Well you can check out batlabs.com and get the info. You need an ancient PC to make it work. If your only going to reprogram the one radio you should be able to find some one locally to do it. $50 bucks or so. Hams use those too and might be able to find a local ham or GMRS nut who can program...

"I am going to get my ameture licence here soon and i am going to start building mostly ham band equipment anyway." There are a couple articles on the web about building a 1/2 or 5/8 wave mobile antenna for 6 meters using a SS102 whip. It uses a shunt coil and mostly home depot parts. If you...

BTW I'm in San Diego and have 6 elements on 6 and 10 elements on 2. If I ever get some time off and get my tower up I will be good from 160 to 1296. A total of 131 elements in the air.

Have you ever checked in to WJST? Usally some one around on 2 and 6 you can work digital.

I'm looking for one of those distortion filters...............

"whatever you do don't add any type of filtering, the filters will stop the majority of the distortion " huh?

It has been a long time since I messed with car audio. But the radios use to have a tuning cap on the radio for AM. On the radios with the 2 knobs sticking out the front, you accessed that cap by removing the knob. You would fine a weak signal and tune for best reception. Not sure if they...

What are Lincolnc going for now? I put the word out to the locals for a 2950 and was told about a lincoln for $75. Is that about right? </p>

It's been a long time since I messed with CB stuff but I seem to remember those add on freq counters. Can some one give me a quick refresher? Did it take a sample from the VCO/PLL and though dip switch settings add so much to give you your operating frequency? If so what was the range of...

I worked a guy using one of these. I'm going to put together one soon. members.aol.com/N2kbk/6m.html </p>

Might as well check out WSJT then too. Mostly for 6 and above. A high speed meteor mode and a slow speed mode that pulls signals out well below the noise. </p>

I’ll echo Doc’s comments but put my own spin on it. Probably not much difference above 20 meters. On 40 meters and lower the working bandwidth of a mobile ant is very small. So the ability to tune it while driving is the convenience. Low band mobiling is not plug and play. When using a...

Any body try this yet? It’s an easy way for a no code to make DX contacts on 6 and 2 meters. With my minimum set up, 10 elements and 100 watts on 2 meters have made contacts around 800~1000 miles. Though the contacts are the minimum required. www.vhfdx.de/wsjt/ </p>

I did the hamstick thing for a while. You will only get a few khz bandwidth on 40 and 75 meters. Don’t think about running any power. But if you are new to low band mobile can’t really go wrong for $20. But I think they are considered the Antron 99 of the ham world. My antenna of choice is...

What about a 20LF6 conversion? </p>

I’m assuming you got the beam for SSB DX? Then leave it horizontal, even though the repeaters are vertical you will still be able to hit them cleanly. Though if you want to work FM simplex with mobiles, then you will need a vertical also. Don’t know how much experience you have with beams...

All mode or FM only? </p>

Steal Man, Start off small, don’t try a KW on your first go. Buy a few cheap/broken ones and fix those. Sell them and work your way up. Chris, Not sure what type of school your enrolled in but look at it as a necessary evil. You need the basic theory down to excel in other endeavors...
