A small amount of knowledge and one would understand the analogy, the flesh is not affected by magnetic fields nor does it significantly disturb...
I believe that no problem. A 'SHUNT' as you call it is a load, resistance turning RF energy into heat by increasing molecular vibration....
I agree except for the 49 inch whip. The 'Trucker 2000 & 5000 10" Shaft' states 49.5 inches on the Wilson page I linked on my last post, for CH...
Likely most of it.
Vintech "Ok I don't know Outlaw But He isn't correct as to how loaded antennas really work." "Now, putting your hand on the COIL and seeing a...
More likely an untuned antenna and/or poor ground. High SWR measurement as well as the light indicate power reflecting back in. Tune the antenna....
I did not carefully go through all 3 pages but I do not recall the mention of what kind of speaker. It should be an actual PA horn type facing...
You have to take the 577b apart and rewire it. Plus they sound better if you install the transformer and .1uF poly cap from an RK56 inside. This...
Go in there with a micrometer and prove their finals are not bigger. Just a different number. Gets them every time.
I prefer doing the dedicated plug myself but I have a Realistic DIN to Cobra 4 pin adapter I use every so often on my bench. The quality is fairly...
Adapters exist but often are loose and not very well suited for rough road conditions. Myself I would find a shop and get a DIN plug installed on...
It is a 5 pin DIN plug. Wired as follows: 1- Shield 2- N/C 3- Transmit 4- Audio 5- Receive
100 percent correct. Shaft length affects the needed stinger length. Also the higher the coil the greater the reduction in eddy currents which...
So glad you are done but do not think you have the right to jump in and impute negative emotions, and motivations towards the character of another...
Defending the indefensible by using a non sequitur position disavows logic and reason. While English is not as specific as Greek it is accurate...
Read this post many times and wanted to reply but thought 'no not worth it'. However in effect you are demonizing with sheer propaganda an entire...
Which would also rob half the power from getting out, i.e., the power dissipated in the dummy load as heat. This is not the same thing as that...
Actually nearly all modern trucks use splitters not 75 ohm coax. But the comment by n9mqx applies to splitters also, as well as a dual coax. You...
My brother was a lifelong trucker from His first job in youth on. Best driver I ever knew. He hated CB because of the foul language. But He would...
This thread prompted me to search for a DVD copy of an old movie, "Citizens Band". Found a seller on fleabay with 3 DVD's left. I also have the...
