Buy a yaesu 8800 or 8900. They are the best crossband capable radios on the market. Kenwoods are good but they have a 2 minute time out timer if the repeater you are listening to does not drop the crossbander shuts off until the repeater drops. That means it wont receive or transmitt anything...
Are you using new coax or some old stuff you had kicking around that could of maybe been damaged? Seems like you did your math correct because the figures you gave for the length of each leg seems on point for 28.400MHZ. I would be concerned about the coax. If the coax is in good shape and there...
You should change the name of the thread from " 28am and the gang" to " who cares about John Denver" because that all who is referred to in this thread.
A free 10k is always good to go.
I had to cut about 3 inches off my wip. If you go to short a new wip is about 10 bucks. I have my 10k hard mounted on a Gunny626 puck. Google him. He makes them and also sells the coax needed for the mount. My SWR is perfect. Its a good strong rugged mount. I...

CON:

I dont have much to complain about this radio. I ran it in my truck w good success for 2 yrs. I put it in my house on a dipole and it did ok. Its my first HF radio so i cant compare it to anything else. So my opinion is its a...
Maybe you should define your operating style..ssb? AM? Cb? HAMRADIO? I will assume this amp is for CB and for AM since thats what most of the amp questions come from is AM CBers and w that said, Dave Made all the way. If your into SSB then stay away from Dave Made. If for SSB maybe you would...
I think his question was " what other radios do you truckers use besides CBs?". And not what a particular antenna was.
I have talked to many truckers (short and long haul) on 2m repeaters (but mostly simplex) and also on HF. You would be surprised how many do have their ham tickets.. i spend...
Is it on frequency?? What AM band are you trying to listen too? And is it what you are hearing that is muffled or is it what they are hearing on your tx that is muffled?
I know this may sound stupid but are you on AM and trying to listen to a side band signal??
Other than that and makeing...
KNOCK ON WOOD!
just the opposite has happened to me.. I got out of the Marines 11yrs ago. Thought i could and would land me a state police job sfter getting out. I took the state police exam while still serving in the Marines and scored a 98 on the test. Got out of the corps and never even...
People ran wips on the bumper for decades.. it will be fine.
.But as for that HR2600..now thats a bad ass radio and sure is a talker..if you are an 11m guy, get an astatic m6b on that bad boy and it will scream.. i ran that radio from around 1992 to 2005. Best AM talking radio i ever owned..
