Upper and lower channels on a Cobra? Must’ve been tinkered with. Not necessarily a bad or good thing, but it sure isn’t virgin from the factory...
What a quack. How does he make a living? Does he decide on one customer and charge them his entire salary?
It’s not worth it. I reached out to Fine Tune a few times on Facebook and was ghosted every time. The first time, I was interested in getting a...
One of these days Rabbi and Ridgeline need to fight it out with 102” SS whips.
You stated you’re new to CB. When I was new, I had the same issue. I heard faint voices in the static. I thought my equipment was to blame. Fast...
On the bright side, it upgraded itself to a water-cooled antenna. ;)
Those are good SWR readings. The hams would focus on using an antenna analyzer at that point. SWR is only part of the picture. You mention you’re...
The more I think about it, unless you run the handheld without an external power supply and antenna, it won’t be any more convenient to use than a...
I like my handheld Cobra. Definitely use a DC power supply (it’s not a charger) if you’ll be transmitting. Receiving uses far less power but...
Strange? More like dumb. Can’t you get law enforcement involved? Radios are usually $100+ dollars. Not exactly a petty theft to keep it illegally....
This tech might be amazing, but in 2019, CB tech isn’t exactly in demand to most of the world. I trust he is great, so I would gladly pay him what...
Or he just doesn’t respond. I didn’t even have a chance to “get out of line.”
Haha good luck. I’ve reached out several times over the last three years to no avail. I would’ve gladly bought a new radio or twice from him if...
It splits some. All but 5 channels are 10khz apart, so for the rest of the band, it just goes up a channel. So ch 18 with the switch on is really 19.
Yes, on any of the 5 new channels.
I heard somewhere that since the govt shut down, the FCC also shutdown. Now I don’t think the FCC really cares about CB radio in 2019, but for...
It makes sense they’re cheaper now. Most electronics have only gotten cheaper. How much did the first generation of microwaves cost? Car AM...
“I’m not a guy who likes to chat.” That’s most CB users these days. Generally that or rambos.
Send me $20 to register your handle. I am in charge of that department. :biggrin_25525:
I used to think it was a result of using cophased antennas. I thought the signal was slightly out of phase between the two, and the echo was a...
