    i find it disheartening that both my ar3500 & grant xl-actually ANY of either of those 2 radios-have better noise removing capabilities then any HF rig i've ever used mobile. i still have my 706mk2g in my mobile & i think it's pretty much neck & neck with an ic7000 i tried. i've...

    Delta Force and TX Star 250HDV

    that's the 1st right answer i've seen in a while!! everybody concerns themselves with the output of the radio. you need to adjust it to get the REAL rated output of the amp.

    Max watts for new car?

    the 1st vehicle i ever worked on that totally crapped out by use of an amplifier on cb was an early 2000's gmc general truck tractor. an unmodded export am/fm with a dx500 (or maybe 667, don't remember), and a well mounted single mirror mount, wilson 2000 i think, would cause the truck to buck...

    Hurricane SANDY

    king cobra, what most people missed-from weather forecasters to the power companies to people nowhere near here who see the news & ask HOW DID THAT HAPPEN from a lowly category 1 hurricane, that officially wasn't a hurricane-what they missed was the 12' storm surge. last year irene also hit at...

    i'm easy, i'll buy the typo story :) 100% modulation? a trained ear can tell. shockwave used a trained eye to confirm what i already knew. mmm is on cb. i don't care who he is. it's over 100%. i never said he doesn't sound good :)
