I'm a new CB'er but I understand that using an amp with your CB is not permitted in the states. Of course, there are many laws on the books that are not enforced and many that are outdated and many others that are simply no longer enforced (like spitting on the sidewalks).
Soooooo, use you an...
That was some good stuff. Thanks!
I'm in Northern California near the Redding area. Interstate 5 is the main artery. Sometimes I hear some yacking on channel 17, but it seems unless I start jabbering dudes don't yack.
After much thought I came up with my handle: Shower Liner
A shower liner gets dingie kinda fast, but you still tolerate it. It's not a necessity, but it's sorta nice to have. You don't really wanna touch it, but you usually appreciate you have it. I am... Shower Liner. Come on.
No, didn't try either of those things.
Haha! Big, baggy basketball shorts. I tried to take the pic so I couldn't be seen in a reflection but it was impossible no matter the angle. Oh well. :-)
The fabricator shop would appreciate hearing that compliment. Thanks.
Right, and that is quite a...
Here's a couple pics of the bracket I had fabricated and then installed my antenna on, errrrr upon. I had the fabricator drill 2 extra holes so I can mount extra lights in the future. I sprayed it silver, but not the areas that make contact.
What are "dxers"? And "skipshooters"?
And I believe you are correct about channels 17 and 19. Just spoke to the local CB shop this morning and that's what they told me.
I appreciate your advice, friend. I'm not ignoring your words.
I hear ya! And I appreciate your advice.
Yeah, the 102" whip is a bit too hillbilly for me at this point. We'll see what the future holds. :-)
LOVE it!
I don't doubt what you're saying, friend. For me it's a compromise. I don't want a big, hick antenna that would probably get fantastic send/receive. I'm settling for something that looks better on my truck and works fine, at least in my own opinion. Maybe the day will come when I'm...
Took my truck to the local CB shop this morning and as it turns out my current antenna, antenna placement, etc is fine. Two hours of troubleshooting revealed the culprit was the 90 degree connector on the back of the CB. It was faulty. I had bought the cheapest one possible off eBay - that was a...
My antenna is tunable. But I'm hearing ZILCH except static. Perhaps I don't know how to adjust my radio? Maybe I should read the manual. (OK, found Uniden PRO520 XL manual online just now and read it.)
