Im looking set my dx949 up in my little saturn, there is no room to mount it under the dash, so I am making up a little metal/aluminum box that will house the radio and Possible a small amp. IT will just sit in the seat next to me or on the floor of passenger side. I will make the power...

I'm looking at picking this amp up for a good price. I had another thread askimg for input about it. The issue i cant figure out is how to use my 2950dx with it and keying the amp. Would a simple manual switch into the RCA jack on the back work? I was thinking of making a custom ptt pedal that...

http://www.cbtricks.com/radios/galaxy/dx949/ This site says white on pin 4. There is no white, but I have a green.i put the green on 4 and not right at all, 1 shield 2 yellow 3 red 4 green. Maybe I'm confused here, the bare wire is the shield? It looks like its just a bare wire and not shielding...

I found this tube amp on CL. It looks to me home made and well constructed, 3 tubes and 10-60 or 80 meters. 1st if it works on 10 meters will it work on 11? Second the guy has no tuner to test it with, but said it powers up and had a ham friend go thru it and all looks to be well put together...

Does anyone know what's involved in doing the conversion or better yet someone i can ship to have it done? I read its almost the same thing as the SB 220 model. I might have a shot at picking one up for a reasonably price. And yes it's for 11 meters but in a nice guy on the free bands. I can do...

Right now I'm running no ground on my homebrew 5/8 GP. its about 35 ' up in a pine tree. I do have a small copper pipe driven in to the ground rith outside my window with a wire I attach to the outer connector of coax right at the back of radio for stray RF. Not sure if this actually does...

I have this workman watt/swr/modulation meter. A while back i noticed when wiggling the antenna out connector on the back , signal would cut in and out. Looking inside there is a brass threaded rod or screw coming out of the center going into a copper tube and kinda screwed into or pushing on a...

Actually I already have a prototype made up from my wire dipole. I just folded the ends at 90 deg. use zip ties at 4" and made the reflector to proper length for ll meters. I set it up using wood stakes on the ground about 2 ft up and had a perfect match, however didnt get much but a couple...

Ive taken about a year off from Dx'ing but got back in the swing of things recently, last year i was building a 5/8 ground plane antenna and I finally got it up and tuned the best i can. However i cant seem to get swr any better that 1:3 at full power ( around 250 dead key). With the radio at...

After reading Robb's write up on Hi fi audio for cb, I want to start expiermenting. I'm looking for help wiring up a dynamic omnidirectionl radio shack micto run into my base setup. I have 2950dx and an older cobra 29gtl. I'm going to try in in the cobra. My plan is to start with a preamp, I...

Im playing with a hombrew 5/8. Just put it up, lenght is about23'. I know its too long for 5/8 in 11 meters. However its a perfect swr up at 29.5 mhz, its like 2.5 in mid 11 meter band. . If its too llong for 5/8 wave how is swr better at higher freq? Is it because im aproaching .64 wave and im...

I started making parts for a new design this week. All aluminum this time, here is what i have so far. Main element will be sections of solid aluminum rod coupled together The plastic base to hold radiator still in the lathe

So antenna is up and im having some trouble with swr. At 2 watts its good 1.2:1 20 watts 1.5:1. And 80 watts and up 1.8:1 no worse than that. I have a gamma ring for a match. Im considering redoing the match with a coil. I cant get swr any better with length adjustment or the center wire tap...

im trouble shooting a rash of mysteries with my set up. im using a home-brew 5/8 wave antenna. i had swr at around 1.3:1, i have been trying to get it better and things got worse and now my rado seems to be acting up. my watt meter which i was pretty sure worked fine, say my 2950 dx is dead...

Should the wire that runs from the match ring to vertical base be calulated in the radiater length? It seems like it should be, it is not vertical though Its at least a foot long and kinda runs horizontal maybe angled down a little to bottom of radiator. Also while im at it, i only have 3...

i have a 2x sd1446 palomar amp or similar, i know the sd1446 are rated at 75 watts. my meter shows it keying up with a 2 watt carrier going in at 80, 150 , 250 watts for low med high power, is this possible? i fairly certain the meter is accurate at least at the lower readings because i know my...

I am interested in learning about audio processing. Read a bunch of threads about it here. Im wondering if the following will work I have for my mac, protools and garage band to play with some audio processing. If i use a simple vocal mic running into the computer thru the software, and out...

I whipped up a 5/8 wAve gp for 11 meters this weekend. Its an upgrade (hopefully) from my 1/2 wave verticle dipole. Its about 15-20 ft offbthe ground at the base. It is hidden in a pine tree for now with future intentions of raising it up another 15-20 ft. Its made from about 15' of 1/2" copper...

Looking to clean up and replace the power meter in a older 29 gtl. Only problem is the led lights for tx and rx are sort of pressed in, is there a trick to getting them out other than cutting their wires?
