My antenna is a full wave length or slightly better off the ground, Carl... and am close enough to shake hands with my neighbors, Robb. What is that you are saying about 100% modulation? Do I want a radio tuned for no more than 100% modulation? Thanks! Snake Eyes

I need help please in choosing a dual final export radio that will NOT interfere with my neighbors' television sets. And, how would I want it tuned? I plan on purchasing a new radio (no preference on base or mobile), and only care about NOT interfering with nearby electronic devices (in my...

I acquired a Uniden Washington with extra channels (there are 3 switches, where each switch has 3 positions)... and am looking for a channel chart, if anyone knows anything about some of these extra channels... I would appreciate the help...! Other than the above information, I have nothing...

Anyone think this radio is ever going to see the light of day??? From time to time, I've emailed Ranger, and gotten responses indicating that they would indeed be releasing a radio that put out 400 watts and had SSB, so... looking for any info. from the radio community as to their...

Thanks for all the responses. The 98 VHP is here, and dropping the maul (well not quite as my antenna is indoors, but nonetheless, it is here)! Thanks again for all the input!! 73, Snake Eyes

I am in the midst of working with another ham, to get on digital VHF, most likely on PSK31. We are not quite ready to take the "digital plunge" as of right now, but are working on getting the right hardware, some of which we already have. Thanks for your help guys! 73, Snake Eyes

I've actually been running an Antron 99 for 8-9 mos., mounted on the second story floor of my home. It extends up into the attic, and no complaints as of yet (TVI)!! As far as any other type of interference, I haven't heard any complaints there either. Been pretty fortunate really! Due...

thank you KI4MSJ. 73, Snake Eyes

i am interested in using cocoamodem (or a similar mac alternative) to learn more about psk31, and maybe give it a try. :) at present, i have no experience with digital modes (or CW), and psk31 seems to be the mode that everyone is talking about, so if anyone has a wealth of knowledge that...

waiting to take delivery on it THIS week. quite excited, as this will give me a suitable "downstairs" radio. it's the second 98vhp i've owned. some of the locals here have radios in their bedrooms and such, and use multiple antennas... my situation is a bit different, as my antenna is mounted...

this amp has definitely not been converted, and i'm at cbtricks.com, looking for the conversion! it seems there's a lot to it (IMHO), but I will let it get done by someone who does this kind of thing, no doubt..... Snake Eyes

I have the Texas Star 500V, but it needs to be converted over to 10-12 meter. According to cbtricks.com, this can be done fairly easily. Anyone personally try their hand at converting one of these things? I have a friend with an electronics background that is going to look at this amp...

There was a delay in shipment, I should have the Texas Star on Tuesday! Will report back then. Thank you. 73, Snake Eyes

well, what i'm hearing is that the radio does well when it's stock. what i'm also hearing is that an alignment is definitely a good idea. so, last question... what is typically done in cb radio alignments? ur answer should help me greatly in making an "informed" decision. 73, Snake Eyes

LC, Your post is like a breath of fresh air. In that, I am NOW considering (and have been thinking about) just keeping the radio stock, so as to keep its value up!! How important is an alignment, and turning up the DynaMike internally? Since the radio will do well at its type accepted...
