My Grant II is about 300hz low on the 10 meter band. In other words, if I am on 28.320, I am transmitting on 28.290. The receive seemed to off the same amount. for example, if the other operator transmitting on 28.320, I would have to clarify up about 300. Can this by easily adjusted for under...

I am able to get into 10 meter, but would like to know if it is possible to change the freq by 5 mhz... Right now I am able to go 28.315, 28.325, 28.335 etc.. How can I get 28.320?

Can DTMF codes be sent on the TXone TD-Q8A to access repeater functions? Thanks, Rick

Thanks for the replies. Definitely insightful. Is there a such a thing as "Do it all" radio. I was also looking at the Kenwood TS-480, but now we are talking $$$.. It looks like it would be able to Rx and Tx on any freq. I have a lot to learn, but was looking for something I could buy one...

What is the general consensus on the Ranger RCI-69FFB4? On paper it looks like a hell of a radio. It is a AM/FM/SSB and can cover three bands, 10m/11m/and 12m. I understand they have quite using the Toshiba transistors and now they are coming with Chinese equivalent transistors. It is >$600.00...

Is there a way to get talkback on a grant II? It does not have a PA jack, so an external speaker with talkback will not work. Are there any other options? Also, did not realize it did not have echo...etc.. I just thought that stuff was standard features these days. So can a Xtreme 2018 mic be...

Well, I live in the land of no cb techs..lol

Am update my situation. Problem I am trying to solve: Post Linear SWR with linear off = 1.2 Post linear SWR with linear on = >3+ in the red. I have changed from a wilson 1000 magnetic mount to a breadlove permanent roof mount. Added 1" braided ground straps from batteries to both front...

Well I hope to put the antenna issue in the rear view. I ordered a sirio 5000 and a perm. roof mount. Plan to use some LMR-400 ultraflex. If this don't put an end to any antenna issues, I don't know what will...lol

Thanks. I am actually looking for a good permanent roof mount. Although, it seems everyone points to the wilson 5000 roof mount.. but I am a little hesitant at this point to go with another Wilson product. Seeing that you are saying the magmount is not suitable for that power range, yet...

How do I determine? For what it is worth, it is a brand new wilson 1000 mag mount.

What does this indicate?

With that bit of knowledge, I guess I would need a sweet 16 to be able to drive with the RFX-75....

Well I will report back that I received a lot of misinformation about what a TS DX500v takes to drive. after reading what everyone here was saying. I went out and put a brand new out of the box cobra 29 classic in, and it will DK just over a 100 and pep at about 470 - 480. However the SWR...

Just to be clear, I am not arguing with any of you about over driving. I am just trying to learn. What does not make sense to me is why would using the variable function change anything. I am still putting the same wattage into the amp? Unless using the variable actually changes the amount...

I have gotten all sorts of conflicting information about appropriate drive levels for the DX500v. But most have said the RFX-75 is perfect with 15w DK. I was told since it is a straight 4 pill, it does require a drive, a stock 4w radio would barely get 100-150w pep out of it, which sort of...

The install details: Cobra 29 classic with RFX-75 professionally installed, set to DK 15w and pep 80w. The radio is running the upgraded power chord straight to battery with an additional ground wire from mount to metal dash frame. Mic is a 636l. Texas Star DX500v with upgraded power cables...
