    Looking for pictures of homemade radio benches

    All of the shelving is made of cedar and the osb backing is aromatic cedar. The room smells amazing.

    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

    Make sure that the pump motor is bonded. There should be a #8 solid copper wire attached to the outside of the motor and also attached to any heater and control system or timer. I spent 15 years as a pool service tech and have seen people skip this during pump replacements many many times.

    Powermax Power Supply

    From what I understand the difference between the pm3 & pm4 is 3 stage vs 4 stage charging. So there is no difference when being used as a 12 volt power supply.

    Powermax Power Supply

    That's where I got my pm4 last week for the same price, actually had a $50 gift card so it was an excellent price point.

    Powermax Power Supply

    I have the opportunity to buy a PM-4 via Amazon and would only have to shell out $100 out of pocket because of a gift card and it'd be here tomorrow (prime).

    Powermax Power Supply

    Is there a lot of hash/dirt added with the PM4?

    Powermax Power Supply

    Looking at the PM4-100LK. Basically the same thing from what I understand as far as being run in "fixed output" mode.

    Powermax Power Supply

    Does anyone have any personal experience with using a Powermax 12V supply? I'm looking for a 100A supply and these are appealing.

    AC power line conditioner?

    MFJ-915, I have one on my feed line and it seams to work decent. As for A/C conditioners, I use them on all of my sensitive electronics in the house. Not necessarily for static issues but for the health and stability of the electronics.

    What is the SSB mobil CB these days.

    I talk every day on my 955, none of the 8 locals I talk to has ever told me that I drift. And they would tell me if I did cause they know I'm particular about such things.

    What is the SSB mobil CB these days.

    Those are great radios! The only downside is the power supply needed to supply the proper amps is a bit of a turn off to some of us. I was heavily considering one of those till I saw the amp draw.

    What is the SSB mobil CB these days.

    I have 3 different mobile SSB radios that I use as base radios. President 2510, Galaxy 959(extra frequencies) and a Stryker 955. The Stryker blows the Galaxy and the 2510 away!!! MUCH better audio and MUCH better(quiet) receive. I paired the 955 with a Delta M2 desk mic and it sounds amazing.

    Base Can you measure your I- Max 2000

    I have zero confidence that my rings are where they should be. They were very loose out of the box. If all this is true about them not being any good on 11 meter than I'd say there is a very strong case of false advertising going on with Solorcon and there could also be some heat put on the...

    Base Can you measure your I- Max 2000

    Right now I have the tuning rings locked in the position they were in out of the box. After work tomorrow I can take a measurement from the tip to the top ring, then put the rings in the actual middle and measure again.

    Also the Max2000 box my antenna came in measured out at 96" +/- a half inch for cardboard flex/movement.

    Base Can you measure your I- Max 2000

    Recon you bring up a great point and it made me re-think my previous measurements. Now.... I do have a disclaimer on this info I'm providing as I'm very sleep deprived from snow plowing streets. As I was in my previous post. I remeasured tonight. Previously I measured to the end of the...

    Base Can you measure your I- Max 2000

    Purchased this Max2000 on 1/2/20 from Copper. I have a fully assembled length of 23' 4 5/8". That is taken as the antenna was lying flat on my basement floor and straight inline with my tape measure (used to be a carpenter). The top section is 94 5/8". That is the longest section in the box...
