Like I said... Sometimes you gotta figure things out for yourself.:wink:

I can't see how that would be a bad thing; however, it might have been General George Patton, Jr.

Friendly advice. Most times it's not how much you say, but what you say that's important. Also, it's almost always better to try to figure things out for yourself. I know Li'Yeshua's avatar says Senior Member, but I would be careful of any advice he gives. (Questions good. Too many...

No isn't an answer. I guess that's enough for today. Sincerely, thanks for putting up with me.

Did anybody read the question?

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around....?

I didn't say he wasn't. What I am, is highly suspect of Lil' Yeshua's motives on this forum. He keeps dropping DTB's name on every single post without ever contributing the the true intensions of the thread. He's only been on what, 2 months, and he's already got 3 stars. (not that I care...

F-IT, I'LL LEARN IT MYSELF.

Tiny Jesus PLEASE STOP ADVERTISING FOR DTB ON MY THREADS!!! WITH NO DISRESPECT TO THE MAN, I REALLY DON'T CARE WHO HE IS!!! Now if someone doesn't know the answer, either say you don't know, or....... DON'T REPLY!!!

:headbang I'm wanting to calibrate the modulation meter on a DX979 but I don't have an O-scope. My theory is that if I arbitrarily set the MAX OUTPUT (100% Mod) @ 30W, and run my signal generator through the mic @ 200-250 Hrz (for the tone of my voice), that then I'll be able to adjust the...

I don't know who DTB is.

I was expecting just an approximation. Just trying to figure out how to do things on my own, that's all. 1: Don't have an O-scope 2: Can't afford an O-scope 3: Don't know how to use an O-scope

I'm wanting to calibrate the modulation meter on a DX979 but I don't have an O-scope. My theory is that if I arbitrarily set the MAX OUTPUT (100% Mod) @ 30W, and run my signal generator through the mic @ 200-250 Hrz (for the tone of my voice), that then I'll be able to adjust the meter for 100%...

If you're as enthusiastic about learning electronics as you are about CB's (which is great), it will not be long before your building your own noise toys, and pre amplifiers, and linears, and calibrating radios. The website is called All About Circuits.

Most of the regulations set by the FCC are more to set the industry standards for production. If you want to learn more about radios, I would start learning about electronics. A good place to get your feet acquainted with some of the terms is to study those semiconductor datasheets that you...

I was just being funny before, but if I'm not mistaken, I think power dissipation is a different rating than max power output. It's generally pretty easy to locate the datasheets for the semiconductors that list their ratings.

In legalese "of all semiconductors" could be argued either "each individual", and not just total. "Of each transmitter" does not disallow the use of multiple transmitters per CB. Now...how to get all those transmitters to equal 1.5KW?:confused::blushing:

What's wrong with just getting a linear?

I mean a display that I can change from blue (during the day) and red (at night).

How true. The sky is the limit when considering your options to really annoy people using a radio. I wonder if you could start a new thread, and post it as a clinic to all the new people entering the hobby, and get them all well acquainted in this, and call it. BEING A MAJOR A-HOLE...
