So your SWR was good, but the other numbers were not. You said it was because you were sitting still in a parking lot full of trucks, implying...
Yeah, Ron said that. He said they're going to spend a week soon to get it reopened in Victorville at the High Desert Truck Stop. (Might be...
I worked with Ron the other day. He's put in a 2W reduction toggle switch for me and is mailing my radio back to me today.
Door was closed every time we tested anything and we were in the middle of giant nearly empty parking lot. Empty because the stores weren't open...
At the moment, standalone 102". I'll eventually get a riser since I need to be longer anyway (SWR > on 40 than on 1).
He hooked at at the radio using my coax. He checked at the antenna by using his own coax. Got strange readings on my coax at first. Then after...
Nope. Not faulty. His analyser and my SWR meter were in agreement every time. When it was bad on the analyzer, it was bad on my SWR meter, and...
Both places. No. I have an external SWR meter.
Definitely not the coax. It's #### near brand new and great care was taken to route away from anything sharp, away from the door (went through a...
Humility isn't a weakness. From the brief interaction I had with Hard Drive, I can tell he could use a refill on his prescription of Humilify.
Oh, I've got two braided straps on the driver's door hinges. I guess you don't remember, but I had you take picture of yours because the body is...
Selling them and having them are one thing. Using them is another. LOL
Not sure what you mean by RF grounding. Ron said the mount provided the ground and that the coax at the antenna needs to be in good contact with...
Well, just had Ron Damron take a look at my setup. He got my SWRs back down below 1.5, but he didn't really "do" anything except take things apart...
I ended up getting mine from a place called Viking CB in Fontana for $37. ♂️ I'll check out CB World though! Thanks!
Totally agree. From my discussions with him so far, I believe it's the same guy and he hasn't changed his stripes.
I agree, @Ridgeline... I'll ask if he'll give me a variable power knob instead of locking me into a wattage. That way, I can have full 4 watts of...
I said I'd never let some "radio tech" work on my radio. I've run a stock virgin radio for a long time now. Just never been very satisfied with...
We've recently learned that Hard Drive is only selling new radios and not doing any bench work. So that leaves Ron. Is he still around? Is this...
I get by there about twice a year at most. Guess I'll have to order one. Amazon has them about $15 cheaper and free shipping.
