    My Friend and DX Legend: Richie Radio 127 aka Pistolgrip NY

    I LUV NY. If you can't find it there it doesn't exist. This guys got some reputation. Does he actually do mods and repairs? If so are they really done out of a van?

    WHAT'S GOING ON WHEN IT COMES TO HIFI CB?

    I hear quite a few stations on Channel 28 AM with setups that sound like they're operating an AM radio station. Many are aloof when asked what they're running and others are straight up. There's so many different descriptions of what they're using I was just wondering if somebody can simplify it...

    INTERMITTENT RECEIVE

    https://plus.google.com It wasn't the pl 259 at the end of my LMR 400. The double male connector that attaches my mfjj 915 RF choke to the antenna was one turn loose. I'm assuming that one turn left the center pin not making good contact with the antennas PL 239. I think it was like that for...

    INTERMITTENT RECEIVE

    Between the choke and antenna I went with a double ended conetor (no coax) so I'm gonna replace the pl 259 at the coax antenna connection. The coax is lmr 400. Not the ultra flex. The coax is quite heavy and, maybe the heavy wind and weight of the coax itself looosened the 259. That would...

    Signals also drop then jump back up to where they should be. This happens ever few seconds in adverse weather.

    INTERMITTENT RECEIVE

    The last couple of weeks I've noticed the receive on my Uniden Madison acting peculiar. It's fine for one moment then it makes a kind of swishing sound as the needle on the meter drops down around 2 s units and as a result the receive gets quiet. I noticed this happens when it's windy outside...

    DSP SPEAKER ON CB TRANSCEIVER

    After a year of making dx contacts and the twice a week local rag chew, I find myself enjoying listening more then communicating. I use a uniden Madison on SSB and an fs 2340 on AM. The Sonar actually recives very nice for a CB radio. The Madison also receives nicely but not as good as the fs...

    Uniden Washington help

    My (uniden) Washington and Madison both make that poping sound when changing channels and mode. It comes through the speaker. I don't think this is an issue. I think it's the way these rigs operate. I could be wrong. I'm hoping others weigh in as I'm curious if that happens to all the madisons...

    What amp?

    Do all amateur amplifiers have a band selector switch? although I've only seen mono band amplifiers made for VHF/2 meters and such I thought there might be or have Ben mono band HFand or UHF amplifiers. Just curious. 73

    president madison vs uniden madison

    I've never heard or talked on the Madison with the 858 but my uniden 8719 i I've never heard or talked on the Madison with the 858 in it, but I can say that my uniden Madison 8719 hears very nicely for a stock CB radid(AM/SSB). When I say stock the audio and receive sections have never been...
