    Galaxy DX-959;A State of Tune:Kitten legal or alligator on the loose?

    It was/is, just like it is "illegal" to have your antenna higher than 60 feet above the ground and to talk over 150 miles on a CB. Like i said earlier, the CB isn't "policed" near as much as people think/say it is. I'm not saying that it isn't policed at all, kit is just very, very limited...

    see morse code in the sky

    If you live in the Eastern portion of the United States and the skies are clear you can see a student built satellite flashing LEDs in Morse Code today. But don’t worry, if it’s cloudy or if you live elsewhere there are several other opportunities to see it in the coming days. This is the...

    RCI 2995DX FINE THEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thats right... use mosfets :oops::w00t::D Seriously though, mosfets have their place just like some of the toys do. A LOT of people despise noise toys and some CBers know this and use them just to aggravate. I've used my fair share of them through the 80s but now only have one, the long version...

    Galaxy DX-959;A State of Tune:Kitten legal or alligator on the loose?

    The FCC rules used to read "limited to 4 watts carrier output with 5 watts input am & 12 watts pep ssb", which meant that you would never see the 4 watts because it takes more than 5 watts in to make 4 watts out. Then in the late 90s the FCC basically gave control of the CBs to local law...

    Galaxy dx-2527 mosfet mod

    honestly, i have never had a base that would do as good as a mobile. Years ago, I thought that it might be the power supply, so I turned the voltage up to 15V on a midland and it made a difference in output but still not like the mobile with identical board on 14V. Even went as far as...

    Galaxy dx-2527 mosfet mod

    The board may be the same as a 2950 but, the last time I checked, a 2950 did not come with a weak built in power supply. That could explain why it says on the modification sheet that it isn't recommended.

    Galaxy dx-2527 mosfet mod

    Don't understand why you're wanting to butcher a working radio... to each their own i guess After looking through the mod sheet at Bennies site, it says that it's not recommended to put mosfets in the 2527 because of power supply issues, but the mod is still shown. Bennies one stop CB info...

    little wil power handling

    When the Lil' Wils were first introduced, several friends tried them out and they worked OK. Back then the Silver Eagle 200 was really popular around here and they just would do 200W which fried the coil in many of the Lil' Wils. I think out of 10 people maybe 3 still had working...

    TS DX500V, convert to class C?

    Curious as to why you would want to ruin a perfectly good amplifier. Why not sell the 500v and put that money toward a 1x4 splatter box
