I was throwing aroud the thought of taking the test for technician. Providing I pass will I still be able to talk on 11 meter or will I have to give it up. I really don't want to give up CB if I don't have to. Thanks

They are pretty tough here especially when my wife is on the board. No flag poles are allowed either. Kinda sucks but work with what i have. Dipoles are a better antenna than a lot of people think.. Why ya think the hammers use them?

i have been on the air but trying to get a more orginized set up. I live in a condo so no antenna outside so I talk off a dipole in the basement. I get out around 5 miles, not to shabby for a piece of #14 wire.

It's not much to look at but it works well. A little more cleaning to do. The two jars with blue and red lids are SALT WATER DUMMY LOADS. Very easy to make.

Thanks, It's a 2005 Monte Carlo. I didn't want to mount it on the drivers side of the console because if my wife were to drive it then it would be in the way of the seat moving up. Passenger side it would be in their way. I lose a cup holder but that's ok. I also run a Wilson 1000 mag mount...

I made a dipole antenna. Formula for this is- 468/Frequency. Example 468/27.205=17.2 feet. I cut the #14 wire in half then stipped end of wire and connected one piece to the center lead of rg58 coax and the other to the shield sie of the coax. My center lead is HORIZONTAL (attached to the...

The new cars today don't give you much options for mounting a radio but I figured it out.

The only difference between 949 and 959 is the frequency counter and that is it.

Make sure you didn't hit the dimmer switch. I have done this on my DX 959 by mistake and thought I screwed something up.
