How do yall have your 108" whips mounted to your toolboxes? In the middle? In the lid? In the back? On the side? Ball mount? Bolted mirrior mount? Bored a hole in the lid?
Type of toolbox? In bed bolted to the bed floor? Crossover bolted to the bed rails? Nuts and bolts or sheet metel...
I would like to look into an analyzer because just like everybody else I want to get most out of my setup. And SWR meter only tells part of the story. The AA-600 RigExpert is the only one listed in the "Product Reviews" forum. As of right now I am unlicenced only use 11meter. But when I get...
Well I had my Stryker in my 2001 Z71 with a Wilson 5000 mag mount. Im not a tech so I will keep it simple. On AM... May as well have superglued my fingers to the RF Gain knob becuase it would need constant adjustment. Not that it mattered because a little to the right and everything was...
Ive done a forum search and have turned up nothing. Is there a safe way to run two radios on the same antenna without a manual antenna switch?
Im thinkin of gettin a Galaxy 979 for a general all around radio, and using my old junk cobra 29Wx St for weather.
If the cobra was used for WX...
I gave a buddy of mine a ride to work one day and that Waylon and Willie song came on the radio"Good Hearted Woman". His dad drove truck and he said "haha. That song...that was my Dads CB handle". I said "Good Hearted Woman".??? "Noooo... good TiminMan!!" He said.......
The 10ga is a ten ft run. It is fused with a 40A Maxi fuse at the battery. The two wire/three pin plug in the the back of the radio is 12ga (factory) and has been cut to about a ft long. It has 10A glass fuses in both the hot and the ground wires at this point (in the 12ga section) and the...
Still having the same problem with all the same symtoms.... Its been installed in two more trucks... 86 chev with 10ga straight to the batteryand a Siro performer 5000mag and a 98 Z71 in the cig lighter with a mag.
Any new thoughts??
Im saving up for something else...
I run a Siro Performer 5000 with the 145 mag mount on top of the cab on my truck. Best setup Ive used so far. My last one was a pre- Barjan Wilson. Hard mount might give better performance yet... But with todays thin sheetmetel vehicles I definetly wouldve ripped a hole in my roof by now. I...
Any one have any experience or opinions about the Everhardt Tiger base loaded whips? 6 in wound fiberglass base and a 4 ft steel whip.... for $22 it seems interesting....:cool:
Just my experience ... I had a Cobra 29 NW ST WX (or whatever order those letters are in) tuned by GI Joes and it was a good little radio. I liked the recieve on it better than on my Stryker 955 that I have now. The Stryker is more sensitive and recieves more signals but is really noisy at...
If it were mine... Depending on how much power I needed..... Slapping a high power alternator in place of the the stock one is gravy work and in most cases get the job done. As for running a second batteryi would suggest sticking with the same TYPE of battery your vehichle came with ( depending...
Cool project. I would be curious about the amount of ground plane that bumper can provide. Please post your future experience with this project. :thumbup1:
My Cobra 29 NW WX ST is stuck on ch 19 no matter what you do... Using my backup Uniden 78 LTW for now. Its collecting dust for now but I hope I can find the time to try this and see if it fixes!!
Wouldnt having more magnet surface area improve the RF ground coupling to the sheet metel? I figured it would, but I dont know. This might be worth researching.
If you were half as intellegent as you think you are, you could find a way to convert those measurements yourself. Just becuase the majority believe one "way", that doesnt make it the better "way" The world is round you know. :lol:
Well for that price range. The Raptor II and III hit the market recently and havent heard much bout them other than their specs are look like they might fit your needs. How bout a review??:whistle:
