Roger that, 3025! Hope to hear you out there.

President McKinley USA Mobile Radio, adjusted for 100% modulation. (It came off the assembly line with 80%.) Radio has variable RF Output. .5W to 3.8W from the factory. Turned up to 4W to 18W variable output. Solid radio, packed with all the features including the most innovative onboard SWR...

I run a four Watt dead key into mine swinging to 16 with crazy modulation from a power mic, and that amp screams. I am cooling it off an A/C vent, so maybe I'm extending it's life, but a while ago I took my rig into my local CB shop to give me an assessment on my setup, and he said the amp loves...

Okay. Im done. Go ahead, and put a 4 foot fiberglass whip with a 2.5 SWR on a bracket above the spare tire and enjoy being able to talk for 1/2 to 1 mile. The only place to put an antenna on a Wrangler without adjacent metal blocking half of your signal would be to mount the antenna directly to...

Borrowed photo. IMHO that is the best setup for a Wrangler. Next best would be off the rear bumper (if you care about hitting trees). I've seen 102" whips mounted over the spare tire with some kind of bracket as well. When I had my two Wranglers, I ran my 102" whip off the rear bumper and got...

He has a Wrangler. Not a Cherokee. There's no place for a magnet mount on a Wrangler. Looking back at my original reply, I would revise my statement, and say the best spot for a 102" whip would be a ball mount, and a six inch shaft, mounted above one of the rear wheel wells.

Learned something. Thanks, M0GVZ

A fan of President Radios can not pass up the new McKinley mobile radio's. Best CB I've ever owned. Blows away any radio on the market today. I'll take it over anything I've ever had, including my Motorolas, HyGains, or Cobras. It's turned down at the factory, but very easily opened up to it's...

No doubt on that mic. It gives out the most modulation I have ever heard . Favorite mic of all time! Loudest, most obnoxious mic of all time.

Just curious, why horizontal, and not vertical?

Short antennas on Wrangler style Jeeps are hit or miss. In my opinion, a 102' whip with a spring mount off of the rear bumper (if the bumper is steel, and is connected to the frame) is the best setup. Reasons: 1. 9 feet off a low Jeep bumper is not that tall and outrageous looking. 2. Slap on a...

So, are the regulations on setting up a Base Antenna (Imax 2000) in public places? I found a steel plate that you drive one wheel of your car over, with a shaft for an antenna mast. I think it would be a blast to, let's say, run an Imax 2000 on 20 foot of mast somewhere like a park, or more...

Wow! Nice! I'll tell you something interesting about that radio. I had one around 20 years ago. Same exact radio, except it was called the Cherokee CBS-1000. The CBS stands for Cherokee Base Station. I think I paid 350.00 for it. It was a very nice radio. Wish I still had it. I'd like to learn...

When I say h Okay, sounds good. My closing argument is that ragging on CB'ers for any reason is kind of silly. CB is the radio jungle. It's a "special blend" of everything that can hit you. Well, that's just it. Too many hams coming down to the CB page and I've got no problem with how you...

I promised myself I would stay clean and civil on this very cool website, and I'm doing my best, but when I see hams come over to the CB chat, and start talking junk about legalities on 11M, I want to react. However, the better approach is, instead of saying something nice and stupid, it's best...

Q Oh, no. Not the CB Police again. I'm out. Like a polyester suit.

We all have the sound we like, dude. He uses a radio studio console, so he has a great audio frequency range. Your over the top trashing of him shows jealousy on your end. Just look at his station on his website. You probably don't know what half the stuff is.

A 1/4 wave ground plane has a higher angle of radiation than a 5/8 wave ground plane or 7/8 wave vertical. If you are in a valley, are amongst sprawling rolling hills, or you are surrounded by mountains that are higher than you, a 1/4 wave ground plane will provide a better chance of getting...
