    Cobra 142GTL Paired with 148

    yes I will eventually get a freq counter, But there still should be a mobile radio that I can get that will line up.. So If I have to buy a few till I find one that works then that'll be more cost effective then buying a feq counter and prolly use it once.. I got a cobra 25 for the car now as cb...

    Deadkey vs swing

    Weeks later, Still no solid answer Well its been weeks and radio hasnt made it to the car, because i dont have a solid answer. On this cobra 25 there is a swing kit. With the amp (HDV250) its around 50w swinging upwards to its peek. If I run it barefoot, It would be around 1w swinging to 10 or...

    Deadkey vs swing

    WOW! Thanks so much, Someone finally cought on to the question (2 different driving requirements) why didnt I think to word it like that LOL.. So if I am correct, if the swing kit is lowering the carrier and doesnt sound bad I could leave it for when using the amp.. And bypass for barefoot to...

    Deadkey vs swing

    Thanx.. Thats not what I said though... i said barefoot the radio is doing a little under 1w and swings to around 10.. With the amp its seen as 50W swinging to 200w.. I know its stated the amp cant do 250.. but thats what the dosy says at 14v. So whats the point of peek and tune is all you want...

    Deadkey vs swing

    I never (or anyone) touched the traps on this rig.. The limiter is is place, and mod is all the way up.. There is a cap/resistor lowering the deadkey. if 1/4 is ideal, then its fine the way it is for an amp.. Correct so far? if 50 - 200 is ideal, then where should it be using it by itself...

    AM CB Myths???

    with the 25 connected to an amp it reads 50w deadkey, swing up to around 200.. I dont plan on keeping that amp on it as I use that on my base.. the radio does under 1w swinging to around 10 or so.. So its perfect for the amp, but I will need to make it work to its peek without one (higher...

    AM CB Myths???

    Differences among 2 radio's I also noticed on my base, people say it sounds better turned down (More swing) when I turn it up the deadkey is 100 and people say it sounds better down (Variable)... However with the 25, it sounds better maxed out... 50W DK and swinging to max.. So yea this was my...

    AM CB Myths???

    I know lots about car audio, and because much changes and is recorded at a different audio level, a scope doesnt help but limit power to the min without distortion, however you pop a low recorded track in and because its too low you wont have means to go over.. Thats the same senerio with cb...

    AM CB Myths???

    Thanks mechanic.. You've got me on the right track.. I was just on 19 and they too say depending on the amp, lower deadkey is better, but too much swing is also bad. A nice balance of both is what you want..I am not needle happy, infact Based on my other thead (dk vs swing) They asked me to get...

    AM CB Myths???

    AM CB Myths???

    Isnt this what I just said above a different way? as with car audio if your clipping that clipped signal will be amplified and distored as well. I have seen it myself on a scope setting gains on car audio.. However I am trying to understand this when it comes to a cb (Which I know is Different)...
