Hello all. First post here. New to radio tech, been reading up on it last couple weeks.
I am a logger and work in remote locations. We use cb's as communication quite a bit, especially to avoid collisions with log trucks on single lane gravel roads. The only time I really turn the cb on is out in the woods.
Have a cobra 29 lx, 102 whip mounted on top of pick up headache rack. Works good. Thinking of adding rm kl203p for more range. Have read I need to lower dead key. I seldom key up for more than 10 seconds, and almost never run a cb in populated areas.
Will amp last used this way without deadkey mod?
Do I need to worry about bleed over (or anything over driving the amp does) if I only run it in these areas?
Can I have a high low switch put in this radio? (Deadkey) If so can it be run to the 9/19 button?
Id like to just hook it up and run it, but thought Id ask her first. Theyre cheap so if I can run it without deadkey mods and get a couple years out if it Im good with that.
Sorry for long post, and thanks for the help.
