Both of my Lincolns came from the factory with the MRF 455's in them. Which can be replaced with the 1446. And sending voice on 28.000 a no, no?

Turbo I seen the Tram 1180 coils melt when they get warm. So also check your SWR.

The Comet RS-840 is one super strong great mount. I've run a 96in tall NR22L on it. Along with my FT-2900 one awesome set-up. You really can't beat it.

The Topic is How to perform the 2sc2999 and Schottky diode swap. Not what G0HZU does, or does not know about CB radio. You Hi-jack a 5 year old thread. You really need to start your own. And many of us truckers here in America have found that this Mod does work in the real world.

But it has less than the Wouxun HT. Such as lower power and less memory channels.

I would like to welcome you and the XYL (Wife) to the wonderful world of Amateur radio. I use a Arrow antenna J-Pole and RG8x coax as a inside antenna during T-storms. It works quite well. I can hit repeaters 30+ mile with a 5 watt HT. More if I run a more powerful radio such as my FT-7800, or...

Yes, some internet stores are very good like AES, HRO, Ham City, R&L Electronics, and Universal. A very nice Dual Bander is the Yaesu FT-7900r. I run the Jetstream mobile antennas from R&L. The JTM-7505 & the JTM-7905. These are the very same as Diamond's SG-7500 & SG-7900. I also run the...

I agree with Doctor the Jetstream JTB-2 is a very good base antenna. I put one up for a fellow Ham and with his 50 watt rig he can work repeaters over 100 miles away. Not bad for a $69 Dual Band antenna including shipping here. These antennas are really made by Diamond for Jetstream. And the...

Iown several radios HT's & Mobile/Base. And I would say go with a Mobile/Base unit for your first because of the range. But for a HT it's the Wouxun hands down. It has great punch for getting into repeaters. And great little Dual Bander. Also it doesn't cost much and hits repeater that my...

It's so easy to get a Amateur (Ham) radio license they would be no need. With a license just on 2 meters you can talk an easy 25-50 miles mobile. And much more from a base. There has been some talk of the FCC even lowering CB power. And not allowing Beam antennas.

I can't really say. As for me I'd just run the grounded copper stake. It's just like the ground on your truck. Everyone is going to say what they think.

The coax is Excellent! There are much better Lightning Arresters. Such as Poly Phasers. And the Copper stake is GREAT to use. If you can pour some ROCK SALT under the soil before driving the ground stake. Good Luck!

There is also Davis Bury Flex. Remember you need the lower loss coax for VHF/UHF. And the Ringo Ranger 2's do work quite well. Your 2 meter antenna will work even better at 36 ft.

Also the Multi-Frequency step from 2.5k-100k. And 199 channel memories. They are saying in stock early October.

It looks like Wouxun is coming out with a New HT the KG-UV6D. Two Way Radio KG-UVD1

I would recommend the Jetstream JTB-1 it is the very same antenna (made in the same plant) as the Diamond X-510. It's 17 ft tall 8.3 DB on 2m/11.7 DB on 440. But cost $85. A lot of Bang for your buck. R&L Electronics 800-221-7735

The Wouxun HT's are truly the best bang for the buck. With it I can hit repeaters 30 miles away with the factory rubber ducky.

Congrats!!! Welcome to the Wonderful World of Ham radio.

Hope this helps. KB2LJJ Radio Mods Database and Manuals
