Linear Question

Not my style...I leave that to the other jerks. lol

SSB is great for shooting skip, if for no other reason, you don't need a bunch of power to do it...That said, I'm not a fan of SSB radios either in the mobile, mainly because with SSB, usually your going to be constantly using the Clarifier to fine tune stations in...In a mobile while driving, that's almost as bad as Texting on a cell phone.

 

I agree on that. But, it's fun to drive up on top of a mountain in the mobile and park and then shoot skip with the big boys! If you are real industrious you can rig up a ground plain set up with the spare tire and a little weight. We used a 20' or so pole with a CushCraft Ringo back in the day. An Antron would be the way to go now. There was usually an ice chest involved back then too. Heck, we did it at night and with just a little power talked ground wave up to 70 - 80 miles or more on AM. Awwww, the good ol' days!

 

Yeah, sitting and talking is one thing...but driving and trying to talk on SSB is another...

 

Go over to CB Radio Talk and see if you can get some help. Or to Worldwide DX Radio Forum and ask for help.

 

I agree, i like my deadkey at or below 1.5 watts. Got to have that swing in your step/

 

Is the middle switch put to the I or the 0?
