Cobra 29 & 4 pill amp

Agreed. I'm pretty limited with what I'm allowed to do. As for now, I think I have it as best as I can get it. An install shop might be able to get it a little better, but I'm not sure if it would be worth the time and money for such a minuscule improvement. The antenna has been on an analyzer before, and my impedance was a tad off. Now, just to figure out how to fix that impedance number to be perfect, lol.

 

I'm not THAT into it. They both have helped me tho, and Im appreciative for it, but they know alot more than me and are on a different level. It does give me something to tinker with at night night tho, helps starve off the boredom. I do have my limits tho. My coax is at 48ohms and not 50..... good enough for me. Lol

 

I'm not sure how dirty or clean they are. I was kind of hoping that since it was a factory radio, and not "tuned"....that the signal would be somewhat cleaner.

 

My "limit" is when it's no fun anymore, starts to bring me unnecessary aggravation, or when the cost outweighs the benefit. Like Meteorgray said, I'm just going to use it and enjoy. Could it be better?...yeah, maybe, but at what cost? Not worth it to me.

 

Your correct, I was. But those setups didnt last very long. The radios were dead keying 4 watts and swinging to 30 watts. I had 2 RM 203Ps, and 1 Palomar 250 stop working after Chris tuned them (the pills are blown in all 3). He told me that he got 140 watts out of the RM's, and 250 watts out of the Palomar (neither are rated for that). Seems like they were being overdriven and that's what lead to their demise. I could be wrong tho. That's a discussion I plan to have with him next time I get back to his shop. This is what lead me to wanting to completely eliminate any kind of "technician" involvement in my setup. EVERY single one that I have used has delivered a radio that was worse than when they got a hold of it. I dont trust any of them anymore. HardDrive is my last attempt, if he fails, then I'm done with radios, it just isnt meant to be for me I guess.
