I just got my ticket and went to a hamfest and picked up up a rig and the mic does not work. Of course he said everything worked fine. I should have gotten a clue when he said he just does cw with it. Neither the transmit button nor the up/down work. I guess this thing used voltage and I...
I don't know where you are or how long ago you bought the property, but that stuff is not considered 'real' estate and unless it is listed in the agreement then it is not yours. It's worth over a thousand. Has the seller given you paperwork stating he doesn't want it and giving you permission...
LOL That's refrigeration tape!
We use it to insulate TXV bulbs & lines. What about heat shinking the joints? Will that hold up? Is there a substance that actually goes on the coax connection itself? Where do you put the Noalox? I want this to be the last time my tower comes down.
Let me get this straight
To do just basic ht crossbanding the key is the base/mobile unit, correct? Can you about use any uhf ht and do uhf simplex to the vehicle and vehicle vhf to the repeater?
I need to install a lightning arrestor, which I guess goes outside, so I need to splice it into my LMR400. Are crimp connectors ok or will I have to solder it?
I've been reading posts about this unit. I got a used A99 and have some questions.
A) It will be used on 10 meters so are there some tips (measurements) on how to start trimming it?
B) The two fiberglass sections have a metal joint in between them which has a rusty washer between them...

I bought mine from Rock Signal on Amazon. Rocksignal.com I ordered the wrong ends and he offered to gladly exchange it at no cost. My scanner went from 40 miles on RG58 to maybe over 100 miles w/400. Worth every penny.
Thanks for the replies
I have verified the problem is the positioning. I took my 1.1 mag mount around to the back bumper and sure enough the swr went to 5:1. I cannot use the 102 on the van. I may get a mag mount and use only when stationary. Is there some kind of kit I can get to make it a...
I got a 102" whip to trim for 10 meters but thought I'd check it with the CB before I started. First I checked SWR with my old mag mount and it was 1.1. I installed the whip (phenomenal job I must say). Bumper mount on the corner of my full size work van. Hooked up some RG8. SWR...
Me too
I am in the same situation. I have decided on the following pairs either:
Comet GP9 & CSB-770A
or
diamond x7000 & SG-7700.
Any input appreciated.
