    I like a properly working mod limiter. Most factory mod limiters really suck at doing their job.

    Pickup truck mounting

    I have a Dodge Ram I currently use a Firestik on a fender mount. A 4 transistor amp is about the limit for that. Im going to try my luck with a headache rack. A lot of people have issues with a headache rack mount. I have a rack so I figure its worth a shot. If I have to drill I go with a Gunny...

    Galaxy dx959 EPT069610Z help

    It takes a lot of tuning to get more watts. I have one that does a clean perfect linear 60+ watts on a Bird pep meter. I built the radio 10 years ago. However I notice more watts out of my single final radios driving the same amps...... Not worth the time, in my opinion.....

    RM Italy KL-503 woah! is stock CB safe?

    I have a 503, ok little amp. 100 watts is fine. I have found for a stock radio (4 watt carrier) you want the power setting on 6. Otherwise your carrier will be too high (too much drive)

    BIRD WATTS. LOL

    Bird has its place. I have Bird and Diawia. If you have a mismatch on your antenna the numbers cannot be trusted with the Diawia or any SWR meter really. Dont believe me, raise your reflect and watch your wattage output change. The worse the match the less accurate the meter is. Bird is more...

    AMATEUR RADIO. THE UTOPIA MOST TICKET HOLDERS WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE?

    I wasn't implying that you were trolling, it was a statement that radio operators were the original trolls.

    100 mhz scope question

    With AC there is always the possibility of a small about current on the neutral/ground.

    100 mhz scope question

    Not as accurate as a bird when you're dealing with high reflect, they are well built and I dont have to change slugs.

    100 mhz scope question

    I did the same, but inside my watt meter. I only ran a grounded U fairly close to the antenna wire. It picks up milliwatts to well over a KW

    Galaxy Dx 959 Mosfet Complete Tune Up Procedure

    Are you running a factory single final mosfet? Or a modified bipolar to mosfet conversion? Or dual mosfets? What kind of pep power are you seeing? Normally 3.4v the mosfet is almost fully biased, being high level modulated I wouldnt think the dead key would be affected that much. Does you pep...

    Shockwave Antenna

    I have seen one first hand, all I can say is that they are well built. A 5/8 wave will preform like any other 5/8 wave.
