Got the Killer Bee yesterday evening. Some how USPS had managed to crush one corner of the package about five inches deep. No problem though because it was packed very good. Killer Bee was still in very good condition. Thanks

Regarding question #2 and the 811H. The designer of the amp says to use three 572B tubes in the 811H. I forget which hole he said to leave empty. Tom was involved in a thread on Contesting.com, but I can't find the thread right now, and that's where I read about using three 572B tubes in the...

GateKeeper posted the video hours ago, and said yes it's is true that Texas Star has been sold, and the doors will stay open.

I like it. It's sparkling! I just went back to the mid 70's, and remember my dad talking on his CB radio. He sure could get the ladies wound up. RIP Pops.

I know the feeling. Anyway, you never responded to my private message, so we can get a deal done. Let me either way if you are pulling out.

Sent you a message.

Talked to him a few times at his shop. I guess, Ed, his son, will close up shop now, but I hope not. They have had a sign up at the shop that they would be closing in the future. I know a lot of CB guys and gals will miss him very much. Thanks for letting us know.

Tuning system confused me at first, but then the light bulb came on. Lots of tuning options. https://www.sirioantenne.it/en/products/hf/monsoon

My 891 was jumping plus .70 in frequency when changing modes too. Setting 07-11 to FREQ fixed it. Thanks a bunch.

VQ3 will work good at 12 foot above the ground. It's going to be less noisy than the four element. Depending upon the area you live in, the receiver noise could be a tremendous difference. I just don't like the way they are assembled. The V shape is basically eyeballing it, and tightening...

I bought the 60 amp model years ago to power a two pill 2879 and Lincoln 2+ radio. Bad hum on transmit. Bought a Megawatt 40 amp, and it had no problem with the amp and radio. Beware of the PowerMax drop shippers. They won't refund money on a faulty supply. Ended up arguing with PowerMax...

I have only heard 1111 guy when conditions were good for Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas from here in NC. I don't hear Cali stations most of time when I have good conditions from the mentioned above states. My beam and conditions have told me the annoyance is coming from one of above three...

I hear the two NY stations door knobbing every now and then spazzing out 27.385. It is definitely irritating.

I have heard him talk a few times, and he definitely had a light Hispanic accent.

If the economy keeps going the way it has been the last few years, in two more years you could ask $7,500!

I had the Cobra 450 XL back years ago. It had Motorola 454 transistors. From the previous link that was posted, it looked the same on the outside and inside. I bought it to flip fast, but now I know that was a mistake. A deputy sheriff in VA now owns that beauty!

Overall, conditions have been down lately for me over the previous weeks/months. But I have made some first time contacts too. Today made contact with division 138, Vatican City State, that I have been trying to get for a while. Had contact with division 226, Malawi, in Africa over the...

1.7 won't even trigger the factory default setting of 2.0 SWR alert on the export radios, so yes I think you should be just fine. Good luck with the Elkin because they are fine amps.

If you got the input to adjust with the tuner in the picture, then don't touch the other ones especially if you don't know what they are for. I know at least one of them is for bias tune, and I have no idea what all the others do.

You tuned it with amp on yes? There are other tuners in there. My six tube had six or seven of the tuners that is shown in the picture. The man that built and designed the Elkin amps told me himself to use six foot jumpers. I was at Ray's shop in Elkin, NC to pick up my four tube 12DQ6B amp...
