Picked this up yesterday. I asked the guy - are you the original owner, and he said yeah I used to work there. Turns out he used to test and build the units. The frequency counter was one he built that was never released he thinks. I’m going to try to get more information from him and...

To me it it doesn’t look like the alpha antenna, it looks almost exactly like this -

I was blown away by how massive it was in the lower fiberglass section - was very rigid as well, little to no sway through the whole antenna.

Never seen one like this - super beefy. Looked more like an antenna you'd see on a military vehicle.

DX was working this morning. SE to NW and W.

OK I know the CB world has gone crazy...tonight 38 LSB was a absolute sh*t show so I went to channel 6 and it was pretty quiet and I easily made a contact and had a nice conversation.... What the heck is going on, I'm freaking out man..... :) the snozberries taste like snozzberries

Yeah I got into Santa Cruz today to 242 I think it was and then it dropped out again.

I know this is the 100th post of this kind...but these things never cease to amaze me. Original Magnum S9 bid to over $500 !!!! https://www.ebay.com/itm/224487267536?hash=item34447bdcd0:g:9XQAAOSwxvtgu8r- Granted the old ones with the 1969 finals were my favorite but what the heck is going...

Two shops I recommend right now - Superior CB - Chris Holland Troy Radio Service Just be prepared for delays with either - or any CB shop right now for that matter, everyone is seriously backed up.

I use the plastic screwdriver end of my tuning tool and very gently use it as a lever just to get it started - you don't want to create too much downward pressure though and it only takes a tiny bit of force to get them moving.

I messaged him last week and didn't hear back either. Hope he's ok.

You'd be better off just putting a cheap AM CB that has higher PEP in line to use with the DX 500

I never use squelch so perhaps the following isn't relevant but here's how I use these radios without squelch. Have someone with a S3 or greater signal give you some audio. Set volume Turn down RF gain 15-20% Turn on ANL/NB Turn tone adj up Then readjust volume so you can easily hear the...

Pretty sure that wouldn’t have the desired effect with a moxon.

The noise gate on the UR6QW and the compression are the two best features.

Skip started early on the west coast. I heard Colorado this morning and they were talking to Corpus Christi. Have to see what this afternoon has in store.

Today was the first day in a long time I had wall to wall DX, people coming through on all the channels, multiple states coast to coast + Canada and Mexico all at once. Reminded of the cycles we had before everything took a dive - hoping it means this next one is a good one! I finished testing...

Dang that sucks about the amp but glad to hear the 10" spacer trick worked.

Digital version has audio out for headphones monitoring. I use the monitor jack first than adjust using the SDR on air as what comes out of the radio will sound different due to the constraints of the radio unless you are using direct inject. Mine doesn't have the phantom power so I run the...

They are very cool - I'm currently using the digital version with a condenser microphone and foot PTT. Both versions work great but the digital version is much smaller which is nice (like 1/3 the size).
