1978 same as the PC-409 Uniden boards ! (Also President Grants from the same makers ) Tiwan R.O.C although some had the 858 PLL and then came the 8719 PLL ..........5 years later the boards were put into the mighty Cobra 2000 GTL's ! from 1983 to 1993 , they had a good 10 year run especially...
Thank you all very much for the ideas and knowhow . You have all given me something to go on and at least I can give them a try . As I said before Condo living and rules and regulations limit what I can do as is , if it were up to me I would have a good antenna on the roof but that's a no go...
Oh yes , that's where the K40 stinger came in . The utility table is on about 4 inch bricks . Like I said , the match "appears" to be good but there's RF apparently all over the place and can change very easily , I really don't know what the "truth" is here ? Maybe false readings and or mismatch...
Wilson 5K load on a Wilson 1K mag mount (RG58) on a 2 by 3 foot metal table on porch 15 feet off the ground used with a K40 / 58 inch stinger (because it "appeared" to match better then the Wilson's) I'm guessing RF is traveling the outside of the coax because moving wires , radio or coax inside...
My CB radio EGO mentality ! (I'm guilty !) Wow ! Handy Andy really is handy ! Thanks ! Reading your replies is like going to school , even though I might need to read it a few times before it clicks in (or if it ever does) I've known a few techs in my time (if that's what they really were ? I...
Quad 6 , although I'm reading they aren't to swift when it comes to running a little extra power on the side , sounds like there more just plug and play with a little extra (a lot really) I realize 50 to 60 watts AM and SSB can still go a long way , sounds like out of the box there good to go .
I just read a mouth full ! So to keep things as easy as possible and for best results , it's best not to run power with the Q6's ? Is it the fact that even if you de-tune them the pep swing is still to much ? Like for say on 2 x MRF 455s ? (60 watt x 2) or even if I could ? If the radio does...
Thanks to all for chiming in on this one , I read a lot in prior threads about these radios as well , I really have not heard to much bad about them at all , seems the good really out weighs anything bad. Looks like the cost and what you get for your money is surely a bargain. Hopefully in a few...
It's been a handful of years for me and I'm looking to buy me a brand new radio for a change . (Been out of the loop for a while now) From what I have read both the Q6's & PL2+'s are decent affordable radios . Was just wondering what you guys might think ? or if one is that much better then the...
Seems like these Italian amps have really gotten all the more popular over the last decade or so ? I realize this is a 11 year old thread (and a good one) Is this amp now a days still a class C amp ? or did they clean them up ? Thanks
It'a been a while LC , I must admit , this stuff just ain't like riding a bike for this aging dude (threading the needle can be trying at times) .........radio operator friend of mine passed away a few weeks back and I hadn't touched any of this stuff in 6 years or so ......I'm blaming it on him...
It's been a while for me but I think it's pretty cool that the FCC has allowed this on regular CB bands ! (can only hope that it doesn't turn out to be a mess waiting to happen ?) I can remember back in the early 80's ? When FCC was thinking about allowing 40 channels above 40 for SSB use but...
Thinking I found the same thing you did Triple 9 ..........Way cool ! It's been a while for me , Looks like the PC-409 board in the 148GTL ..........Admin fixed my account (Thanks Jeff !) RookieRadio on CBTricks and Switch Kit on the WWDX.
Yes this one is HD ...........Admin fixed my account for me , thanks Jeff ! RookieRadio im pretty sure was my CBTricks account name .......was always and forever Switch Kit on the WWDX .
on the bench the receive amp seemed to show gain , I then tried it off antenna and the receive amp does not work .....all else ,power and ssb delay work as they should. Price drop to 57.00 shipped.
