Dude, don't sell your radio. The Galaxy 95t/95t2 is probably the best radio that Galaxy has made. They don't make them anymore, and they are getting hard to come by. That is a nice radio. I will probably be buried with mine. Undo the mod that disabled the 2290s and have your low power...

The guy that owns that shop may have a family to feed and it is sad to see that his business will be hurt or even fail. If people can't get what they want from him, they will most likely take their money elsewhere. He is just a small business owner who sells CB amps. It isn't like he is a...

It seems like everyone is gleefully cheering, but I am sure that none of you have any equipment that is in violation of FCC regs, right? None of you have HAM rigs modified for use on 11M and QSO on 38LSB? None of you have CBs that are modified? I am sorry but I doubt that.

You don't have to detune it or run a big amp like the 1200. First, sell the 667. You can buy a Texas Star DX500, send your radio to DTB and tell him to set the radio up for that amp. With your variable power on low you'll be dead keying about 1.5W. When you turn off the amp and turn your...

The Sirio is pretty awesome from what I've heard. I don't think that I have had one person (who has used both) tell me of a Wilson beating a sirio 5ooo in performance on TX or RX. But it is getting pretty close to a full quarter wave. At some point you may as well just toss on a 102"

Wilson 1000 or 5000 is always a good choice.

There is no need for crapping on the guy for asking. That 667 Amp uses 1 2290 to drive 4 2879s, has stated in a previous post. The Galaxy 95t2 as an internal amplifier section using 2 2290s. You don't want to load the driving 2290 of the amp with 2 2290s of the radio. And I know the amp...

Two things. I don't want to insult your so forgive me if you already know this, but first make sure you don't have too much gain, especially on SSB. It will cause you to sound horrible. Even with a non amplified mic, I back off the mic gain to 1/4 and no more than 1/2 while on SSB. Even if...

I am guessing that he has an antenna switch. When he takes his power readings, he is probably transmitting into a dummy load. This guy is good. I had him repair/look over my Uniden Madison a few months back. I finally got it hooked up by sticking a K30 out the window on the metal roof. I...

I had a 510XL which is a 520XL minus the RF gain. I thought it was a pretty solid little radio for the price. I got it for $20 a few years ago on ebay, used. I got it for the wife to put in her car. I found a new in box Midland 1001z for $20 and thought it was a steal. I took the 510XL out...

That is doubtful. Aside from the fact that this dude smoked or sniffed something before coming up with his price, it is still a solid performing radio. I dare say that the SSB stability, and powerful audio on SSB and even AM surpasses most of the export radios. An honest price for this radio...

The "patina" from the humidity adds character, and character adds value.

I understand it is people's right to list things for whatever they want, but it creates such problems with pricing. I don't know where these people that started it got their pricing. The problems it creates is that other people who have similar items for sale believe that is what their product...

Mountain View Electronics in Knoxville, TN is also a good repair facility.

My stepfather's K40 seems to work just fine. I wouldn't say it is better than my Wilson 1000 but I don't know if it is any worse either. I'd think that being only a few inches (5") in height difference they would be pretty darn close in performance on the local. I think that DX would be where...

I said "what the heck" and bought 35' of LMR200 to give a try. My only concern is that the solid center conductor may not be flexible enough for a mobile install. But it is a pretty light cable so it may do just fine.

I just was reading attenuation charts and noticed low loss RG58 from Times Microwave (LMR-200.) It has the attenuation of standard grade RG8X (about 1.7db/100ft @27MHz) but way higher power handling (1.08KW/100ft.) I am considering using it for a mobile install and Times Microwave's site...

I mean, don't get me wrong, we all have equal rights to the CB band. It is just kind of sad that some people have a sole purpose of spending money to purposely be annoying. It would be less classless to just play the thing once or twice, have a laugh, and get on with it. Yeah, I do flip...

Yup, a whole bunch of awesome :thumbup:

They are rated for 1000W each. That K30 is just a temp. It will go back into the cellar ASAP. Its my floater.
