I decided to get another 979, and I'll use my old one in place of my base radio for now. I'll get my radio into a shop when I can find one that...
I will look into this. I never heard of 213, but I did a search and I see that 8x seems to have a lot of loss and is thinner. I'll look around...
There are variable resistors (VR14, VR16, and VR18) one is for modulation, one is for low AM Power and the third is for High AM Power. I checked...
I tried one more thing with each radio and maybe this will shed a little light? DX2547: PWR position for the meter. If I key up it sits around 3...
I have two radios. I bought a DX2547 base back in 2006 and a DX979 mobile in 2011. I had both "peaked and tuned" Nothing clipped or bent. Just...
Ah. I was thinking that might be it. Just weird, because there are zero pickle parks or truck stops in my area. Closest ones are an hour away....
Hey all, I want to tell a short, but odd story about something that happened while listening to channel 19 while driving my personal vehicle home...
Another related, but unrelated observation. I watch big rigs tailgate CONSTANTLY in the Pittsburgh area (100 mile radius is what I run). All of...
I know plenty of good drivers that drink 5 hour energy and the like. They still sleep every night and run legal. Gotta love the media and the...

shoot me a PM and a pic. I'll see what my funds look like
Ah I'm super anal about my lights. I have spares for every kind in my toolbox.
Yeah I think they wait for the guys that have 900 pieces of crap all over their dash with a TV duct taped to the passenger seat playing naughty...
Any time I pass through a checkpoint or weigh station where the DOT stand outside and "randomly" wave us in for a level 1/2/3, I flip on all my...
I survived passed through 5-6 check points got waved through. Pays to have a clean truck, I guess. They opted for the clunky older trucks that...
Marten requires Hazmat within 90 days. Just don't leave your stuff in your truck on home time, the shop guys will steal it. Happened to me and...
I just want a nice steering wheel. I'd like a wooden one. I think 200 bucks is too much just for a steering wheel.
I have my eye on a 1984 359.. all black even the tanks I need!
Adorable friend, to boot! Nice pics!
A shot from the bunk. Back is clean, too. [ATTACH]
