Being someone that has dealt with the ham community for many many years, how do us folks that relate with 11m deal with the uptight BS a lot of...
SSB in a rig isn’t practical, but if it is a must, a great SSB rig is an Anytone AT-6666. If SSB isn’t necessary, go for a Stryker SR-447HPC2....
I see the contradiction in the post. It’s local work that it was able to shut down the metal. The recieve however metal had fiberglass beat every...
108 will out transmit a coiled antenna. There are those that come close enough you can’t really tell a difference though. Fiberglass antennas...
No way that board was butchered by DTB, someone else has been in there too, someone that should have never even let the words “soldering iron”...
Seriously, I can see some need a chance to grow up. No one mentioned a thing about Mark until the cult comment. This #### right here is what is...
great set of ears out there for sure. Just finished setting up the wife's Tahoe with a whole new antenna system using a new 4' SS. Now it's time...
“They” have said that for years now though
In that case I’m flying lol
I’m the same way, it’s something that makes you wonder. No real need to try, but neither was the pancake antenna I tried once before.
I’m intrigued by this, it has me curious now.
Most likely antenna given you’ve covered all the other bases. Checking SWR with an external meter? It’s a service truck bed I’m assuming? You may...
I float between the lower 40 one band below CB and regular CB channels. I could run my to the local channel and get 1.1:1 SWR and go up to regular...
Skipshooter antennas are good, and the customer service from that site is as well. I bought a neon orange antenna that turned pink in a day, not...
Gee, I didn’t know 4 watts was the limit for CB and 12 for SSB. I understand what you’re trying to get across, but saying it’s great on CB and on...
You don’t have to have a high powered radio to talk skip, I’ve done it many times with a Cobra 29 barefooted. Of course it’s a lot easier with...
The typical 1/4 wave whip when tuned properly for CB usage would measure out to 108”, hence the reason a 102” is still slightly off, and the...
Still an inefficient antenna. At a minimum I would run 4’. The less you have as far as a load the more efficient the antenna is, no matter where...
If it is in fact 1.8:1 then damage is unlikely. If the radio was peaked and tuned supposedly, there’s a good chance they never accounted for the...
I’ve never had an issue getting ahold of him, and my radio isn’t a SSB unit, it’s one he worked on a while back. Nice that you’ll resurrect an old...
