    The old FCC issued cb call signs

    KLI5336. The K followed by your initials and zip code was the temporary number you would use after you applied for a license and were waiting for it to arrive in the mail. Ahh, the good old days.:thumbup:

    98 VHP install in 2008 KW

    Fuses don't cause enough resistance to be cause for concern, but a short in an unfused + line will cause fire.:scared:

    1st AMP AL-811

    I wouldn't use ANY tuner with an amp. That is why there are resonant antennas. A tuner is a crutch. You probably wont use the amp much anyway. Just not really needed all that often. :whistle:

    You will still need to read it first, before an elmer can be of any help.

    coming to terms

    Yes, but you also had to prove that you knew WHY and HOW an airplane flew, and that you were proficient in actually flying , and landing, a plane.

    coming to terms

    Stevesm, Congratulations! You have just taken the first step towards being a REAL ham! Read, get some of the old radio and antenna books available online on ebay and such, or at hamfests, and read. Ask questions, but filter out the answers through the books. Experiment. Try new stuff. Try...

    Ontario, Canada banning CB's

    How does that work???

    RF shutting my truck down

    Sorry to burst the bubble, but it wasnt an O2 sensor causing your troubles. A bad ox sensor wont shut off an engine, just make it run rich. You can completely disconnect the sensors without problems other than a check engine light and rich condition. Keep looking.:bored:

    Ameritron AL-80B

    Most any tube amp I have ever used had lower output on ten than they do on the lower bands. 10 is also much harder on the tubes for some reason. I also agree with CK, no tuner needed if your antenna is even close to right.

    marine vhf @ my home

    Keep in mind that it is illegal to operate a marine vhf on land unless you operate a fixed base operation and have a fbo radio license. In other words, you have to be a licensed marine facility of some sort to use a marine radio from land. :whistle:
