OK, Sorry for the delay in getting back with everybody. I don't use SSB at this point so I don't feel I need it. As with anything that could change. I'm kinda Leaning toward a Magnum right now. I can't believe that no one has owned a connex. In the truckers world they seem to be very...

I plan on having it gone through. But would like a radio with toys. Does anyone know if the others mentioned. Connex Stryker and so forth have better receive typically. Thanks

Not sure. I bought it last year used, but from a cb shop that said it was top notch. Take that for what its worth. But I can set the squelch just over noise. and someone in the same parking lot will hold a conversation and I can only hear them not the others. If I put my old Uniden trucker...

Do you have experience with the 29LX would one of these have better receive. Is there a brand that has better receive as a rule. The 29LX is horrible.

I'm Looking to buy another radio. I want something with a larger meter like the Galaxy 99 or similar. Also want the talkback and the echo as I have never owned something like that. I have a Cobra 29LX which is alright but the receive is horrible compared to my 2970n2. So my question is...

Well thanks to all went with a Dave Made, found a great deal on it and remember I'm not driving it hard. It seems to be fairly clean as we tested it.. Now I know it will create some fead back but its not bleading channels or interference with radios or TV's

Dudmuck, Is that why everyone was doing the negative peak mod on the older galaxy type radios... Still great information from everyone. Thanks again

Wow, Thanks for all the good input. I never knew why some people didn't like class C amps, other then them saying they were'nt as clean so ( I just got schooled ) lol... But that is really good stuff. So What should I be Looking for. A class AB like TNT or older messenger maybe a palomar (...

I am looking to get a amp for the truck. I'm looking for something like a 1x4 or a 2x4 because I only have about 6-10w pep output from my radio. I have found the palomar elite 900, texas star 667, the newer dave made's M400, and the 3 xforce brands and fatboy. I was thinking after reading on...

Thanks for lookin

sorry about this... how do you delete

Thanks for the post Robb. I don't need it more accurate then that but I want consistant numbers. As you stated if its constant then its easy enough to figure the margine of error. My friend with the radioshack meter seems to think that the dosy/astic stuff is junk so I wanted other input...

Ok I know I have read all about the other threads about this but I wanted to get your opinions based off my requiements. I want a new swr/watt meter, I have a pdc now its very old, the one that goes to 1000w big meter with the knobs on side. I think its a 600 but could be wrong. It never...

Well thanks to everyone for all the input. I do believe that I will stay with the 102" and I do believe it is the stainless that I have.

I am thinking of buying a 2970n2 for my pick up, I will only be running the power it has. I have a tool box on my bed and the antenna mounts be hind the box on a bracket that is about 2 inchs inside the bed rail... I have always used 102 whip because I have never found another antenna...

Yah, it was the finals, Tx only driven by driver and a bad diode to realy screw me up on voltage. but the radio is back on track. thanks to all for your input.

same meter that it showed 40w be for and tested it with a buddys meter same thing. then tried a rms meter and whistled into hold tone for a few seconds it got close to same. weird? but no not a meter issue.

ya, thats how i did start but after finding wrong voltages and not getting good voltage swing on tx, along with the fact that this problem is on am and ssb. I went up to the only other common circuit which is the ic4 where it all starts according to the block diagram. but you may be right... i...

thanks moleculo for the input. any other thoughts. What puzzles me is that nothing is heating up ie: tr49,50,51,44,45,43 and 56 nothing is getting evan remotely warm so i think its deeper then that. But not sure bucause voltage is off on ic4 and several test points and all the tr's ...

thanks for your info, you were right using a d104, and shop fan on in background for ssb caused 15 dk. but can't get the power down evan test w/ 50ohm dummy load. mod used to swing hard because of npc mod but now truggles to get to 100% and no watt out on meter as stated. thanks again
