I bought a couple of the kits from Ebay which come from Spectrum Electronics and
they were pretty cheap I bought 2 for $50 or so. Easy to put together for use in my Cobra 2000 and Cobra 148gtl.
Hello all.
Question, I have had a PAL A1 VFO for many years and have used it with a Cobra 138 and it has worked fine. However i have a few Cobra 138's and
gave one to friend to use and go another Pal VFO A1 although this one is much newer or appears newer. It is now called a PAL VFO PLUS now
and...
I live in a HOA and before i put my antenna up a pine tree i just had it on a ten foot mast lashed to my upstairs deck. It sat like that for over 7 years and never heard a peep. Yes it could be seen from the street. But i did get them about grass growing in the cracks between the street and...
Another reason is Ebay has clanped down on CB amplifiers, so unless they are being sold as 10 meter/ham amplifiers they seem to be pulling the ads. I was also told this by a operator in the area who builds and sells on Ebay.
Just a question from you guys, I have seen many things for sale by this guy all way more than i would pay but according to what his feedback shows he appears to buy a great buyer and seller? He has perfect feedback as a buyer and as a seller?
How is this possible?
Thank all of you for the responses! I was looking to add on to what i had but at this point you have all given me many choices. Now to see if i can figure a safe straight way to connect to what i already have. You all are awesome.
Hello
Does anyone know anyone that has for sale good old 10 foot antenna masts?
I have checked all over the local Seattle WA. area and it seems nobody sells them?
I can find 5 footers and they are crazy expensive but with he demise of Radio Shack it seems
that hey are now just gone, So i am...
Im not a expert but seeing blue does not mean he tube is bad, it is not uncommon and they can still be good. But i do not see a 8905 in my tube data sheets?
The 8950 tubes are rated at 33 watts a pop and the 6lb6 tubes are rated at 30 each.
I have converted a few Palomar Skippers and the difference between the two is not noticeable at all.
I have read this before about bad is bad and good maybe ok. So does that really mean if i test say 4 tubes and 3 show 95% and 1 shows 70% then i should assume them to be at least close to the same? Everything i have read says they should be closely matched based testing score then my...
Hello all!
As the title says im not sure where to post this but here goes. I have a question about testing vacuum tubes? SO a 6LQ6 tube normally
seems to come in boxes labeled a 6LQ6/6MJ6/6JE6C, Now i have a bunch of these but when i go to test them what tube data do i test
under? All 3 of these...
Th only thing i could find was on CBtricks and that was basically useless.
Hopefully some of the old-time techs around here can help you out as i looked
all around the web and found nothing. Good luck to you.
Ok so to make sure i understand what your saying, I have my astroplane mounted on a 20 foot mast and it will be mounted so that he hoop will be a few feet above the top of the tree. So the plan should be to mount the CMC 9 feet or more down from the bottom of the hoop. From CMC down the 100feet...
