own trademark so it stands out from their lesser counterparts.

There were no problems to remedy, it is a brand new install from scratch. The guy was inquiring if the Uniden 78 LTW was a decent radio to match with a Hustler 102" whip. Then out came the "you are going to need some LMR240 UF." I am all about upgrading to fit the needs of the system. That...

At that price, I better hurry before some one else buys it first.:laugh:

It is unreal the amount of bad advice there is coming from people. I read a thread on another forum where a senior member insists that the newbie uses LMR240UF for a standard FCC type Uniden PC78 LTW in a mobile. It was stated that RG58 wouldn't be a good idea to use. Ironically, I've seen...

Coax can be tricky to label which is better. Different manufacturers of the same class of cable can be quite different from each other. Just because it is smaller, doesn't necessarily mean it is inferior.

The ones I've heard don't sound like an HF rig. I've heard a few Uniden Madison radios and a few Cobra 2000 GTLs that sound similar to an HF rig when paired with a good quality mic. The 955s do sound good but I don't want to get carried away. I will say that I was more impressed with the...

I'd imagine that the squealing was due to a bad tune and not the radio itself. I've heard a few 955s on SSB and had to ask what they were running for a radio. I was amazed when they told me it was a Stryker 955. I was so impressed that it the solid and clean audio was coming an export, I...
