Keep us informed on how it's working for you, I've had a couple people around here ask me about it, but my only knowledge of it is what I've read online. My father is looking to lower his monthly bill and called his local WalMart for info on Straight Talk, but got no useful answers. Go...

Not if you really want to get out, ten fo'? :whistle:

I wasn't expecting a whole lot for 20 bucks, but I have to admit it's a decent enough performer. I checked it on a tester first, on-air reports have been loud and clear. The volume control leaves a bit to be desired, very loose and easy to bump off the setting. If nothing else, it'll serve as a...

I picked up one of those mics last week and it had the warning card included. :thumbup:

I'm currently using two, a 2x2879 and a 4x2879. Both work as they're supposed to, Class C "comp-style" 11M CB amps, build quality is top notch. I'm not going to make any wild claims about them, they are what they are. They perform flawlessly for the mobile applications I got them for. I...

Is that what they mean by "blowing smoke"? :huh:

I bought one a while back just to see what it would do. In a nutshell, it works. It's a typical mic, nothing special. Not the worst mic I've used, certainly not the best, it does fit your hand well if you're right handed. It's now occupying space in the spare mic box, as I'm currently trying a...

As you all probably guessed, this person is a member at CBRT and posted this YouTube production as a "rebuttal" to the people who warned him of smoke in his not too distant future. <gotproof>

A guy from W VA who used to hang out over at CBRT made 1x4 amps with a 2879 as a driver under the name Mountain Made. FWIW.

Sort of on the same topic, and sort of not, but.......... Suppose you built two Moxons, oriented them vertically, and fed them in phase. It would resemble a two element quad, but would be "side firing" instead of an end-fire array like the quad. I'm wondering if you would gain the "usual"...

I have one of those from back in the mid-70's, labeled "Bimbo Bilinear" as in the above post. Mine has PT9784A's for transistors which, IIRC were listed as 75W devices. As Bob85 said, the PEP/RMS switch is just a Hi/Lo switch. Mine would do 90W/60W, again IIRC. I beat the snot out of the...

I have a P5000 that has been on two different W5000 magmounts, one roof mounted, the other on the center of the trunk lid. Both locations have withstood 90 mph highway speeds. I DID knock the trunk mount over during a hard rainstorm from hitting a low hanging tree limb. I since have hit the...

RF Ltd. 2018 Extreme with all the noise makers OFF. Really good tonal qualities, and if you absolutely HAVE to have the sound effects, it's just the flick of a switch away.

A seat of the pants, non-scientific test between the two 5000's consistently showed the Sirios P5000 to have a slightly higher received signal strength over the Wilson 5000 on three different receiving stations. By higher, we're looking at a "couple needlewidths" difference, about what I'd...

I haven't had the time to do any swapping back and forth between the Wilson and the Sirio to see if there's any measureable difference in transmitted signal strength. All I can say is that it works, both locally and for DX. The only new info I can add is that the Wilson 5000 magmount easily...

Getting back on topic, today I put a Sirio P5000 on an existing Wilson 5000 magmount, trunk mounted on a Dodge sedan. Out of the box the Sirio had SWR measurements under 1.2 on ch.1, 20, and 40. Also noted was a major decrease in background noise, even with the engine OFF. I always had a...

I've been repairing rods for local tackle shops and building custom rods since about 1974. It used to be a sideline business, now I only do a few per year, time permitting.

45 degrees, give or take, has always worked for me in the nw corner of PA.

Apparently because the box is in black and white instead of color? :confused:
