Well this has been fun. The answer is D: None of the above. Why? Because people smarter than me claim voltage alone won't hurt you. So I will...
Nope, that was just a simple circuit in my examples to show what current does vs voltages.
Apologies to the OP for getting side tracked. You should be fine with a 5 or 7.5 amp fuse as was recommended by others, since your not running a...
Are you sure? You can't argue with ohms law. Okay, let's say you have a 120v circuit and a 100 watt light bulb. Using ohms law I = P ÷ V. So...
Which voltage is most dangerous to humans, and why? A. 120v B. 220v C. 440V The answer depends on the circuit. Is the load in resistance or...
The OP said that they used the existing power wires that was in the truck, which since these wires are for a cb radio, it probably already had a 2...
Actually I do feel better, although I don't know why since I felt fine to start with... Hmmm. Uniden made a lot of radios for different companies...
I think the Uniden 885 cb radio is one of the most impressive modern cb radio made today. Thanks to the built in scanner, it opens up a lot of...
Okay, if you have or know someone with an antenna analyzer, it would give you a good idea. Do you hear anything with either coax hooked up? If...
The thicker cable is generally used for a co-phased antenna system, which has two antennas mounted on both mirror mounts. The smaller coax is...
One of the most important key to a good antenna system in todays trucks, is this thing called bonding. Bonding If done right, you will probably...
There's bells CB in Oakland Park which is about a couple hours from fort Myers. Not sure what other shop would be closer.
Yes, that is nice when they use the tape to protect the radio. I guess it had the plastic film on it from the factory, I just couldn't see it....
Thanks for the update. I know the NPG antenna system isn't ideal, but if it lets you use your radio, it's a win anyway.
I've mentioned a NGP antenna system to a couple of guys on other threads. If they tried it, they never replied back. I do know one fellow (can't...
Around 6:25 to 6:45 in the video he says that the radio's AM modulation doesn't look good on a scope, I wonder why that is. I wished he would have...
Oops I need to correct this post, I was in a hurry when I wrote it. The Cobra TSB says to turn VR6 until lite turns off ( with out coax...
As far as bonding straps go, a rule of thumb is to keep the braided straps short as possible. Here's a popular website explaining bonding. Bonding
Oh he did say that? Somehow I missed that. Watching the video on my phone it sure looked like the bezel was damaged. Thanks for clearing that up.
I've had this same problem years ago, but it was because I was using a through the glass antenna. My first thought when you said the previous...
