I don't think the reason for the only output showing is this but I think those hy gain amps are cb sweep tube amps and if I were you I'd drop your driving wattage down from 10 to 3 watts. I'm fairly sure if you get the amp to work 10 watts would be over driving that amp. I would also check those...

That's sweet! Although I use a quickie p 222 power chair as my main mobility chair, I've got a light whaight quickie manual chair in the attic I never use. I wonder if this can be moded to fit a manual wheelchair. That would be sick. I'd definitely dig it as a Coney island boardwalk cruiser...

I'm gonna build a flux capacitor. Fasten it to an old football helmet I have, strap it to my head and sit under a tree during a lightning storm. I'm gonna set it for 1887 travel to austria then, I'm gonna kill baby Hitler. Lightining's cool! HA HAHA HAAA.

I don't understand why items not directly hooked up to the antenna, that was struck such as, a hair dryer would get fryed. I'm not totally surprised as I know lightening has enough jiggawatts to blast a delorian back to the future.

Has anyone ever had a lightning strike on an anantenna of any type? Be it a tv antenna, Ham or cb and if so was it grounded or not? Maybe you know someone or have seen one that was stuck. What was the outcome? What can happen to an antenna and or equipment that's hooked up to the antenna? A...

THANKS After reading posts that said the A99 through of lots of tvi it scared me. I know from my research on this site the A99 is basically an end feed dipole and visa versa. My vertical and inverted V dipole gave off no tvi in my home and Concidering my hours of operation are early mornings on...

Checking out posts on a99 and other 1/2 wave antennas being tvi monsters. Is this true? I can't use an an antenna with radials. I checked out the maco V5/8 but those radials are out of the question. Are 1/2 wave antennas made of an aluminum or other metals any better at suppressing tvi? If so...

ANTENNA THEORY IS STILL JUST THAT It blows my mind that Einstein's theory isn't theory anymore yet antenna theory hasn't been nailed down. It blows my mind as antennas have been reciving and transmitting years before Einstein came up with E=Mc2. I've learned from the members of this site that...

IT'S A BIT PRICEY LMR Times 400 is made in America using the most copper of any cable I've ever used. Do your research. When all is said and done you will clearly see why it cost what it does. You get what you pay for. Be carfulll as there are sellers advertising like LMR but it's mot the real...

Captain kilowatt posted an excellent site for grounding all types of antennas. It suggests that you use 26)awg attached to a five to eight ft copper steak. Is this totally necessary? I know it's a very good idea to ground you antenna but 5-8 ft seems a bit deep. I may put up an a 99. Would it be...

FASTTRACK PROBLEMS? I apreceat and respect all your input. I'm glad I read the last post on the page . I was ready to contact Ralph before the one negative post.The reason for the Madison purchase is ssb. I enjoy my Sonar on am and will be using the Madison sticky for ssb. It's important...

THE BEST ANTENNA I EVER OWNED I replaced my first antenna (radio shack 3 element) with a fiber glass bigstick in 80. I'm not sure what year I replaced the bigstick with the first sigma with that distinctive loop. It may have been 82-84. I do remember the day I installed it. I noticed a...

Granted it's not the president but the final edition Madison with the digital clock. I'm gonna have my Tec unlock clarifier, add upper and lower and change out the digital clock with a frequency counter. I would like to add the counter that fits perfectly and looks like a factory install. I...

THAKNS SONOMA. That's a grate site. It's interesting too see how many rigs share the same pll's. Although I can't do the work myself its nice to learn about the different pll's and what mods can be done to them.

Is it true that these pll's (5080 cci3001 are impossible to do modifications such as adding extra channels or unlocking the clarifier? What other rigs of this era used these pll's? From the little information I could gather Royce was one of the cb makers that used these pll's.

Are there amplified mics that sound good with certain rigs? As we all have different voice caricturistics, is it just a matter of what Mic matches you rig + your voice? Is there a list of mics that just match certain radios perfectly. What's your favorite power mic + rig match up? Are there rigs...

SONAR Sonar 2340. IMO the best 40 channel am cb ever made. I own three. Two with the audio clipper board bypass and one unmodified in any way. Silver eagle's D104 on the bypassed one's and turner +2 on the unmodified one. Eva Nuvista makes it a no brainer for one or the best recive section ever...

WOW! Morgan freeman came a long way. I had a huge crush on the girl with the short hair on zoom. WERE GONNA ZOOM ZOOM ZOOMAH ZOOM, WERE GONNA TEACH YOU TO FLY HIGH!

THATS CLEAN IN MY BOOK. I remember people using amps that would splatter 15 channels away. As a matter of fact rigs with the best Recivers can get spatt from a five watt radio transmitting from a half a mile away even if it's transmitting on frequency. For the sake of argument, ok it's not a...

NOT WILLING TO SETTLE I'm really looking forward to purchaseing my first ssb radio. It's gonna be a base. I'm trying my bes to find a virgin. Being I have my heart set on the President Madison, it's become obvious that very few escaped the screwdriver. I found an unmolested sbe V. That actually...
