Before doing any hasty mods, try turning on your mic compressor feature. Normally this is to boost SSB audio but I also use it on my ICOM 706 for AM. (The 718 should also have this feature).

Trial and Error… that is how I learned what works best for my station. The smallest I would go with (stock radio) is a 4 amp supply. I prefer a 10-12 AMP for a SSB radio. Reason being for multiple radios, or future radio and station upgrades. IMAX 2000, AstroPlane, or a dipole are my...

Nice and Neat!

How many did you put on the coax, all five? This would be helpful for the folks suffering with TVI.

Well this could expand the hobby on HF.

To be honest if someone mentioned the name whackpack outside of this forum I would assume it would refer to an Italian mobster group.

a Kraco 23 channel with a copystick style antenna (1973)

Remember Switchkit in my area CB is a rarity. I have monitored/listened on 11 meters for about 2 years and I can only find about 8 folks in a 20 mile radius that chat on the standard 40 channels. We have one CB shop that I would consider sending my radios to and one other CB shop that is OK...

Picked up the Rohn H40 at R&L Electronics last Saturday. I don't see the justification of the $180 shipping. The antenna was long, but I could fit it inside my SUV with no problems. The construction was more sturdy than I had imagined. Too bad we had all the snow over the weekend... This...

I have had good results running a dipole flat-top configuration. I don't typically run on 160 meters (only in the winter). I had to use the shortened dipoles since my yard is only 50ft long.

Well said

This is a rhetorical question you know... :wink: Technician: Someone whose occupation involves training in a specific technical process. or defined as: Someone known for high skill in some intellectual or artistic technique. So, used in a loose manner it would entail someone trained...

Huge thanks!

The whole concept of "CB Tech" always confused me anyhow. I have yet to find one. :?

Hmmm :?

yes thanks!

dBsi dB over small intestines

Puts on me capacitance hat... :lol:

I would go with the Wilson 1000. Mag mounts have the ability lose their grounding property (at higher speeds/wind resistance) if the mag mount is too small for the antenna. I have ran into this problem before but not with a Wilson 1000 Mag mount. (something to consider on taller antennas with...

I have built a few of Craig Anderton's designs. I had a few of my own years ago.... where has the time gone?
