i have an old radio shack meter thats been reworked and calibrated its small for a mobile is why i like it, but if i remember it took another small attachment to read ssb power? what was it and where to find?
i got the 667 because its a single final radio and the 667 has that driver i did get the variable im getting one new in the box on a deal i never meant to have one i have a 2 2879 toshiba pill texas star black widow that works just fine plus the reciever amp is filtered and other little extras...
i use a 2 2879 pill amp all over too my radio has such good audio alot of power really isnt necessary. I have a new in the box ts 667v coming in about a week from another deal i may just sell it, my 2 pill will peak 400 cranked up but thats more than a guy really needs so i agree with ya 100%
put it on the mirror and run a ground semi trucks have too much fiberglass then make sure your radio is also chassis grounded dot use your ground wire of course it has to go to the battery, ground the chasis of the radio and run a good ground to the antenna. I dont know what ant your using but...
oh i know ive had many amps, back in the 90s i killed a 1992 dodge dynasty with a big texas star, it would kick the windshield wipers on while you were talking and the car would start pumping white smoke really bad if you were really telling a story the smoke would get so bad you couldnt see the...
im going to make a new cover right off the bat out of aluminum with fan holes, wire upgrade and wont run it wide open, this radio works so well you can talk all over with just the radio, dont know what ill do may keep my old 2 pill and sell the new one
to be honest the 2 2879 pill amp i have is plenty, i get a new 667v in the box and some other stuff, could just sell a new in box dx 667v get some of my money back
yes im ocd about the cooling i planed that from the go i already got the 667 coming, my 148f deads keys around 2 1/2 to 3 watts swing like 15 its a 15 watt radio on ssb im not sure
from what i understand they have a rougher model only from yeticom survival systems just for expedition rigs. wonder if you can run a 667 with it turned down?
The wilson 1000 mag mount antenna is one awesome antenna, tunes flat stays tuned wide enough for english, been running a Philippines cobra 148f gtl (highly modded) and a 2 2879 pill amp , drove a total of 800 miles on ssb talking all over the world. Ant is up high im the middle of the truck...
thats why i want an mk3 im sick of the hacked 007 radios, i tested that lescomm dx 959 custom 5304 board and sx 350 power cabinet vs my ultra hacked by a master cobra 148f gtl and a 2 pill 2879 black widow hacked and made in 1993 just give that lescomm a good old fashion whooping so convincingly...
ive learned my lesson buying radios online, and if i did it would have to be from the factory with a warranty, no more super hacker radios from spock or bones lol
ill be putting a dx 667v in my truck, what ga. of wire should i run from the battery to the cab its a 4x4 toyota not a semi? second should i use a capacitor at the battery like the bumping stereo kids do?
i bought a lescomm with a magnum sx 350 cabinet (garbage got rid of it) of any of the new radios i like the optima mk3, but for that type radio id get a galaxy 99v2 and a texas star, to me none of the magnum or stryker is even worth taking home
