I HAVE A BASS GUITAR AMPLIFIER AND I WAS LOOKING INSIDE OF IT AND THINKING IF IT COULD BE CONVERTED INTO A CB AMPLIFIER??? IS IT A MAD IDEA OR WOULD IT INDEED BE POSSIBLE. WOULD THERE BE TOO MUCH WORK TO BE DONE TO IT. THE QUESTION JUST CROSSED MY MIND AND I WAS WONDERING IF ANYBODY ELSE HAD...

Hi Robb, Thanks for your quick reply. I'll have to try to find a reliable technician to send it too, to get the fine clarifier sorted out for tx/rx. Thanks again Robb.
Hi I recently purchased a SS 3900 EFT which is the same as the Ranger 158-EDX according to what I've heard. I was working a local station about fifteen miles from me on ssb and at one point the station I was talking to said that I was off frequency. I tried to get back on frequency and I used...

I RECKON THAT ACRYLIC PAINT WITH NO METAL INGREDIENTS WOULD BE THE WAY TO GO. I'LL GET TO DO IT EVENTUALLY. :thumbup:

Thanks Duster and Lil Yeshua ~~ the cammo paint seems like a good idea and so I'll go for that. Duster I never thought about fungal issues or problems from Ice or Condensation in that area, so thanks again for...

Would it be harmful to the antenna if the section that has the coils (that are coloured RED) were to be covered with a plastic sheeting for waterproofing purposes or would it make no difference at all for RX/TX??

Hi Booty monster, Thanks for putting the link to CBRADIOMAGAZINE'S review of the Maco v5/8 antenna. Its another way to go for sure, but I will have to see how much it will cost to get one across the pond to me...

Thanks Needle Bender for that info. I haven't got the antenna yet but if I do manage to get one, I'll have been pointed in the right direction for getting the correct swr's and tuning wont be the problem that...

If it proves too expensive too get the SPT500 then I may go with a tornado or something similar. It would be nice to buy one off the classic antennas in the cb hobby. We'll see how it goes. Best 73's.........

Hi BM, I dont have the antenna yet. I was asking the questions to get an idea as to what it was like to tune etc etc before I made the purchase.....Though Thanks for your reply also

IROCK817 your right as regards the way to tune it. It seems to be what Eastman did and thats the way I'll go if I do buy a 500 spt. Thanks for your input too.

Ok I read a thread by Eastman at the bottom of the page on this thread. He said that he ajusted his antenna to 22 feet and he got swr's that he was happy with. He has his approx 40 feet on a mast so thats both...

Thanks RADIOOMAN, I took a look at the CB tricks site and saw the instructions for assembling the antenna, but no instructions on how to tune it. I'll look around the for other threads on this antenna and...
Stryker SR955 HP Views so far
Thanks for all the replies so far. I decided to let the thread run to see how many viewpoints came across and it appears that some are happy with it and some are not. I watched some videos on u-tube and I thought that it looked good and could like most new radios...
How is the SWR on a Hy-gain SPT 500 reached. Is it a difficult antenna to tune. Does it need to be mounted above 20 feet to function properly. Would it be a good antenna to purchase?? Thanks folks.
SKYPPER ELEMENT SPACING
Hi if it's any good to you why not try the good folks @ All about antennas and they may have the measurements to help you get the best signals to and from your Skypper Antenna. Hope this helps.
Hi Ya'll Does anybody know anyone who has got the above radio. How is it for SSB stabilaty, any known drift issues. Any issuses at all. Does it have to be peaked and tuned or is this done at the factory? The beeps dont bother me as they can be turned off. What I'm looking for is what are people...
DONT WANT NO STINKIN ATTENNA ON MY CAR
When did antennas start to stink?? New one on me. Personally I'D go for a Sirio Performer 5000.Use with a magmount or drill a hole in the metal. Looks way to good for that kinda car but who knows !!!! Of course that Sirio might get you out too far---...
