There used to be a monitoring agency called REACT that would monitor channel 9. Unfortunately they really don't do it these days to my...
When the sun, moon and all the stars and planets are aligned....you can hear people from hundreds of miles away and can even communicate with...
I would say pretty good. Not sure how far I was able to talk with the 1000. I know a lot of people have said they went up a few S units when going...
I think that's a really nice looking radio albeit a little overpriced. I think it only has a single final though. It's little brother I believe...
That's not true. The right magnet mount CAN get you out. I've talked 6 miles between my mobile mag mount Wilson 1000 and my 102 whip mobile for...
Dang that radio had it all. I'd like to find a radio that had side band and weather.
Not all 10 meter bands have roger beeps and echo boards and such. Also Gadfly not everyone talks the CB lingo you just did. And not everyone who...
I'll bet that 20 was peak power, divide that in half and that's what you're probably really running. Which in that case I don't think is really...
Connex wise.....I've heard good things about the 3300HP, or the 4300-300 gives you the built in linear amp, but for what you pay for one you could...
Yeah but how are they going to catch you?
Funny you ask this... I was at a CB shop that was owned and operated by an old timer who might I add has a nice array of very old CB radios in...
Big question is what's the probability they're going to catch you? What do they do? Drive around semi's with a field strength meter and then pull...
Yep 1.0:1 is the lowest you can get an SWR.
Not sure on this one as I have a Rat Shack meter. But the way they usually work is you calibrate the meter first by keying up on the channel...
As mentioed a linear amp will put your signal out further. You can also have mods done on your radio such as a higher final transistor with a peak...
Correct. CB radios per FCC rules are limited to 4 watts of power. Export radios far exceed those standards. Therefore an export radio converted to...
I had an individual chat with me today from about 2 miles away. He was running what he said was a bone stock Galaxy 48T, I was running my bone...
So are you saying that echo and reverb are not one and the same? And I will agree on your 2nd paragraph, except it seems a lot of trucks also...
Yeah i don't think anyone monitors ch 9 anymore. Last I tried using it was when a tornado was tearing thru town. No response. Others have said the...
The only difference between a 68 and a 78 is the 78 comes with the built in SWR meter and also comes with a high SWR light. Otherwise they're the...
