    WANTED: HR2600 Mic

    I need a mic that will work with President HR2600. Stock preferred aftermarket OK, as long as it's tested good and you know it will work with this radio. Thanks, John.

    W58 base antenna.

    Well we got it up in the air today. Bottom is around 30' from the ground. But I'm having as much trouble tuning this one as the other smaller antennas. I was hoping getting it up above where the others were would help. I have a 30' mast up against the house where I was trying to get the others...

    W58 base antenna.

    Wow it showed up in the mail today. Less than 48 hours after I ordered it. That's pretty cool. Just have to decide where and how to put it up.

    Astatic D-104

    This is the D-104 that came in the big package deal. It has a 9 volt batterry in the base. Is it possible to narrow down the radios it could be wired for from this pic?

    Well it may be that to a degree, but apparently the guy is moving to a smaller place and wants to get rid of a bunch of stuff, so lucky me! <More audio><More audio><More audio>

    W58 base antenna.

    I just got off the phone with Palco. The W58 should be here by Tuesday. Can I just hook it up and tune for SWR and go with it? Do I need to get a "tuner"? Build a choke coil?

    Check this out. Hooked up the President and the display said hr2510 turned it to am 26.965 and talked to my son on the handheld on channel 1. Opened it up to have a peek, turns out it has a Switchchip already installed. Putting out 25 on AM and swinging 45 SSB. Can't wait till I get my base...

    I've decided to order the W58. Is Palco Electronics a good place to order from?

    W58 base antenna.

    Thanks for the info. The car antennas I tried on the roof (16'-18' off the ground). All work fine on the Jeep Cherokee attached to a mag mount with little or no tuning. With them on the roof I can't get my SWR under 3. I attempted to make a groundplane from three 8-1/2' wires. No better...

    W58 base antenna.

    Thanks for the info. Booty, you mean this? new base antenna by sirio-H&Y Electronics That'd be over $200 bucks shipped. A little steep for me right now, (unemployed) and I don't know if I'll be interested in HAM. I hardly know anything about cb yet. I understand though, pay now and not...

    Well I'm having trouble getting my base station set up. But I did try the Magnum S9 in the Jeep today. It needs a new internal speaker but I plugged an external into it and it sounds good. Swings to 20 RMS on the Dosy (45 or so on the radio's meter) so I set the dead key at 4.5-5 with the...

    W58 base antenna.

    Well I just came across a deal on some cool used radios, (http://www.worldwidedx.com/cb-band-cb-radios/154401-score.html ) and I'm having trouble getting a base antenna setup. Tried using the 102" whip and the Predator 10k that came with the radios but can't get the SWR down enough. I don't...

    Thanks, yeah it's pretty cool. Not even just the radios. All the meters and power supplies and stuff. Yesterday I only had the 980SSB and the Midland handheld my boy likes to play with. Now it's like we have a housefull of stuff to play with.

    Still going through the another box of mikes and cords and stuff. There's even a D-104 in there that didn't make it in the pic, but I don't remember what radio he said it was wired for.

    So that can go I guess. I'll hook up the Superstar in my son's room. He's a little guy and is impressed by the big one with all the buttons. Might put the Magnum S9 in the Jeep.
