    Better than average SSB radio

    I believe you can rule out adding FM.I believe the Cobra 2000 is pretty much a Cobra 148 GTL in a Big box?

    Anyone tried this screwdriver?

    I use the Harvest Outback 2000 as a portable antenna & it works great. I've never used it on 80 meters since it's not a band that I care much for.It does not have a motor so it's manually tuned.

    TELL US ABOUT YOUR SETUP

    I forgot to mention that I use the RED HEIL FIN with the 7610 & either the HEIL PR-781 or the EV RE-320 with the 9100.I have (7) HEIL boom microphones & those mentioned are my Favorites.

    TELL US ABOUT YOUR SETUP

    I have a NEW ICOM 7610 & an ICOM 9100 with both Optional roofing filters & the D-STAR module installed. I hope to get the New tower & antennas up soon & until then I'm using the Antron 99 at 30'. for my HF QSO's. I will plug in the ICOM PW-1 as well once the HF & 6 meter yagi antennas are back...

    TRAM D201A help needed

    I believe if it's a Late model it should have the Grey/Gray main tuner box & Not the Black one.

    10 to 13 element beam

    I had a 17B2 up for about 6 months & those support pieces both broke because the aluminum stock was so thin. It talked great until then & then it was taken down & somebody else owned it. I ran a TE Systems 5054 amplifier into it & I worked all over North America,Cuba,Puerto Rico & more with it.

    VINTAGE WEBSTER BANDSPANNER 80-10 METER MOBILE ANTENNA

    I still have the Webster Bandspanner.10-80 & I may entertain shipping it if we can work out the shipping costs. I believe I have a shipping tube it will fit in as well but I's have to be sure that it will fit into the tube. I know that it won't with the Huge spring on the base of it but I might...

    understanding the A99,, the 1/2 wave over 1/4 wave bit

    I don't know what the antenna really is by design but I have been using mine at 30 feet for over 10 years with 100 watts & I have worked the world on 10-17 meters & if it's really quiet even on 20 meters with the tuner in the ICOM 7610. It's the only HF antenna I currently have since my tower...

    If you had to pick a 40 SSB CB BASE purely on asthetics what would you choose?

    The DAK X is Hands Down the best looking CB Radio EVER produced by anyone. When those 4 Big Meters are lit up along with all of the small lights for the toggle switches nothing comes close. It's also not Chrome but Brushed Aluminum. It was the last CB Base I ever owned & mine had never been...

    50ft tilt crank up/tower w/pics

    Those are very nice towers for sure. I have a Mosley TA-53M with the 40 meter dipole,M2 6M5X,Cushcraft 215WB,& Hi-Gain VB-214FM so this tower will be far from overloaded. Best thing is I can work on everything by myself & no more worries about hurricane damage. It's motor driven as well so for...

    50ft tilt crank up/tower w/pics

    I know this is an Old thread but I just found one of these towers and it has the specs for up to 110 mph and with no guy wires it’s rated at 28.8 sq ft of windload and with guy wires it’s rated at 40 sq ft of windload.It made me decide that I was putting it up and not another ROHN 25 that I...

    I bet that tree limbs are Murder on that thing.I tried using 4 different resonators and adding the fourth one in the center stud made all of the rest out of tune badly.I finally gave up and replaced them with a Lil Tarheel HP & No more issues with high SWR.

    I like the WM-1 meters so well that I own & use Four of them. One is the original with the Black Face. Have a blessed day & God Bless.

    looking to trade

    Does it have the 6LF6 tubes or is it an older model? I believe there were three different tube variations over the years & maybe four? Some converted to the 8950's but they cost an arm & a leg now so not very smart. I was thinking 500 to 600 was about the Top of the output for them but again...

    Still seems high for that amp. Have you ever looked at it on a scope? I have not read the specs on those tubes in a very long time either but I could be wrong about what it should be putting out?
