    Yet another candidate for the "real" Max-Mod type number?

    OR… Or instead of listening to the sand Jawa, we could listen to someone who truly knows. We could listen to a guy that will not only tell us the truth but show us the data, you know, those that know it show it? I shall leave this here…

    Palomar Electronics Max-Mod. Spoiler alert!

    I believe someone put a video out awhile back saying the “max mod” wasn’t any better than the TIP36c or even the Toshiba part. Well, the Toshiba part was marginally better, that’s what I think he actually said. But between the 3 there was really no performance gain at all. You got some guys...

    galaxy "gnf"

    I have to agree with you, not throwing gas on a fire though. The flame thrower that I saw, that I had here, was pretty far from throwing flames. Now if clear hot glue on every single connector makes one throw flames, I'll be right back, gotta go to Walmart. I'll also agree about the GNF...

    Real CB Radios are side mic

    The thing about the frequency counter mentioned on page one, not enough digits, I tend to agree with this but… as long as you tune them in does it really matter? I mean, is there a valid argument for having another 2 digits? Just asking. You have my attention…. go on… continue…

    are new A99's all a pos?

    Y’all are doing it all wrong. Sand and coat the antenna in automotive fiberglass resin. Sand it again, apply second coat. Use heat shrink the appropriate size. And lastly, and I can’t believe you guys don’t do this, give the dang antenna a bottle of waterbabies… duh.

    Cobra 148 GTL mod

    For 8v, since at one time there was an issue with guys ruining the factory regulator, wouldn’t building your own be a wise idea? I got a headache from reading this thread and it made me rethink my own 148, think I’ll build a dedicated 8v source.

    Best base antenna for rental house

    A99 or other vertical on a pole or in a tree. A dipole maybe? Maybe one of those fancy PVC dipoles that you can rotate, for the lulz ya know?

    Another from Ranger RCI-X9

    They, "they", claim Ford has lot full of new trucks just sitting because of a shortage of some chip. I don't really buy all that but whatever... whoever is dragging their tail over there at Ranger....

    38LSB Air Raid

    It's annoying, so annoying it's almost funny. I guess that guy gets even more bored than I do sometimes...

    Had it.

    I believe Lou posted requesting a MARS mod for an IC-718. Video was posted. Sp5it I believe posted questioning the mumbling in the video. Lou thought 5 was referring to his question.

    38LSB Air Raid

    Does anyone else hear the idjit with the air raid siren on 38LSB? I hear this person usually on Sunday mornings, such as today. 3 hours just about, air raid siren.

    are new A99's all a pos?

    Replacing the top section with a cut-down 102” whip, that is what I was referring to. Ice will break that tiny fiberglass end section, had it happen before so I replaced it with a cut down 102. And to go against the grain here, I did achieve a “correct” SWR by trimming that tip. However, my...

    Review of Yesterday's Mod

    Martian left me hanging like a cheap Salvation Army coat. Wonder where he is? You just can’t find good trolls anymore, and I’m from the land of trolls. I’m from Anonymous and I’m here to help.

    are new A99's all a pos?

    Maybe so. If that’s the case, how hard is it gonna be to convince where you got it and get them to swap it out?

    are new A99's all a pos?

    Short A99, 102” whip, solved problem. Just trim the whip down until you get where you want to be. I replaced the end section of my A99 with a trimmed down 102 and it works perfect.
