You won't change that "coax length" bull****. Its been part of CB since 1958. It is the zombie myth that will never die! Wanna mess with the...
This one was Eastbound between Nashville, and Knoxville. I think I hit a slowdown for that I-81 one, too!
Ainnnnk! That might prove to be difficult, not to mention illegal. Stay OFF the 140-150 frequencies. These are used by police, fire, and the...
I was driving I-40 yesterday, Nashville, Tn, Charlotte, NC area. There was a huge wreck, so I turned on channel 19 to see which lane was open....
That's what I do!:)I measure out what I need to get to the radio and cut it to that length. In my case, it takes 6 feet--maybe 7--to get from the...
Jammer's got it down! Strip away all the hype and pseudo-technical "experts", and coax is merely ONE thing: a means of getting your signal from...
Must be that CB has its own RF theory and physics. Truly funny that commercial ops, amateurs and military stations pay little heed to coax...
I'm not done yet!:) I've never posted pics here before. don't really know how.:confused:
Since we're on the subject of ham radio, here goes. We've had 2 days of excellent spring-like WX, and I've been wanting to install my...
I don't know that I have any. I just installed my equipment, ran just enough feedline to get to the radio, SET the antenna for lowest SWR and @...
My original purpose in posting this thread was to illustrate that, when its all said and done, coax length is more like a placebo. Using the...
next you will have to have the right length of coax. i have shown the math involved already in my youtube videos, so please look there for...
I think you'll find "bad apples" in both worlds; ham AND CB. Honestly, most hams actually do not DO that; they have much better things to do than...
That would be my bet: he's got RF in the cab with him and grounding issues. Unless, he is moving when he's checking SWR-that would also cause it....
While i don't think a whip would cause external damage, should you happen to knock out a stoplight lens, and be seen doing it, it might be a...
Tnx! People don't realize there is a difference in RF ground and electrical ground. Remember: this is the reason why base antennas have radials....
Or run a 9' piece of wire from the mount out over the body of the camper/RV and secure it. THEN check/tune the antenna. The issue is prob'ly the...
Step on the brake. See if it makes any difference. Turn on the running lights. See if there's any effect. Ya never know. It could be that the...
With regard to the radios and the XYL.... you can always tell her you "holding it for a 'friend'". They are just letting you use it until they can...
Awesome! I missed another one on Ebay just a couple days ago. It had the remote head that goes with the RF-3200. IF I had seen it and won the...
