Only if the load impedance is not equal to the source impedance. In a test shop everything should be 50 ohms so therefore coax length does NOT skew things.

Agreed. that's that way to do it.
You are not wrong. That waveform is indeed from a single tone test and a single tone test is not suitable for testing IMD or true pep power output.
That was my suspicion as well. BTW the image of the meter is low resolution and when I blow it up to read the slug it is too grainy.
You are correct. there will always be some reactance. Matching at the antenna makes the antenna system as a whole resonant. even though the antenna itself is Not resonant by making a conjugate match.
Jack aka Freecell lives in Idaho and might still do work occasionally.
David Bupp aka DTB Radio has a shop in Carlisle PA and has child porn charges pending.
Russell Clift AB7IF died last year.
The only coffin mic I know of is the "Truck King 56" and it sounds just like a Telex Road King 56. No I don't have videos of that mic being used since the guy with the Cobra 29 doesn't own one.
Thanks.
I like the old coffin style cobra stock mics

Jack was almost as bad as your buddy Mark in terms of arrogance. Not only was he banned off this site, he also ran off with someone's money and radio that was sent to him for repair. His Amateur radio call sign isn't on the FCC data base anymore. He's long gone, or is he? Last I heard he's back to selling vacuum cleaners door to door!
And to think this guy was on the ever venerable so called " white list CB shops " .

Jack has definitely been humbled by Mark. They talk frequently. Jack is very skilled. He took money from a friend of mine also.

Being a CB newbie in the USA i thought I'd chime in on this one. I've seen many videos on YouTube, this particular chap ( Hardrive) tends to stand out the most for me, the reasons being, he gives me the impression that A: He's approach to tuning is different to others and B: quality of output trumps power numbers. These are the two main reasons I'm attracted to use him in the future should the need arise. Not his sexy voice ( no homo ) nor his well groomed nails.

I never put much stock in lists like that.
IIRC didn't Jack and Fire Communications actually make up that list of black listed and white listed shops?
I do believe he did, naturally he put himself on it…the white list.
Is that arrogance or what?
