Had this amp for couple years worked great. Then one day I went to use it and all the lights went out and power dropped to nothing. I checked coax ,fuses, connections.is this worth fixing

I agree and this is how I tune .mine I really don't think ham ops are gonna tear down there tower to change out coax to a magical length to use 11 meters .lol

Glad all is well..good power supply

Yes definitely !! But just for kicks I have talked base to mobile about 10 miles with 1 watt..just saying

I'm in P.a about 1hr or so from Akron Ohio . If love try fm.

I use 1 watt or less on fm.to keep everything at or near room temp.seems to be ok

Rg400 is decent coax . I've used as much as18 feet on my quad mag mount. For jumpers should be fine .check the wattage rating on the coax . And never use 1 foot jumpers way too short ..I recommend 6 foot or 9 foot.i 've seen high defect going back to the radio with shorter than 6 foot jumpers

Its been a while since I been on here. But I have returned

After having my older friends had one of course I wanted one. I got my chance in1993. Stated with a cobra 19 ultra and cheap antennspa.my first base station came in 1996 I had a 40ch. C ourrier. And a99.thru.the years many different setups

Good choice..I have one since 2009 at 2_different locations .there decent for the money

Having owned the Imax and switching to a sirio 2016 . I'll take the aluminum any day over the fiberglass ..mainly cause the receive seems quiter .I never owned the maco but I would think results would be similar.also those fiberglass do have great swrs ,but so do dummyloads

You be far better to buy a rm kl203 amp

I've ran mine both ways

I too have a 2950DX like yours . They work very good .superior cb is a great choice to send it to..But if hook it up and use it .see how it does

I have a alinco DX 10 and yes the ssb receive !eaves a lot to be desired. And now the display is out
