Awesome thread! There are some extremely smart guys on here! The issue I'm seeing with my TS500v is that when I use the variable pot and cut the power back to 3/4 or less my swr's are 1.4:1 and they go down as I turn the power down. Now if the pot is wide open or the variable is off my swr's...

:laugh: Pulled some coax and soldered some connectors on... And I'm up and running! Amazingly enough the SWR is perfect. I was pumped to see that. Tomorrow ill be able to do some more testing. As for right now I just have the TRC-465 hooked up since it's my only other radio with SSB.

Yeah, I love the little radio. It's clean and compact. It was first SSB radio that was given to me by my grand dad so it's not going anywere. I would like to put a 150-200 watt amp on though. Well funny you say that. I ordered a Wilson 1000 yesterday to put on my girlfriends Jeep Grand...

I can't sleep in a completely quiet room unless I've been drinking or I'm slap worn out. I have to have a loud fan on 99% of the time. But anyways I'm hoping to have my connectors solder on this evening. Hopefully my SWR will be good and I won't have to tune too much. I only have a...

Well all the radio talk got me motivated..... I just hung the di pole up in the attic. It's a single story home so it isn't too far up there. It's facing ESE and WNW. I'll have to make a trip to Radio Shack to pick up come connectors now. ;) Now what I really need to do is score a RCI...

We put some of the perforated heat shield in our living room and will be doing the attic this winter. Pretty cool stuff but I can't remember the manufature name off the top of my head. I will more than likely put some type of insulation in the roof if I follow through with the shed idea. I...

I was thinking it would cause major interference. I'll get a pic of it and post it up. I was thinking about a Sirio Tornado but I'll look at the IMAX 2000 too.

I just had a 12'x24' shed built in our back yard and was thinking about putting a small radio station setup in it, but my only problem is it has a tin roof. Has any one out there every encounterd this and how did you overcome all of the metal? I can't run huge tower in my neighborhood, but I may...

It's very relevant to most because some shops out there are known to hack up equipment.

Have you received the antenna yet? I was thinking about ordering one.

It was a no go... The radio was about a 7 overall on appearance based on how old it wa, but it definitely was not a newer one. The search continues!

Thanks guys! I'm glad I had the chance to make this post before I went to look at it. I will let yall know what I find out! I was pumped up about this radio until now! Oh well, I'm still going to go look at it.

Yeah, sounds like it. I'm guessing the older model is definintly not worth 170?

Edit. I'm looking at a picture of it and it says RCI-2950 not RCI-2950DX. As for the version?? I have no idea. How can I tell?

Going to look at a 2950dx in about 2 hours... My post is kinda late, but I'm trying to get some feed back before I go. Here is what I know about the radio: The radio is in good condition and he received it on a trade-in. With the RF knob turned down he says its showing 5 watts and with it...

Talked with you a little while ago but not sure if you're a member here or not. Hopefully you are! It was nice to FIANLLY find some on SSB who's local! 249 Louisiana

I'll get on. I turn on my radio to 38 LSB every morning but no one is ever on. Haha I'll be sure to drop down to 16 LSB every afternoon. I usually have my radio on in the mobile between 6:20am-7:00am and 4:45pm-5:45pm. Other times I get on in the evening when I walk out to the truck. I just...

Found 2510 for sale and they guy is asking $220 for it. It has been RogerBird Tuned, set up with variable power, color changing LED and comes with a d104 M6B mic. Any particular things I should look at? I've never bought a used radio from some one. I've always been giving CB's or ran across...

My Channel selector is loose. The majority of the channels I have to have the selector positioned just right so that I can RX/TX. Still a kick arse little radio. I've been shooting skip cruising down the interstate...barefoot. :wink:
