magnum My experience, and I've been in quite a few of these, is just the opposite. The EKL parts seem to always give more wattage than the 520's. I only use them in the magnum radios, because then I know what I'm getting. The 520's have about 6-8 different manufacturers and aren't all the...

Magnum s-9 spare parts I hadn't seen this post until now. Been really busy last several months. But I would tell you to contact RF Limited directly for everything you need or at least mentioned so far. Ask for Sam Lewis, at 1-877-624-6869.

What Swich Kit said, is the BEST ADVICE YOU COULD HOPE FOR!! The radio can't be too far gone for Chris to fix it! And it probably won't cost much beyond shipping. Best advice I've every read!!! As to trading it, you'll be sorry.

downloads I tried to download these and can't find them. Page says they are deleated or unavailable. Could I get you to repost? Thanks, in advance. marven

Bills 2 way I've bought from him, and all went well. I understand he is down to selling off ,stock on hand, because of health. He was in the business a long time and probably still has more stock than most. He also has HR 2510 chipswitches and other things you won't buy anywhere else...

cobra 148 I've been getting mine from Mouser for .60 cents each. marven P.S. The ones I experiment with, that is. :shock:

148 mods I've been doing these in my shop for almost 2 years now. Old or new same deal, no changes. I've not had any problems as long as I absolutely soldered everything well. Also must think through the circuits and know which side of what we are using. The biggest problems I've had...

cobra 29 While I'm at it, I'd like to suggest a couple of books to you. Since you said you preferred the theory and then the experiments. Those books would be "The screwdrivers experts guide" and "Understanding and repairing CB radios for the professional technician" by Lou Franklin...

Swing? You got it. :idea: Swing is what the meter does ( in the radio or on the bench meter) when you go from keyed up ( carrier) to talking (modulated), with an AM signal. It can be a bit different with other modes of operation. There are other more exacting explainations. But for all...

Best antenna Masterchief; I think I've had enough. Now I'm a liar. (But, you don't call anyone names.) All I ever wanted to do was have a diologe (sp) on inverted V's and trimount antennas. Especially raised vertically and stacked. However, when the subject is even...

Best antenna Audioshockwav; Yes, I am a new dealer for Gismotchy. I'm still learning alot about them. The more I play with them, the better I like them. I really wasn't wanting to turn this into an advertisement; I just spent alot of time with mine recently. I also think that...

best antenna I don't think they are expensive. Compare the price of others, and factor in cost of building materials. Very competative, actually cheaper than most comparable beams. And built better!! marven :shock:

best antenna I quess that is all in who you are defining as a ham antenna manufacturer. Gismotchy makes ham band antennas. marven :shock:

best antenna I can't speak for the Jogun, but the 3 element Gizmotchy only weighs in at 12 lbs. I believe my 5 element is only 20 lbs. marven :D

best antenna Masterchief: FYI; the Hams are using the Gizmotchy antennas. There are 1000's of us using them. Gizmotchy is constantly working on another band antenna, or improving a current one. marven :roll:
