Base: 9913 on my Imax, 8214 on the quad, Jefa-Tech LMR400 style RG-8 on the yagi Mobile: LMR 240UF

That sounds more like the Don I remember. I used to have him do all my Tech work years back before he closed his public shop along I-90 and "retired" to do the warranty work out of his home shop. He was always straight forward and didn't give you any BS. :thumbup1:

During the War Wayne used to come over to my house twice every other Sunday to eat chicken shit I know Wayne. :huh:

I'd be sure to check with Wayne, no way to go wrong there........:unsure:

Fairly decent day here in nw PA, made a few left coast contacts from the mobile.:thumbup1:

Just a HI/LO power switch.

There is a noticeable performance increase with the W1000/5000 over the smaller W500 in both TX and RX. I've used both, FWIW.

Ouch. :thumbup::pop:

Doc- I've done a lot of biz with R&L over the years and never had a problem. I'm fairly certain Megatron/Galvatron/Bandit mis-interpreted what he was told. Just my $.02, FWIW.

R&L doesn't cater to the average CB'er, per se. They handle the type accepted radios, Cobra, Midland, Uniden. Having dealt with R&L more times than I care to count, I assure you that any misunderstood communication is on your end. :huh: FWIW.

Last year I replaced a slightly damaged A99 (cracked f'glass) with a used Imax. Locally I picked up "about" 1/2 S unit or so, according to a reliable source. Exact same mounting scheme, same coax, etc. FWIW. I don't know about DX performance, I use my directional arrays for that. Just my $.02.

cbtricks.com has the schematics listed for both the variable and non-variable models under "Firebird" in the amplifier section.

Looks like a Swinger or Firebird amp, manufactured in IN years ago. Probably has 4 6JE6C's in a 1 driving 3 configuration. The adjustable model (which that is) had output from about 160W to about 210W, around 400 PEP.

Not a tax refund purchase, but still a new toy. A Galaxy 95T2 to replace the Galaxy DX88HL in my mobile.

It's rare that PA gets dumped on and it's not us up here in the NW corner, I'm sure we'll be next. Good luck.

If you don't want to use automotive fiberglass resin, marine-grade urethane spar varnish with the U/V stabilizers can be used instead.

I run the one I have at about 150W carrier on AM, I've seen close to 400W on SSB. Tube life has been acceptable.

There's a bunch of guys over in the Poconos, but I have no idea what channel(s) they use.

PA, northwest corner. Originally from central PA.

I saw it mentioned earlier on another Forum that a guy in Australia could talk to his girlfriend in Japan as long as they both had their antennas in the sea.:thumbup1:
