Uhhhh... What dude. Cough cough cough coooouuuggghh?

I'll be... Captain Kilowatt the noise did change. Now I hear people yelling, dogs barking, and sirens!!!:eek::eek::eek: Posted on the run from my mobile phone.

So if I take a sledge hammer and hit the side of their house and the noise changes, I'm at the right place correct?

C.K. To cut through the red tape, what person typically handles these types of problems at a radio station?

I like this best. Funny Funny. What has been leading me to the drug conclusion is the regularity of the interference. As far as I can tell it starts and stops about the same time every day, from at least 7a in the morning to around 12a at night.

I've had RFI problems in the past in my own home and have taken care of them. I drove up and down my street and noticed a tremendous spike in RFI in front of 2 houses across from each other. Which one I don't know. And yes, IF they are growing Marijuana, they are drug dealers. This is not...

I made my station for a little less than that amount. I chose the Galaxy DX 979 (new) @$150 or less, it was the most reasonably priced radio with the functions that I wanted. I could have bought used, but my technical skills, to fix what I might have had to fix are marginal. And repairs of...

I wonder if it will interfere with the Sheriff's radio if they were to drive by?

Well I'm only a CBer, but the FCC website did not not differentiate between Amateur or CB, and neither did the "Agent I spoke with. I canvased my street and found the signal peaking into the red zone in front of 1 of two houses, about 3 houses down from mine. I'm not even about to confront...

Just noticed That one of my neighbors must have found a new way to make money during this new period of "Economic Growth" that I keep hearing about, because my radio now has around 4 S-units of noise for at least (as far as I can tell) well over 12 hours a day. My typical is usually less than...

Let it be.

Thanks, everything seemed fine, but I've never heard before that the frequencies would be different. It's good to know. 73's

When I put a 1K tone into the mike on sideband, my frequency counter reads 1K Hertz lower on LSB and 1K Hertz higher on USB. i.e. 27.3840 LSB, 27.3850 AM (no tone), 27.3860 USB. Is this normal?

I wish somebody would cut that guys coax or pull down his antenna. I've been hearing him for a couple of years now and have actually talked to him. He is the biggest waste of !@#$%^&. He uses a computer interface that keys up the radio and plays whatever annoying sounds he programs into...

I've used at least four other antennas with great results on this vehicle. I'd think the problem stems more from manufacturing inconsistencies of the antenna. Bare-bones GMC envoy, by far the quietest virtually noise-free vehicle i've tried. Also tested body panels for continuity.

:headbang Why didn't I think of that?

I enjoy listening to the Motor Mouth Maul. Sometimes he does babble a bit but for the most part he is making solid contacts and even giving very good watergates to people who ask for them. But most of all, his radio can make even my little pro510 sound like champ, sight for sore ears if you...

The spring is the radio shack heavy-duty spring, I think about 4 1/2" or so. I adjusted the length of the whip with the allen screw till it was at the very end of whip and the SWR's were still reading about 1.7 at best, which would be fine if I didn't care if the antenna was going to fall out...

I am running a Radio Shack 64" ss whip antenna on my SUV and I've heard that if you use a pot-belly spring on it, that the SWR's will improve. RadioShack Stainless Steel Mobile CB Antenna : CB Radio Antennas | RadioShack.com I've tested it with and without the PB spring and did notice...

I don't know if this is the most accurate way of "Hillbilly" tuning, but I used a 1/2 wavelength of coax (1/2 wavelength x velocity factor) 14'-10" of RG8x. My calculations may be sketchy, but I've heard that an odd multiple of a half wavelength of coax will give a decent reading at the...
