    Uniden Bearcat ssb/am

    Mine out of the box was under powered and undermodulated. Follow the tips here and it will help boost your signal. Ultimately it is Mother Nature that will be your best contributor to skip ! ! That radio is solid......just not very modifiable for frequencies, which is why mine sits sidelined...

    ~~* Has Anybody Installed A Lescomm 6404 Board Yet *~~

    I installed one in a Cobra 148GTL, (Vintage Version). It works great. There was LOTS of info available on that install......but I never saw anything relative to the Teaberry. Good luck ! When you get it installed you'll appreciate its capabilities.

    Fire Bird PM - 500 TS SWR/Watts/Mod Meter

    That looks like standard switches / controls on any meter I've ever seen. It should operate as any other similar meter.

    ~~* Has Anybody Installed A Lescomm 6404 Board Yet *~~

    That one I have no experience with. Best to contact Les and ask him for guidance. He was always more than helpful with tech support during my installs. Good luck !

    LOL why???

    Well, I work for GE now and I wouldn't have one. Its a collector's craze. No real performance included in that price.

    Cb channels empty for the most part.

    Here in North Mississippi its quiet EVERYWHERE. If it wasn't for skip, (which has died off here big time), I'd have nothing to listen to.

    K40 base load vs. Firestick top load

    I have the K40 trunk lip mount. I've been a bit disappointed in the SWR I get with it. 1.8 is as low as I can get it. I've had a couple before and was able to get it much lower.....like 1.1 - 1.2 range. It might have more to do with the vehicle it is on.

    Nothing in North Mississippi from 26.000 - 28.000 Mhz. Been that way for several days now with rare "openings" every now and then.

    $3 For Better DX-959 Stability?

    Bad electrolytics were all the plague. Some second rate manufacturer, (Hong Kong / Chinese variety), thought they had successfully mastered the electrolyte formula from the Japanese and went into full production. (Little did anybody know, they did NOT have the whole recipe) They were...

    president grant 2

    That radio is not marketed or sold in the U.S. It is available from several sellers in Europe however. Prices are high and you have to find a shop willing to sell to U.S. residents. I was able to get one from ThunderPole in the U.K. (you can Google them and find their site) Mine...
