    First buy from KSL classifieds!

    Ah, so Seattle is outta luck on that one! One time when I was in Sandy, UT to watch a Sounders away match (soccer) we cruised some local garage sales - I picked up a very cute 1946 Montgomery Wards "Airline" AM radio. It currently sits in my mom's kitchen and plays 880 KIXI AM oldies like it is...

    Base Fabrication Question

    Also I have a friend who is a contractor for Boeing and he has a CNC machine and access to aluminum and titanium. I have read about 102” stainless whips being used as an inverted V (dipole?) What materials would be proper to create a mount and what angle should I make them on the downward? I...

    So the flatter response, this would be where the EQ comes in allowing you to set your profile? Giving you (basically) infinite tuning adjustments compared to a power mic which just has the preamp dial? If I’m using the wrong terms feel free to set me straight! This has really got me intrigued...

    Random Insomnia Questions

    I’m learning! what are the rest of the boxes in chain? What is the purpose of the two identical boxes (that I do not know the name of? And now that I’m down this rabbit hole: With this iBox, does it make getting the very best microphone Ivan worth it or is there a “cut off” where there are...

    Random Insomnia Questions

    How does the PTT activate? I’m simple minded when it comes to electronics, is this basically an really cool power mic? If we were to say, put a D104 at the input, what would it look like down the chain to the radio? Overkill?

    Random Insomnia Questions

    So I’m not sleeping too well tonight and a question just came to me: I see lots of really nice audio microphones (like for performers for way less than they cost new. Is there any reason one could not wire up one of these for transmitting on a radio? jigger up a PTT and catch as catch can...

    CB CH9 REACT alive and well on Hawaii-5-O ...

    In my city growing up we could talk with a local cop any time on channel 21 - most weekend we'd yap with him and sometimes stop to visit wherever he was posted up. Of course, he knew we street raced down in the valley but never bugged us as long as we were out in the rural areas.

    CB CH9 REACT alive and well on Hawaii-5-O ...

    Back in about 1995 I had a 148GTL in my 1962 Biscayne 2-Door Post. I was waiting for my girlfriend in front of her house (she was getting off work) and around 2AM I heard about the weakest signal possible... the dude was stuck up on some mountain and I took the details down and called in the...

    Compact SSB rig, size of Cobra 25?

    I don't mean to hijack the thread but: The 146 is just a bit before my time - what is the main difference between a 148 or 142? I see it doesn't have a SWR meter built in but is the board different?

    Sirio turbo 5000

    I've had my Sirio 5000 with a 980SSB and AT6666 and get RAVE reviews and I've been all over the Pacific Northwest mobile. It is quiet on receive and matches really nice to everything I've hooked up to it. I'd buy again, and if I were mounting a permanent rather than mag mount I'd totally get...
