I ran mine as a base. I used an Astatic 575M6 and IMO they paired up nicely. If you're putting it into a noisy vehicle, I'd look into a noise canceller like an Astatic 636L. When I ran my Uniden Grant XL and my President Jackson as mobiles in my pickup; I used an Astatic 575M6 with the Grant and...
Thanks, Skynyrd. I had my doubts it would hold up, but I hoped it would. Once it comes back from repair, I plan on keeping it at home. I've since bought a Galaxy DX44HP for using in the truck.
I can't say how the new 2950DX-3 compares to the older models. I bought a new 2950DX3 around Christmas and used it in the semi truck. Worked like a champ for the first 4 months (using an Astatic 636L), now it's having problems (shutting off while transmitting and frequncy display blanking out)...
This is my thought as well, and it's the reason I'm hesitant to put one in the big truck. I'd cry like a little girl if I had one stolen.
Great radios IMHO. I still have a few stashed at my dad's in his gun safe.
I had a lot of fun in the early 90's using an HR2510, Astatic 575M6 (or my...
Just to follow up, I ordered my DX44HP from DTB radio. Thanks to the folks here who suggested Dave. He's been really cool with my barrage of questions.
His shop is located pretty close to one of my company's terminals, so I plan on taking my ancient President Jackson to him for repair in the...
If I'm limited to only 13.8 to 14.1 volts via my truck's binding posts, would that voltage be sufficient to run a higher wattage radio?
I don't have a bunch of electronics knowledge, but as I understand it, a higher wattage radio requires the radio being wired directly to the truck's battery...
GI Joe's seems to have the lowest price and offers a $30.00 "align radio tx/rx for maximum performance" Any idea if GI Joe's is a decent place to buy from?
I also plan on buying a new RK-56 mic for it, GI Joe's price on one is decent.
From what I'm reading, it was introduced this year. 40 watts after a decent peak and tune.
I'm a company driver and I'm limited to 13.8 volts via the truck's binding posts. Going straight to the battery is strictly forbidden as are linears.
Has pretty much all the bells and whistles I'm...
I'm hoping to get some recommendations on a reputable shop and or tech to buy one from. I want to avoid any shop/tech that clips components or jacks things up too far.
Thanks in advance, Brew
From what I see, the General Washington still has the 10Khz switch. I've emailed CBradiosplus to see if they still have this model in stock.
From what I've read, the Lee and the Washington, besides a different faceplate are the same radio.
If so, I'm defintely going with the General...
Thanks! have you had in any past dealings with this store?
In my researching here and elsewhere, there seem to be a number of shops that, for lack of better term, butcher the radio with crazy mods before they ship it out.
I used the Search function here and it didn't provide much; Same with a Google Search.
All I found from Google is loads of shops selling them at various prices, some shops 'providing tuning/aligning/peaking,' etc.
I'm a Trucker and my company forbids linears in their trucks, so I'll be...
