Anyone know where I can purchase a replacement whip for my Sirio performer 5000(trucker) or a suitable replacement. 71" long.

Yes, there is no problem. I just want to try a dynamic type microphone

Thanks for the reply. Scotts radio also confirmed this.

I will check again. The stock mic that comes with the radio is an electret type microphone(voltage is present on the audio pin). So if you use a non-electret type or a power microphone you need to turn off this voltage. if not; you could damage the mic and or radio.

I'm not sure the Mckinley has a menu? or is it hidden?

Is there a way to change the microphone type on the Mckinley radio from electret to dynamic?

Thanks Eddy, I will keep you updated. Hpefully I can get this antenna in the air before the snow arrives. Thanks again my friend. 73's

No you never did . Not too bad lower 50's

Thanks Eddie, this gives me a real good starting point. This antenna is not too complex so I won't try to brain storm this project. I owe you cold beer or maybe a nice cranberry juice...lol. Thanks again my friend

Sure does..thanks a bunch. Take your time...no hurry. Good hearing from you.

I will use this on 11 meters (27.205) but I will try to scale the 15 meter model down to 11 meters rather than using the calculator. I will...

The only thing I can guarantee is that these are authentic Toshiba 2sc2879's made in Japan and that...

My station was setting off all the alarms at a local car dealership. Well the local police came to investigate this every Sunday morning or when ever I "pumped up" for DX talking. The Fcc considered this hindering emergency service because the police were chasing phantom alarms at the...

Again thanks gentlemen. I really appriciate all of the input. The President Mckinley seems right up my alley. Again this is just to get my feet wet. And I do not want to piss off my neightbors. I just want a good sounding radio that does not drift and needs no modifications to use on 11m and is...

Thanks for all the replies. I do not have my ticket(As of yet). So a ham rig is out of the question(I do not want to deal a modified radio). I want to buy new. $300 is my limit. The President is right up my alley. I'm in the process of constructing my first slope dipole. So this is just get my...

I'm in the market for a good SSB radio(mobile) that can work 11m. Looking for suggestions. I've been away from the band for a bit. Thanks

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I need to figure what mic I'm going use. Maybe a road king 56. Any suggestions?

Thanks
