Love the quote, I say I can do anything a 20 year old can it just might take me a little longer LOL! It sounds great as is. I just like to play with stuff and read a post where a guy tried it worked and also I figured if studios use them in a studio why not in a vehicle. I did have to turn the...

I bought one and it works fine except on mine the up channel button works and the down does not. Good sounding mic. I have just recently tried supergluing a thick fat microphone windscreen that I cut into a square, and the sound difference is like night and day. Sounds really good and no...

One guy posted in a forum post that i read that his coil actually filled up with water but he didn't know how. Another post where they were doing a review said that possibly if you have to cut your whip to adjust the monkey made antenna that it's a tapered whip and I guess if it's small enough...

Well they're all good antennas but like I said and everybody else has reported and tested, the shorter it is the less you're going to get out and receive. Don't really like the monkey made version I think they make flat coils which is what I read is incorrect. Also have heard about the water...

If I remember right its 88 inches. The 17 inch is around 78 in. The 9 is around 76 in. I am using LMR400UF Coax, 2 lengths 15ftish each as I can't remember exactly as I used the velocity factor calculator for Channel 20.

Yes it is. Heres the 27...

Yeah they all bs a bit but those antennas have the thickest winding wire than all the others with their 4ft and longer. Never had an issue with the new ones and also had one of the originals from back in the 90s.

I did try the meter after the amp with a 4in jumper of the same size cable I had lmr-400 UF and that was awhile ago I don't remember the exact numbers but they were almost as low or at least the same as at the radio and I remember being completely satisfied cuz I never checked it again although...

I did do it before after the amp and there wasn't much difference at all from the reading at the radio. I'd ike to know which is best or second best as I can't do it at the antenna, which I heard is the best? lol. Ill try it again though. Still would like to know which is correct. I have seen...

From what I have read over the years the swr meter should be at 3 different places, lol. I have read at the radio to read whats happening back to it, after an amplfier, and the last at the end of the coax by the antenna itself. I have the radio and 15.2ft of LMR400UF coax going to an amp and...

It makes a funny pfff sound when i talk and friends have noticed it " muffly" sounding at times. Its weird they have the regular area to talk but the mic hole is below that. If i talk sideways in front if mic hole i get the sound like im blowing a burst of wind into it. If i talk in the regular...

Would a Uniden BC646 6-Pin Microphone fit?

When looking for 11 meters is this also considered a Mars mod on these?

Truthfully just looking for a decent radio that has 11 Meters instead of using ones like Strykers, etc.. I had another post up about anothe radio and someone told me to find a mobile ham rig used for around 3/400 and it would be better than any of the exports out there. I didn't know they would...

I figured maybe 5, 6 years old for around 300ish 400 at the most since new are around 800.

I had one but I don't think they are for sale anymore.

Wow that far back to get in the $300 range. I guess prices don't drop that much. Ok, thank you.

Yea nice, but like I said looking for used most llikely, around 300ish.

Ok, and your suggestion for a radio?

Looking for suggestions for a decent ham mobile with AM USB LSB at minimum and with 11 meters. Looking to spend around $300ish. Used is probably likely from what I have been researching. Im liking the Icoms and Yaesu radios. Suggestions?
