    HR-2510 Mic

    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...

    New 2950DX ?

    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.

    New 2950DX ?

    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)...

    President HR-2510 - Ham / CB Radio

    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...

    Galaxy DX44HP: Where to buy?

    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...

    Galaxy DX44HP: Where to buy?

    I appreciate the heads up on GI Joe's. This is exactly what I want to avoid at all costs.

    Galaxy DX44HP: Where to buy?

    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...

    Galaxy DX44HP: Where to buy?

    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.

    Galaxy DX44HP: Where to buy?

    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...

    Galaxy DX44HP: Where to buy?

    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

    Gen. Lee: Where to buy?

    I scrapped the Gen Lee/Gen Washington idea. After researching, I've found the Galaxy DX44HP is the radio I want. Thanks for the replies

    Gen. Lee: Where to buy?

    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...

    Gen. Lee: Where to buy?

    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.

    Gen. Lee: Where to buy?

    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...

    Which Mobile Antenna?

    Unfortunately, no. The company I drive for spec'd the truck and the antennas are mounted along each side of the sleeper. I think they are about 2' long. I'm told the CB antenna sytem is on some kind of built in "switcher", and that the truck's CB, am/fm radio and TV antenna are somehow...

    Which Mobile Antenna?

    I don't care for the stock co-phased antenna system in the 387 Peterbilt that I drive. I'm going to install a single antenna using a different mount (Outback Mount) and run a new coax from the new antenna into the truck to my Grant XL. I'm considering the Predator 10K or a Wilson 2000; Both...

    super cb in semi truck??? :)

    Questions on Semi Antenna setup I drive a 387 Peterbilt and the stock co-phased antenna system is terrible. I've talked with a few fellow 387 drivers and they've talked a lot about the Outback antenna mount. It attaches to the grab handle behind the sleeper and it curves out around the side of...

    super cb in semi truck??? :)

    I couldn't agree more. IMO you can own the most tricked out radio there is, but it won't be worth beans without a good antenna. I also drive a semi; I've had better results getting out using a single antenna vs dual antennas. I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as most of the folks on this forum...

    THE UNIDEN GRANT XL OWNERS CLUB ?

    Hi LC, thanks for the info! I actually don't remember ever having the Grant modded.:blushing: but I do remember buying it new!:D If it's not too much trouble, please post the info you have on the receive mod. I'm not even close to qualified to be inside a radio, but the only Tech I used...
