I think for the size and setup you are using maybe, but us low power "mud ducks" down in the weeds the ones we use are just fine.

The only problem with using it is the antenna system I plan to use at the moment is only good for 150 watts. Using a tuned 6666 and the fatboy would probably be more than the antenna can handle. Now if I stick with my bone stock McKinley and turn the tx power down the Larsen Nmo27 would probably...

Damn Skippy you can. Out of all the radios I've ever owned only one has been tuned. Im not the type that goes out and buys a radio just because. If the radio worked I left it alone. The one that got tuned was part of a package deal. Traded some rims and tires for the radio work and a 2pil...

So if I'm not worried about getting HD audio and splattering other channels with noise I should just consider asking for a peak and tune. I just want simple clean audio with the radio working properly. Like it's been said power = heat and I don't need that. Might just pick up the radio and try...

So what is the benefit of switching the caps in a brand new radio? Like this guy did in this new 6666

Been looking at them since you recommended them. Seems like a better alternative to the stryker. Now here is my noob question, shouldn't a radio be gtg right out of the box? What benefit would I see having it peaked and tuned? I've seen a few videos where caps have been swapped out. Other...

I know that and mentioned that is the only thing I know what is being added other than the wire. I'm sure some of it is labor but damn......320 business days later my radio will ship?

So just looking around the net and youtube I ran into LessComm and his work. Now I know I've been focusing on the Stryker 955 but its one of the more popular multiband radios right now, from what I keep seeing. If you go to his online store he has two different setups for the 955 that have an...

But my local hole in the wall does sell them. If you didn't look up "cb shop near me" you would not know the little shop is in the TA Truck stop. I might have to venture back over there and see what he has. It's been probably 10 years since I was last in there and did a trade for some radio work...

Well for right now, just so I have something to use I've got a Wilson 1000 mag mount on a Larsen 3rd brake light bracket. Im borrowing the bracket from a budy who no longer needed it. Since I've got an Alumiduty no regular mag mounts for me. Ive got a Breedlove puck and a Larsen Nmo27 thats...

So in my quest to understand this world of CB and all of its glory I have stumbled into what I feel is a black hole of opinion based tuning and modification of radios. So if you watch the video Mike put out and how he goes about fixing and properly tuning radios seems pretty straight forward. I...

Here is another update on his installation. Now its bonding and grounding the vehicle and how he does it. Remember folks this is his style of doing it. Im sure there are other ways but this is how he likes to do it. He explains his reasoning and what he has found to work for him.

So watching this thread, watching other CB related YT videos, I have come to the understanding that I have truly ventured into a hobby that will continue to mystify me. My quest to have an adequate operating radio, maybe with a little power, has led to more confusion than anything. Will I go...

I'll keep you updated on the install. I figured you would find some use out of the video considering that topic is all that you and I have talked about. I just need to bite the bullet and drill my hole and get mine installed.

Hey Slowmover, Take a look at this. I think the explains visually everything you have said.
