Where is everyone #5

You can get it set up and then it shouldn’t fluctuate. Your radio will have a transistor that will produce so many watts depending on the type, that cobra 29 will be easy to set the deadkey by a tech at 2 Watts when you deadkey, then produce 20 Watts when you talk. That actuates the transistors in the amplifier that then produce how ever many watts they are rated for.

Hooking it up goes radio with a short coax jumper to the transmitter side of the amp, then the coax from the antenna to the side of the amp that says antenna. Run decent rg8 or better, get it from a cb shop and not the truck stop if you can avoid it.

I personally like to keep a meter inline to watch and make sure everything is cruising like it should. run 8 gauge wire with quick disconnects from the amp down to the battery that is frame grounded. Make sure you put the appropriate size fuse, probably 25-30 amps within 6 inches of the battery on the power wire. Check the swr’s and keep them at 1.1-1.3 on the meter with the amp off. Then you can start talking.

 

We're gonna hafta have a talk real serious between a B model and a big cam cummins.

Less I can find a KT600 or a 12V92.

Let's just say you wanna play your cards tight I can do the same. Drop a hint here n there and then toss them on the table.

 

Yessir. Dad gave me a 23 channel Midland when I was 17. Put a fiberglass antenna in my Chevy pickup and park out by I-40 and listen to the largecars. I was already hooked, I just didn’t know it.

 

That makes much more sense thanks for dumbing it down. I'll get to work and I'll bookmark that somehow

 

I had a 23 channel Johnson messenger in my ol chevy. The bad part was hadda stay in radio range when I started drivin

 

That’s a highly sought after rig these days. Good old radios.

I was lucky, that Midland was the only radio dad had, and it was in my truck. Lol.

 

Really wonder why they are so hot

 

Partner we just might have to find you a load north...you lost me...and I been to school. A transistor is just a switch...you put .8 on the leg to switch it and put whatever it will handle thru the contacts. You boosting the wattage to the max of the transistor? Will the caps handle the heat?

 

@MACK E-6 you asked a while back bout how bad she was hurt. Seems like I promised you pics after she was back together.

 

I need to know too....I been out of it to long. The old Alpine I have in the truck had a ceramic volume knob....it didn't last two weeks...now my remote to control it is giving me fits.
