You are wrong. You judge people when you should not. I AM A TRUCKER FOR 35 YRS. At least I have the knowledge not to run a crappy Class C Amp. And for your information, My RCI-2950dx the limiter is not cut. And yes i use a open coil Antenna for bandwidth. Now if this makes you mad because i run...

I am sorry, I am not Military. 5 of my Uncles served in W.W.2, Two of them went on to serve in Korea, And My older Brother did 2 tours in Vietnam Crew Chief Gunner 174thAHC on a B-Model Huey. I use Q-codes when i am on SSB. And yes i am still learning and i always will. Sorry for my mistake on...

I started running Freeband back in '90 along with over a few thousand freight haulers as such as Consolidated Freight, Roadway, Yellow Freight, Overnite, UPS, Arkansas Freight, This was on frequency 26.865. Now Fed-ex runs down around 26.115. I don't see where these frequency's would bother the...

The " Q-Codes " were initially a standard collection of three letters all starting with Q used for commercial radio telegraph services. Like any other code, they were soon adapted by other services. The codes in the range QAA-QNZ are reserved for aeronautical use; QOA-QOZ for maritime use, and...

I would not think you would even hear your voice. The Cobra 29 does not have a PA mode. It does have a PA speaker jack for monitoring 11 meter frequency's. With a speaker mounted outside the vehicle. I would like to know the outcome for my own thoughts.

Bobby try Sparky's cb shack. I do believe they go for 69.99 or less.

My mistake, I am sorry. My mind does wonder at times. But i always thought QRU meant = Listening for calls. At least that is how it is written on the Q-codes for SSB operation.

The only time we ran Ch.15 was out in a small part of Hwy 99 in Bakersfield Ca. You come off of Techaippi Mtn. on 27.185 and then you head north on Hwy 99 and you tune into Ch. 15 for oh maybe 20 mls. And then you go to Ch. 17 when you start to head west on Hwy 46. Any Old time Trucker would...

That is a good question. Would the Compressor work on the 2950's and on the 2950dx ?? As to the same reference on the Compressor that was installed on the AR-3500's ?? Way back when ?? I had one on my AR-3500 100wt. model.

Are ya staying a float from all the rain ?? I live over in Christian County.

I do some QSL above 27.405 and i DX on 26.905 as afr as getting in the way of Ham operators ??? I DON'T THINK SO. Try driving through Tulsa Okla. at night ( I deliver there 5 nights a week ) And all you here are these base stations kicking out 1000 wts bad mouthing Truckers. Now i will admit as...

I tried SSB for the first time this morning 0700hrs. from my driveway in Southwest Missouri and Qsl with unit 25 up in Chesapeake Bay. And 511 in Virginia. this was on 27.375 lsb. The SSB works great. The IF Filter does take out a lot of excess noise, maybe too much. As stated this unit goes to...

ATTENTION K-MART SHOPPERS. We now have a Blue light sale going on in the EBAY Department. LOL

The reason we do this, Is to keep Ch. 19-27.185 open for Road reports,Bear reports ( Police ) and accidents. That is wht some of us OLD SCHOOL TRUCKERS where extremely happy when Galaxy came out with the 73v. You can monitor 27.185 and talk on freight hauler's channel 26.865 It has now changed...

Another test done last night. This is on AM only. Later tonight, I will do some testing on SSB. As noted, I do NOT have a power meter to measure DK Wts. or PEP. OK Dave mention at the highest peak on RF Power knob turned all the way up DK 15 wts. Don't know pep swing. I talked to my friend on...

Well last night i put the Optima to the test in my mobile, While making my deliveries. This little radio has great receive on it. The filtering system is great. ( when passing semi-trucks, some of the drivers use a power converter which throws off a 60 cycle hum in your radio ) And this little...

Robb,Last night the sirens went off and Thanks to the Ham Operators, I pick up their signal on a little Shortwave Radio. St Louis got hit hard last night. I am 2.75 hrs away. And more Severe Weather to come. I will get a chance to play with the radio tomorrow 73's n Happy Easter to you and your's

Thanks everyone for the replies. 73's and Happy Easter to you and your's

Welcome to the forum. As stated above, You will like it here. To answer your question, You will need a bigger power Supply to run that KL-503. The Specs stated the KL-503 will draw up to 30 amps. Texas Star amps are very stable but they do use a lot of amperage draw. 73's Leonard

I know there is a thread on this, But i can't seem to find it. I even looked in the Radio mods Section. The question is : What parts would i need to improve the receive and to take out some of the white noise on a Rci-2950dx I think I remember one part would be the Schottky ??? 2SC2999 ?? Any...
