    noise to signal ratio

    I just looked at the operation manual for the software and you are absolutley correct. I guess I was assuming that you would use the 1 kc modulation tone as provided by the signal generator. I had downloaded the software but have not let it install yet; I am waiting to find out how long the...

    noise to signal ratio

    Before you give up please verify the frequency of the 1 kc tone. If it is off by even a few cycles the SINAD meter will not work properly. And also, the advice ROBB is giving you is spot on; I am on the same page with what ROBB is saying.

    Cobra 2000GTL Low Channel Mod??

    Ok, great. Thank you I won't be doing anything like this soon but maybe in the future. But it's always nice to know what your options are.

    Traffic Cameras.

    I understand what you are saying and I agree. It pisses me off too. Maybe what I was really talking about is bad people. Maybe I was not really talking about cameras, but the subject gave me an opportunity to vent and express how I feel about certain kinds of people. My appologies if we have...

    Traffic Cameras.

    I agree, but maybe we are talking about two different things. If the cameras are used only for their intended purpose then I don't mind as long as it reduces the number of people disobeying red lights and reduces the number of accidents and subsequently the number of people that are hurt...

    Cobra 2000GTL Low Channel Mod??

    Pretty cool. That was a good idea to use a relay and the PA/CB switch. Clean mod without drilling holes and adding switches. I am curisous, if you don't mind to tell us, where you got the cyrstal. I am just curious about the 'behind the scenes' info. Thanks I have a Cobra that I moded...

    Traffic Cameras.

    I just don't understand people. It is against the law to disobey an automatic traffic controlling device. It is for peoples safety. It reduces the number of people that are hurt or that can be killed. The people that don't concern themselves with the number of red lights they can run don't...

    noise to signal ratio

    You're close, but no cigar. Refer to my post (#20). When your generator is calibrated at the "0" mark on the meter and you have all attenuation out, according to the manual for your generator, you have 100,000 microvolts. 0 dbm is 223,000 microvolts. Your generator is already -7db below the...

    Magnum 257 HP - Sideband TX problem.

    Here's a excellent example of (crazy) pricing strategies: New Starduster M400 Base Station CB Ham 10 Meter Antenna M 400 18' 1000 Watt 7dB | eBay Whomever posted that on Ebay forgot to mention that it is 'gold-plated'.

    galaxy 959 c220

    There is a method by which you can make an average responding meter read very close to what a PEP meter will read when on SSB. (this will not work for AM) If you do this test then do it at a frequency where the SWR is the lowest on the antenna or better is to use a dummy load if you have one...

    Magnum 257 HP - Sideband TX problem.

    WOW.... that's kinda like callin' the 'kettle black' isn't it? If you intended to be critical of someone's post by calling them immature then why would you leave an immature post in reply?

    galaxy 959 c220

    Actually that may well be explained as a change made by the engineers in a particular production run when they found out that when they changed to a different vendor for the driver or final devices that they were not exactly as the previous devices that were being used and a 'tweak' to some of...

    Really bad luck with alignments, or...?

    My experience is that those pots are touchy, but should not readjust themselves from the radio being jarred. I supspect that might be symptomatic of a pot that is defective with regards to its mechanical stability and if replaced then that symptom might go away.
