For those of you who own one of these, where do you set your RF Power when not using an amp? (1/2, 3/4, Full?) And what are the output readings at that setting? (Dead key and PEP). Thanks!

I currently don’t have a SSB radio. Thinking about getting one. As I mentioned in another thread, the last Bearcat 980 I had came with a bad display. Am kind of reluctant to get another one. What is the best alternative?

1. Cobra not following up their 29LX model with a SSB version. 2. Uniden apparently not correcting the flaw in the display of their Bearcat 980 model. (The 880 might have the same problem, I don’t know). There are far too many complaints about the 980 displays failing after just a year or less...

Somewhere I heard or saw that Kenwood is finally going to come out with a radio to compete with the Icom 7300 and the Yaesu FTDX10 and FT-710 models. All they have now is their 990S, 890S and the 590SG which has been around forever. Does anyone have any information on this? If Kenwood did...

Do anyone have first hand experience with both radios? If so, which do you prefer and why? Thanks! Jim

1. Does anyone have experience with this antenna? if so, what are your thoughts? 2. This antenna appears to be different from the usual Chameleon and Alpha Antenna offerings in that this one is said to be a shunt fed antenna (through the use of the dual copper ground rods). I’m not sure exactly...

Took down my Gainmaster 1/2 Wave. Worked great but stuck out like a sore thumb in a neighborhood of no antennas. Nope, no HOA here, was done by choice. Anyway, am back to an old favorite. Using a 4’ Firestik this time rather than 102” whip. Single wire radial is the same as before—104”. With...

https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/random-acts-of-kindness-wwdx-style.229631/ In the spirit of the above 5-year-old thread which never got off the ground and eventually derailed, I have a Samlex 30-amp power supply, MFJ Model 849 SWR meter and a Cobra external speaker I’ll give to someone who...

Saw one of these on Walcott’s website a while back and liked the look. Have always wanted a CB I could easily turn the power down on. Finally bought one. And love it! So much so, my Bearcat 980 now resides in the home of a friend. Hears great, talks great, and the bright white meter is easy to...

I love the look of these. Appears to be cherry wood. Am guessing it would work with a Cobra 148 as well. Too bad it is priced so high. ☹️ https://www.4statetrucks.com/electronics/semi-truck-wood-cb-case-cobra-uniden-grant_10067.asp

When I am feeling claustrophobic (or wanting 40 channels), I put my big Browning Mark III in the closet and go with my Uniden Bearcat 980. I love these radios and after much experimentation found this inexpensive power mic to be the best match for it, giving loud, crystal clear audio. Mine has...

Just discovered the youtube channel belonging to WWDX member Greg T (Jazz Singer). Was floored by his voice and his renditions of so many of my favorite songs. Here’s just one example of his style and amazing voice. and a link to his channel https://www.youtube.com/@TheLonesometoad Do...

This one was simple. 103” aluminum vertical and four 4’ Francis mobile antennas. The radial mount is a hub from an Antron 99 ground plane kit. SWR is 1:1 on channels 1 and 40 and nearly flat on 20. The red wire is to insure a good electrical connection between the antenna mount and the radial...

My SWR has been 1.1 for as long as I've had this antenna up. (Measured with amp on). Three days ago this began happening: In the mornings when I first turn the equipment on, SWR is 1.5. As the day goes on, it slowly lowers until early evening when it is back to 1.1. Equipment is a Royce 619...

This could be posted in both the CB and Ham forums. Flipped a coin. Scenario: Coax is used to feed a balanced antenna such as a dipole and CMC is created and headed to the shack. Question: If the coax run is a relatively long one (100’ or more) and the coax is lying on the ground the whole...

Which direction is the cooling fan supposed to blow? How does one change the scope mode from Center to Fix and vice versa? Thanks!
