    Dual Purpose Ladder Line Dipole

    Moleculo: I hadn't thought along those lines... I'm glad that I posted this thread. I will start looking up some information about this, I found one website discussing it already but will research it a little more. That would be about perfect for what I'm looking for; a multiband...

    Dual Purpose Ladder Line Dipole

    Additional Information: I am/was concerned about the possibility of the extension legs coming unattached from the insulator under the weight of the insulator since the wire is only wrapped around itself and not soldered. To confirm my suspicion, I stripped the insulation from a short...

    Dual Purpose Ladder Line Dipole

    I am submitting, for thoughts and opinions, an idea I had today for a dual purpose Dipole antenna. For reference, I have been getting ready to build a wire antenna that I can stuff into a sack and take with me for camping and field day purposes. I have already decided on feeding the dipole...

    2 Uniden PC68XL Radios - Mosfet, LED, Echo

    It was brought to my attention that Ebay's product description described these radios as having an LCD display. They do not. LCD displays are found in radios such as the RCI2950. This, like most CBs, have LED displays and are so described in my listing.

    My concealed sidearm is a KelTec P11 9mm... It holds 12+1 and I keep a spare 12rd mag for it. My on-duty weapon is a Kimber Custom II 1911 .45. Hard to beat a Kimber. They make an excellent weapon.

    SWR pegging out

    The only thing I can possibly grasp is that someone converted the RF Gain control to variable power. If, AND ONLY IF, your SWR is an acceptable level (1.2 as you say) which I would also confirm by using an external meter connected between your radio and antenna, you can adjust the sensitivity...

    SWR pegging out

    Simply turning the SWR Cal knob on your radio is not going to change the SWR. The ANT light is telling you that you have a problem. The correct procedure for a Cobra 29 CB Radio would be to turn the microphone gain (Dynamike) all the way down, set the SRF/SWR/CAL switch to the CAL position and...

    RCI 2950 Increase Mic Gain

    To clear the first part up, the SRA-117 is designed for the 2950DX, not the standard 2950. Had to put 8v on the mic jack to power the mic.

    RCI 2950 Increase Mic Gain

    I have a RCI 2950 (Non-DX) in my car but have modified the mic jack to put +8v so that I can use the SRA-117 echo microphone designed for the 2950DX on it. It seems, however, that the SRA-117 is lacking in the audio department. Anyone know of any resistor swaps for the 2950 to increase the...

    I found the problem with the grant some time ago. Someone had removed the roger beep oscillator transistor when attempting to remove the amc control. I replaced the transistor and it worked fine. Thanks
