Yes, the noise gets louder with the RF gain pegged all the way up. Less when I turn it down. But I still leave it all the way up for the same reason you do. I'll get one of those Walkie Talkie Cbs when I get a chance & try playing detective around the block if I can find a decent one. As for...

Sorry guys, the link is most definately gone. It's been removed because of violation.

Hello Rob, In regards to your noise, I suppose I should count my blessings. Yes, these antennas are really sensitive to picking up noise, but I believe there are ways around it. Yes, I've tried everything, Even used a car battery to get around my AC power. Still the hum or buzz. I have a...

Hello L.C. And to all who may be keeping up with this thread,"God help you". Yes, I've been playing off & on for about 35 years now. I currently own about 7 guitars but may sell a couple on Ebay soon to fund this IMAX dilemma I've been having. LOL! Ya know what? as far as you've been...

Your not alone. And I thought 1.5 Db worth of ground floor noise was H_LL. I just can't imagine what 3 DB's worth of noise sounds like. I have a good 1.4 SWR though. I too bought the Imax in hopes of a good install, but lots of problems arose for me here. Here's my sob story if you have a...

Was reading the closed thread from Wire Weasel on the Imax 2000 antenna. A lot of good info for sure as I just put one of these antennas up about a month and a half ago. As with everything else, I usually don't screw with something unless there are problems and I went ahead and installed my 2000...

Hello L.C., Dang, And I thought I was the only crazy book writer here. lol! Just kidding. Hey! first I want to sincerely thank you for all of this good advice. And I appreciate it greatly. Yes, you did say it already & yes, I did remember you said to unhook the mast ground cable. But I...

Thanks guys, Well, it's too late. I went crazy days ago. :bdh: Especially when I ordered the 2' 1 1/4" Delrin rod. So what does the guy do? He shipped it to me in two 1' sections! :headbang So I had to reorder from another supplier. Just as well because I also had the wrong diameter also...

LOL! Now, now L.C.! just hold on a minute there. If I didn't know any better I'd take that as an insult. Yes L.C., as you'd suspect with a 104 year old house that there would be 12/2 two wire wiring at least somewhere, and it's true, the second level of my house is still with the old...

Just thought I'd add to this post a bit more before I gave it a rest. I was wanting to do this comment on Antenna installation & setup, but since I already scraped right here about grounding, I thought I better keep it here. Lately, there has been many different thoughts, views, methods...

Correction L.C., I get up at 4:15am every Saturday morning after getting home at 12:45pm Friday night. I'd be lucky to even get an hour & a half sleep. I control all the refrigeration for a major food company plant. I work 2nd shift, but expected to do a turnaround come early Saturday mornings...

Hello all, Hope your sunday was a good one. Thank you for the advice. A lot of great info and believe me I'm eating it up. However, no offence guys, but yes, I know the coax is 50 ohms. But I did not know how the maufacturers came up with the figures, so I've learned something here. I...

Oh yeah, just one more question, CB band is indeed 11 meters is it not? Than 160-10 meters, The CB band should be covered as far as the length of coax to wrap around the PVC pipe for the Choke. But you said I would only need 8'. Perhaps it's the smaller cable I'm thinking about. Well, the delrin...

Hello L.C. Good advice & that's what I'm going to do soon. I ordered the 1 1/4" x 2' delrin rod like you said. That's a better idea than trying to install just a nylon plate. BTW, I forgot about the u-bolts and clamps that would still be in contact with the mast. So delrin rod it is. Say, I...

My two cents worth, Like BM said, if your going to buy an I-10K, don't waste your money any further. As for the IMAX 2000, I just bought one, is it ten years old already? If I would have known that, I would have just bought something else. As much as I know, You cannot even compare the I-10K at...

And also LC, it will cost us an arm or a leg if we don't do it right. I'll keep ya posted. James

Good afternoon gentlemen, & ladies I suppose. :-) So Fodendaf, so you are on top of a mountain? You said it worked well. Well I believe it should at that elevation. It's so nice up in the mountains. Yes guys, you guessed it, I'm at work again, watching the beautiful sunset in the clear...

Hey guys, thanks for the tips. So Fodendaf, I am sorry to hear you are right beside a cell phone tower. And I thought I had problems. Just thought I'd pop in here from work. Seems like I live here at times, but I'm rested enough to reply. Thank you for the tips from you also Buttfuzz, But I've...

Hey Mack! :w00t: THAT'S THE SAME SOUND I HAVE! Identical to the tee. Except mine also has a few blips here and there. But that's dead on! I can;t believe it, but it's true. The same friggen sound! What do we do now? get our rifles out? Become Ninjas and go on a mission? :lol:

Thank you N8fgb & Mackmobile43 for your inputs, Yes, I suppose I could try turning off the power again since I have the battery hooked up now. So I will try it in the morning. And good luck to you Mack in regards to that house down the block, Wow! a block away! imagine that rascal! You must have...
