I had almost forgot. I was having troubles with my inline Watt Meter not reading correctly. I am too retro at times. Still using an old Radio Shack inline. I put an ugly balum at the feed point on my antenna and another at the point that the coax enters my home and my inline base and...

Bear with me on this. You may have already checked it. I had this happen to me. It very similar to what you describe. My ex-wife used a cheap multi outlet put strip with USB ports. When she plugged in the charging cable for her Iphone it created a 5 S unit noise floor. Pull out the charger...

Thanks for all the replies gentleman. Any time I answer a question, I always put I am not an electronics technician. The first time I met Bob at Bob's CB it fascinated me how quick he can say. Its the cap, "right here," and replace it then the radio works. Other shops will say, it dead- I...

My friends, this is just a curiosity question. I use my PC mainly for home office work and web browsing. My main PC is an i5 Core X4 3.0 GHz with 16 GB RAM, Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM hard drive, its from 2016. It can dual boot to Windows 11 and Linux Mint. I am thinking about upgrading to...

I miss the days of having time to work with the stuff in the shop. This weekend I figured out how to force install Windows 11 on a Windows 10 PC that Windows 11 diagnostic saying is non compatible. That was the fun recently. I still have the stacks of PC and PC parts in boxes. I would drive...

Irony, that was an episode of the Six Million Dollar Man. Called, "the Death Probe" Steve Austin had to destroy it. The Venus probe crash landed in Wyoming, but operated as it it was on Venus. Soviet Spies had a depleted Uranium shoulder fired rocket to destroy it.

Best advice is set the tune to 3 1/2- 4 watts DK swing to whatever. Good antenna system. Add the Pro Comm power mic if you like the power mics. Enjoy the radio. You will sound clear and finer than all the over modulated fans on the air. You have a keeper. Family memories are priceless. I...

It will look great under the dash of a 1967 Buick LeSabre. Put the big whip on the bumper. If I remember correctly Kraco was a big name at K-Marts.

I figure I should mention this. A while back I had a 1994 Subaru Forester, the one that still looked boxy. It was a though decision, but one of the better ones related to CB that I had made over the years. Sparky talked me into this approach. Sparky sent me the genuine, "Skythumper" ball...

I think you will find your solution between Mr. redbeast and Mr Flyboy50 recommendations. A Breedlove ball mount with a quick disconnect for a taller top loaded antenna or a Tram Mag Mount will do you well. Myself, I actually do believe the smaller Tram mag mount does better than my K30 or...

Keep it, take the internals out and use the housing and controls for a sleeper project, conversation piece.

Don't second guess yourself about the arguing, you mostly thought like I would. With that mic in your hand you temporarily forgot about all the illogical BS going on around us today and you were enjoying the time using the radio that you setup and tuned with your skill and time. You were...

I am sure everyone can provide a better explanation than me. When I hook up my amp, KL 503HD, the harmonics on the output side are bad. An old Drake Low Pass filter helped a lot. I am sure its just a patch on a poorly set up amp, but it seems to make a huge difference. If I am understanding...

Glad you are doing. Sounds like God has a purpose for you. I am sure his grace will continue to look after you and your family. Let us all know on how the argument with the local drunk on the radio goes.

Old enough to know the CB in the General Lee was a Cobra 78X- That and piles of other useless knowledge for today. Still waiting on President Trump to write an EO to bring back 8-Track tapes.

You made me laugh with the tech vs. engineer titles, brings back memories, back when i set out to do a better job than the other guy. Way back when I still had may tax license for my computer business- the name was Angel Technology Computing Services. Now, I will date the business, I picked...

I would drive out of the way to hit a Western Sizzler, we used to have multiple Golden Corals in the area. Now down to one. I think there is still a Western Sizzler of the Weston Exit I-79 South, in WV.

Awesome work.

It just struck me this weekend that the number of qualified gunsmiths are about just as rare as qualified CB Radio techs. I came into IVER JOHNSON revolver that still read IVER JOHNSON FIREARMS and CYCLE WORKS; an Old 38 S&W top break. Anyway, I figured at 120 years old and probably not shot...

Never had and work completed by Q5. I had spoke to the shop on the tele. My understanding is the he does not do unnecessary work and does not want to sell you the Super, Mega, Jimmy jerk Job, Quantum Tune 2025, or whatever they call it this month. He will tune for clean performance. I had...
