    need help choosing radio?? Mirage 36hp? cobra?

    So far I am really happy with my Magnun S45HP with the rfx-75 stock. Even if it is a junky horrible sounding export that could never match the sound of a properly tuned cobra. I have a cobra 29 I just had an rfx-75 installed on as well. I haven't tried it yet. Still waiting to get it back.

    I gotta get away from the Internet. I'll have me a base rig setup soon if I don't. Lol.

    The radio room!

    I have always been intrigued by the 2950 and 2970. Just bought the magnum cause I'm a truck driver and talk alot on AM. So I thought the AM audio might be a little stronger on the magnum.

    Very nice. How do you like the magnum compared to the ranger?

    New Outdoor Cooker

    I have a masterbuilt electric smoker. I like it alot, but built an ugly drum smoker a few weeks ago and it makes briskets almost just like a wood smoker. Thick smoke ring and all.

    CRE 8900 SSB - don't know if anyone had posted this yet

    That's exactly what my CRE is doing. Still talkback even when talkback says off. If you find an answer please share with me. I may have the RK56 on it tonight. If that helps I will let you know. I really feel like its coming from that mic. I just can't want to like that little cheapy feeling...

    CRE 8900 SSB - don't know if anyone had posted this yet

    Awesome. Maybe it's my mic. No matter where the gain is set. When I key up I hear a scratching sound in my external speaker. Hopefully the RK56 does well. Are you not liking the S45-HP? It took me awhile to get it how I want it. With my mic gain at 12 o'clock, rf power at 12 o'clock and me being...

    CRE 8900 SSB - don't know if anyone had posted this yet

    What microphone are you guys using on the CRE 8900? My stock mic sounds horrible. I have a guy wiring my RK-56 or I was thinking of ordering an Astatic RD104E. I really like that mic on my Magnum in the big truck. It really woke it up.

    CRE 8900 SSB - don't know if anyone had posted this yet

    I don't have a spring or extension. I'm thinking about trying to fabricate some sort of extension. My coax broke so I have to run a new one. Guess I'll have lots of experimenting to do.

    I apologize. Didn't mean to take it off topic. I was talking about a CRE 8900 though.

    CRE 8900 SSB - don't know if anyone had posted this yet

    I had a wilson 5000 base load. Drilled and mounted to the center of the roof of my suburban. Paired with a Galaxy DX 98VHP. That combination was one of the better radios i've had the pleasure to run. I talked to my dad who had the same model galaxy on his ford pickup with a 102" whip for 70...

    CRE 8900 SSB - don't know if anyone had posted this yet

    I bet I can get out now. This isn't the optimal mounting spot for the antenna,but the 102" whip is definitely doing a much better job than the 3' K-40 was. I was able to talk to my cousin 20+ miles on LSB. Hopefully with more grounding i'll get the SWR's down more. They are 1.5 on 1 and 1.3 on 40.

    CRE 8900 SSB - don't know if anyone had posted this yet

    I bought a Red Devil for my Magnum S-45HP. Got it in today. I REALLY like the results so far. It is a brand new radio and came with a factory power mic. I drive a big truck and the background noise was just way too much. I tried a RK56 and an Astatic 636L. I got reports that the stock power mic...

    Do you know a good place to get them? Or is $25 from bells cb where I bought the radio my best option?

    CRE 8900 SSB - don't know if anyone had posted this yet

    I need to order the cable. The plug on the CRE is the same as a mini USB cable. I have several mini USB cables so I wanted to make sure they wouldn't work before spending $25 on another one. I plugged it into the radio and the computer. The computer didn't recognize it. So looks like I'll be...

    CRE 8900 SSB - don't know if anyone had posted this yet

    I've been really lucky so far. I had a galaxy 98vhp in my suburban for a couple of years. A cobra 29 in my jeep for a year and various galaxies and a 158edx in the big truck for over 4 years. Both vehicles spend lots of time late nights and weekends in a dark Walgreens parking lot with the store...

    It's not a great pic,but hear is the only one i've taken so far. I had a Cobra 29ltd Chrome up there so it was all wired up and ready to go. I think i may eventually move it up to the footmans loop above the rearview mirror. All i can say so far is i am very pleased with this little radio
