right now I have a Cobra 148 GTL hooked up to a Wilson 1000 Ant. in my Truck(yes TRUCK,truck) 8) . not to long ago I had a Friend of mine @ work introduce me to a fellow in the chicago area; goes by the handle SCREAMING EAGLE or 108; who got to work on my radio. {FLASHBACK} I had listen to his radio; Also a 148 GTL set up with what looked like a Wilson 1000 & an extra punch added to it(if u know what i mean . His radio sounded great even from 15-17 miles out. {FLASHFORWARD} So I figured he new what he was doing. After everything was said & done my radio now sounds clear as a whistle & swings from what he told me up to 40watts . Just a couple of days ago I spotted a GALAXY 250 going for $80.00 on this forum. Had to jump on it
Now Here's the questions I have:
1) I keep seeing in other discussions that in order for this to work I have to have a max DK of 1/2 sometimes 3/4WATTs; But how can I test to see if I'm DKing that amount? :?: I know that on my built in SWR meter I'm begging it @ about the + sign near the +30db.
2) Am I interpreting it Right (DK means Pressing my mike button with the switch set to S/RF and not creating any modulation AKA talking into mike?
3) and most important; If my DK WATTS are to HIGH/LOW how & what must I do to turn it UP/Down.
I just Pray I did not shoot myself in the foot by buying that AMP.
