I always run an external and I thought that may be it, so I unplugged it, same difference.

Dove in a little deeper. It's only the receive audio that cuts out, watching the meter it continues to receive, and some audio can be heard with volume all the way up. Turning the radio off and back on while still in LSB brings back the LSB receive audio and I can rag chew until I change modes...

I would think the heat to be an issue if my 980 didn't do the exact same thing (albeit without losing the receive on LSB) Edit:// my Bill FCC gets nice 'n toasty sandbagging too.

Once the radio is warmed up (and I've noticed these new style radios get HOT just sitting there sandbagging, it's the regulator chips that do) it will not receive on LSB. Starts off as a delay going into LSB, then it won't receive until you key/unkey the mic, then it just won't receive at all...

The guy in the CB shop at the Petro in Weatherford, TX thinks people who use antenna analyzers are idiots, and that the correct way to do it is to use an inline SWR meter, because that way you're measuring with the radio in-system. Taking out the radio is strictly forbidden when measuring and...

And of course Palomar is the only company currently selling matched sets, should you want to install one in something that has a single bias control for multiple transistors (cough, hack, 98VHP, cough)

BBI's video about it shows it on a scope. It looks absolutely horrific. But to his credit, he also says the radio is never going to go on the air toward the beginning of the video, it's strictly a bench radio, and he got it so he can emulate several different radios with one unit instead of...

Old thread, I know... I now have one of these. After tune, once the radio is fully warmed up, it will not receive on LSB. Any ideas?

"Cracked" as in case, not code. Still a misleading video title.

My oil coil Franken-tenna that you have seen is 87" overall with 54"of shaft.

Yeah, good points. I've had an extremely rough couple of weeks that have me more than just a little out of it. My apologies, carry on.

That's my point. OP is running a KL 203 amp, they do 100-120 depending on setup. he should be able to beat what I did with my Stryker. The PC 122 does 5 watts average.

10 miles with a 980SSB driving a KL203? You're doing something wrong. I can reach out at least that far on AM with a barefoot PC 122 in a Freightliner Cascadia. I did 26 miles with a barefoot Stryker 955, same truck. With over 100 watts, if I wasn't reaching out 30+, I'd be pretty ticked off.

Yeah, on stuff I own and don't intend to sell, I couldn't give a rat's patootie about what it is or isn't worth. My hobbies are not businesses and I don't approach them with a business sense. they are for my enjoyment and you can't put a price on that. Anyway, the last time I used that radio, I...

ANL works for sure... Wiper motor doesn't inject any noise to speak of. Driver's window motor does... NB doesn't attenuate that at all so I can tell.

Hokai, so. All my radios' noise blankers manage to blank out engine noise. Except my PC 122. It even picks it up from nearby running reefer units. Switching between ANL and NB+ANL seems to make no difference at all. Thoughts? Diesel engines, so this isn't ignition noise. Probably coming from...

As for a Volvo, there should be no need for a vertical dipole. Those trucks have steel cabs, only the roof cap is fiberglass on those.

Yeah, I doubt I'll ever run out past Denver with this company anyway. That being said, I'd wonder if the whip would even show up on a security cam. I have been through that tunnel a couple of times, though, the overheight sensors were nothing special, the same units in use at virtually every...

Anyway, the 102 is back on. apologies for potato pic.
