I don't see how a large shop (that do lots of radios) would skip checking there equipment. and I left DTB a message and since I'm in PA that made the most sense.
What stinks also is my new co-workers 949 from CB world (which he is picking up tomorrow from me) is acting the same way on the front...
What I heard was that CB world is supposedly a reputable company.. I don't see how they would possibly mis-tune 2 radios.. (or numerous others over the years and no ones said anything online at all about it????)
The only tools I have are my little external meter and basic tools..
Can I just...
I got a DX-929 tuned/peaked up from CB world (wearecb) before they shipped it.
The internal meter is reading higher than it should for deadkey.
I get a 6w on lowest setting with knob and over 18w on 3/4 setting.
and the 18+w deadkey with the power knob turned 3/4 way up..
After...
Tested again.
I used the external PDC1 swr/pwr meter. I set radio at 6-7w key using that meter. Knob is at 1/4 way up.
At 1/2 turn the external meter says hair below 10 w on deadkey.
I'll stick with 6-7 watt DK.
The internal meter on watt/power setting seems off.
It says on low power 6w and...
Follow up..
I hooked up my PDC1 external meter. Got 3 1/2 w on low power and 9-10 w when turned up.Thinking the NGP antenna on my house may be giving me faulty built in meter errors. Tested in truck with normal antenna.
So how accurate is the power meter on Galaxy radios?
I'm getting this at lowest DK on built in meter.. which looks like a 5-6w.
An with the power knob 2/3 way up I'm getting this for a DK..
I don't get much power swing with the higher number..
In modulation mode I hit 70-100 modulation...
So I was on the fence for a new CB. My last was a Cobra 25 back in 2002.. which got tossed in trunk of car and got wet/rusty..
I was tossing around AM or SSB/AM radios because a co-worked wanted a CB again..
My co-worker wanted a Galaxy DX-949 with SSB.. but me on a budget opted for the...
Thanks for the links, WOW.. I tried to adjust them to the max but didn't see any live gains.. set them back to where they were.. I don't have any equipment other then a pwr/swr meter to go by.. so I was flying blind.. I may send it to DB in PA to tune up..
My uncle left me an old Sharp CB-800 (23 channel) and on the web it says L302/L303 for power and R112 for modulation.. (others say R110 and T304)..
I opened it up and.. well I don't know where to find these 'pots'.
Can anyone on here whom may have one (or something with the same board) open...
