One of those would come in handy.. that would take a lot of guess work out.

How do those analyzers work? I seen some guys on you tube do a comparison with base cb antennas. They just showed the numbers and said " there is is".

That's crazy how things affect tuning...I have achieved immaculant SWR for now..at least 1.6 or so.

I never liked physics anyways...I'm not trying to take away from this mod...but i tuned my antenna for 11 meters before and it was good...but it was also on my truck in the shed..then when I went outside it was high. So I put new coax made sure ground is good but it's in the barn...hopfully when...

Ok. 2m 70cm was fine..its the antenna. It's just narrow banded I think. Im trying to get 11,and 10meters on a k40 stick..I got it tuned down on 11 now

Idk..I've put new coax and made well sure my ground is good...I did have to run my power wire next to the coax through the door post???

I modded my 857 and I manually put in offset all works great..but that's all I know..I've never had a radio with ARS..now I just need to find out why I cant bring down the swr on 11 meters

This is kind of off topic for this site.Does anybody know of a good AM receiver radio antenna to get up in the air ??

Just mars modded my ft 857d. Wow those pins were small..all seems to work good. Just need to figure the rest of the radio out now

Can you bring the wattage back up in the hidden menu. I just bought this radio and havnt done the mod yet...im thinking of putting switches on the jumpers to change it back to factor specs..i havnt even opened the box up..maybe its to small to solder something like that.

Most ovet the road truckers dont use cb's anymore. Either they dont speak english or its pointless conversations and turn them off..alot of local guys still run cb for gravel hauling and other dirt work. Im getting my base going again.

Thanks robb. Ill try that. It was a cheapy counter anyways...but im sure it worked till i got ahold of it

Ok thanks..hope the counter isnt fried..i have the scematics for the radio, ill try to find the heterodyne

Does anybody know how to hook up a frequency counter...i bought a cheapy chinese freq counter..put a bnc to pl259 and plugged the coax from my radio to counter??? Nothing started smoking...but had crazy frquency fluctuation

How can i make a fixed bias????

Thanks...sounds like ill have to do alot of work in order to not burn this thing up. Maybe when i get a better understanding of how to work on this stuff ill try to change the bias...can you explain what bias is...ive been trying to find info on the different kinds but i just see really...

Hi everyone...im new to this site, i dont want to beat a dead horse but does any body know how to put a ssb delay in a pdx-400.
