That is one of the sites I have refered to several times. I have even emailed them and received responses.

Still room to go. I tried to cram as much info as I could when I put my system in and had people tell me to go in multiples of 18' which was a full wave length I think. 18' wasn't long enough so I went 36'!! And it was heavy stuff also. LMR400 maybe? It wasn't easy to work with. I was also...

CW Morse while trying to understand your original post it is still way over my head. Are you saying regardless of coax length, whether it be 10' or 36', the antenna will still tune the same via the whip length? The SWRssssss would still tune down to the lowest point regardless of the coax...

I've got the Vector 4000 but have nothing to compare it to. I know a couple people that have them and swear by them. I like mine but it is pretty flimsy. One of the screws fell out and a section slid into another so I gotta take care of that. There is also a slight bend in one of the...

For some reason I thought you were in the Carolina's or Georgia. What's the wait now and how many you making a week?

Great question Gearhead. I couldn't get my swr down with a 3' jumper and someone told me to use a 6' jumper. That took care of the problem. I have read the 18' antenna coax is a myth though I'm sure many will agree to it. I've also learned that antenna theory and antenna reality aren't even...

It's definitely hard to understand!! But I do hope to catch on. I keep reading and reading. I only started a year ago from scratch and have learned quite a bit. Smoked a couple pills along the way in the process!!

My 29 LTD is supposed to do 12 watts. It was bought here. http://www.chargercharger.com/RadioCovers.html but built here. http://www.rrcom.com/sales/radios/29ltdse.html

Now out of curiousity how many of you open up your radios and start doing work with your soldering iron? I was nervous as hell when I opened up my Galaxy 93T and adjusted the DK on the 3 different power settings. Now I'm afraid I'm gonna try and do more and start ruining radios!!

I'm still trying to figure out what you either asked or stated? My best guess is that you want to know is there something new and better in the 11 meter radios that DOES NOT have SSB and are better (chassi) than the 29 or 78 that a good tech would like to play around with. I don't have a...

Who has done it? How high up? What kind of antenna? Any tips? Thanks

Turned "off" or have the coax disconnected which is the same as no amp.

I've seen and heard the term harmonics before. What is it? Feedback, distortion or what? Would I hear it in my "talkback"? Thanks

Thanks Doc! I'm unloading my 10 meter Galaxy which currently runs my 6 pill. I bought a Cobra 29 LTD and a Fat Boy 2 pill to use in it's place. So I thought since I went to the lower powered CB radio I would pretty much run the 2 pill continuosly. Then I was wondering if I did that if I...

You mention antenna ground. I'm in the process of replacing my Wilson 5000 mag mount with a Monkey Made that will be mag mounted. The Monkey Made coax is hard wired at the antenna but has a PL-259 at the other end which I assume is grounded the the radio and or amp. Do you ground it another...
