amplifier That antenna should cost anymore than my 5 element 11 meter antenna to ship. I think UPS shipped it.

cb amp The amp checked out 1:2 to 1. I have to have it turned all the way down on the variable or it causes my shack to go crazy. I've got to check my coax and grounding. I've opted for a better antenna on 20 meters and i'll try to get a yaesu amp or an sbe 220 on ebay. Yaesu makes a matching...

part 97 Well you know what i'm thinking?? I have a Magna Force 900 and a joker 16 pill for sale or trade for an Icom hf or a Yaesu hf radio. It's going to be a time of adjusting from CB to Ham.

amplifier well I didnt want to get into fcc certifications but the transistors are rated to operate in those frequencies. As far as filtering I'm sure the amp is not up to ham standards. If I built an amp for 20 meters it would have to meet the fcc requirments of not being able to reach it's...

limiters I think alot of the reason that some operators and techs and hams want clean radios is that a radio full of harmonics do tend to bleed into other channels including other bands. I was trying to DX one night and i was using a Yaesu 101b on 38 lsb. I turned on the old Firebird 500 for...

I reinstalled the tr53 limiter and i have used the stock mike and a road king 56, an astatic noise cancelling mike, a barjan mike, an sbe mike, and several others. I do tear it up on AM and that's the only mode the 99 is good for. My Cobra 142 GTL works great on ssb and AM. Anyways I got my...

I just got my general ticket a few days ago and i have built a 20 meter dipole and got it at 1:1. I have had trouble getting any qso's. I am using a FT101b properly tuned. Well I tried my Magna Force 900 on 20 meters and it made a big diffrence. I just had to cut down on my mike gain alot. Can...

to clip or not Well I gave the radio a tune and i'm happy to say I left all limiters intact. The modulation was loud just by turning the VR. the radio did 5 watts swinging to 8 on my old radioshack meter. The guy was real happy and he got good reports. I have heard some radios around here where...

Can anything be done for the Galaxy 99's transmit tone and quality on SSB? I get reports of a high pitched audio with no lows. I have tried several mics. Also the radio seems to be hard to tune right on and drifts. I remember someone posting about some agc circuit modifications. The 99 transmits...

thanks Thanks for that info

I have been to cb tricks.com, the defpom radiomodz, etc and i can't find a vr tuning chart for a uniden pc78xl. Anybody know where i can get that info?

glad there is no code I'm still alive and kicking. I am a General now and yes i am glad there is no code!

Quad vs Yagi My M105c seems to do just as well as my 4 element quad. With the Quad I had to do alot of maintenance as we have strong winds here in NM. My Yagi is holding up well but the windy season is not here yet. I switched my tower to a fold down so I can do maintenance alot easier. Wish I...

New Gear I will soon have new picks of my mobile and my base setup along with my M105 with my Maco 5/8 wave on top.I've been busy!!

clovis to lubbock We should try to talk from clovis to lubbock sometime. I can do about 2000 bird watts on a 5 element maco flatside.

Best Base Antenna I love my Maco 5 element flatside, and my quad four for CB, and a G5RV with a tuner for ham.

coax DTB is right if you want to try to give your swr meter a halfwave to read, but use what you ever length you need for your install. A 102 inch whip with a 6 inch spring shows good swr with just about all lengths of coax. As long as your antenna is resonant for the frequency you talk on you...

WOW Highlander is getting down to business!!!!!

Ham Police I think some people just want to make life miserable for someone else. Most hams I know, including myself just love to talk on our radios. Sure I run 11 meters, And sometimes pump it up, but I know when and where. I don't go crazy and over modulate and run 4000 watts pep. Just on ch...

Was that you? Was that you I talked to on the bowl last night. I just came home and found out my tube box was broke so I tried it barefoot and got the bear. Ch 6 I go by 161 from NM
