Hi. I have a President HR2510 with a 5 pin microphone. RX audio is ok with volume at 9:00 am position. When I turn volume past 9:00, audio begin to get distorted and garbled. The more you turn the volume up, the more distorted it gets.
What can be the problem ?
I have a 1999 Montero Sport SUV. I plan to go to a keydown competition next July. I plan to use a 4 pill amp ( 1,200w pep ) with a Motor Maul and a 102” whip. Since I am not using an antenna puck ( don’t want make a hole on the roof ) I will be using a magnetic mount with a heavy ground strap...
Hi. I am in search of a “ parrot” box for a Cobra CB radio. I think it’s official name is simplex repeater. When someone transmit on a channel where this “ parrot “ is connected, it repeats exactly what you say. It has some kind of a recording device. It can records several seconds and then...
Thanks for your suggestion. I want a competition antenna as norrowbanded as posible. I’ve read somewhere that a a narrow banded antenna tends to be more efficient than a wide banded one. Pending for your comments if this info is true.
Following the 5/8 GPE Sirio antenna instructions , it loaded fine on 27.185 . Here are some pictures for you to see. By the way, anyone here know the type of aluminum tubing used on this antenna ? According with the picture, how long is this antenna? Last picture is from the tip of the antenna...
Hi again Marconi. The link doesn’t open al all. Can you post it again ?
By the way, it is not the Larry 150. It looks almost like the one I mentioned, the Sirio 5/8 GPE.
That is the idea. I will only use the 102” whip for competition. After competition, I’ll replace the antenna for a base load Striker antenna. I’ll take the paint off to make sure there will be a good ground. I’ll only compete on a four pill category with only one antenna.
Of course I won’t...
Today I bought for $ 20 bucks an antenna which I can’t identify. It has 6 sections, measures 19 feet long. Last section is stuck. Probably would be longer if I achieve to to take the last section out. It has 3 radials which are 4 feet long.
Any idea of the brand ?
Thanks loosecannon and fourstringburn for your comments.
By the the way, if I get a 102 whip, can I mount it in a semi-permanent like this ?
Where do you recommend to install the 102 whip ?
Hi again. Remember, I will just use this antenna for a Key-down competition only. After that, I’ll replace it with a base coil magnetic mount antenna.
I was planning to raise a trucker’s K40 antenna as high as possible. ( coil will be around 5 feet high ). Will it work the same ( or better )...
Why not put many watts through a mag mount ?
Why you use it if stationary ?
I am asking because I plan to go to a key down competition and I was thinking to use a full size 1/4 wave whip, just for the competition. Would it be more efficient than a center load coil antenna ?
