Where is the "green glass"? The rod of god has "green glass" inside the glass tube, this one doesnt. Just wondering....

Thank you! Great info. By the way, what kind of gain would my rod of god have over a single steel whip? Would my mobile running the rod of god it be just as strong as a base station running an antron 99? (when running the rod of god with the reflector)?

Since its still "new" ill probally ask $500 without shipping which is about $200. I will let you know if I decide to sell. Pump.

The history behind this antenna: A local here in the islands picked this antenna up straight from Dave back in 1999 for $700 - $200 for shipping. He never used it and it ended up in his closet....till I picked it up from him about a week ago. I have read about this antenna thru the years and no...

First time revealed in all its glory. Here is my handmade Dave Made Rod of God 1/2 moble antenna. Cost in 1999 $500. This is the antenna that keydown functions straight out banned. Imagine this. You go to a big keydown with a 16 pill running your rod of god antenna with a reflector. Your...

** UPDATE ** Antennas from freecell came in today! (3) NEW old stock francis amazer antennas! Deals almost done fellas..... Just waiting on my antenna mounts and mic. Thank you freecell! Will be waiting for the rest of the stuff soon :)

Guys, Please demonstrate courtesy and respect toward others in this new thread. The old one got shut down because of this. Continued.... First, Id like to thank this forum for helping me get my radio back from freecell. If it wasnt for the attention here, I strongly feel that I...

Still waiting for freecell to ship my (3) Francis amazer ANTENNAS, (2) antenna mounts and (1) DP 50 mic. Will update this when he ships.

*** UPDATE *** Test of freecell's work (alignment) on my Realistic CB radio completed. In the words of the broadcast engineer that evaluated this radio "this guy knows what he is doing" Test was done on a Hewlett Packard 8921A scope. cost new: $20,000. NOTE: TX Scope and Spec. Analyzer...

I like it alot. Wonderful job. Its the first time I have seen someone use that feature in the way you did. Loud, clean audio when i need it (just pull switch out) :) Im using a stock mic but when the switch is pulled out, it sounds like a power mic. Even monitoring stations around me (mostly...

Thank you for the explaination freecell. From what I understand, you aligned my radio to specs. My kenwood is indeed NOT a piece of official test equipment and i posted my results as i saw it. The radio you did for me TRC 453 is currently in transit to a local broadcast engineer who will...

Well said! I didnt ask for a refund once because I really want those antennas, the mounts and and the mic. Freecell says he will ship soon. And you bet im gonna update this post and let everyone know when he does. Meanwhile, back at the ranch........., pumphouse is still waiting for...

I dont know the circumstances behind your dealings with Freecell, but glad to hear you got ALL your stuff back. Im still waiting for my antennas, mounts and mic that i also PREPAID for MONTHS AGO! At the very least, i got the radio back. You should see my PM box with similar "stories" with...

Thanks mole. That would explain the "uneven watts" on both sidebands. Fluke makes good test equipment. Expensive, but good.

Thank you for the detailed explaination regarding the bird readings and stabilitly of the radio. I have a better understanding of the situation. Will keep you posted with pics of the true results on the $20,000 calibrated scope. Hey, if im wrong on this I will admit it. Being in the hobby for 20...

Just wondering, Why the uneven watt output on LSB and USB? When you align, dont you balance the power output on sidebands? Someone educate me on this subject. This post is not meant to bash freecell in any way. Just meant to deliver results of my test. And thats what I did. Summary: I...

I asked Freecell to align and pump up the Realistic radio TRC 453 that I just got back from him. Im not happy with the results. Look below: Results of radio test: Alignment test- Tested aganist my Kenwood TS140S. Both radios were on for 1 hour before test was begun. Kenwood set on channel 6...

*** UPDATE **** Freecell mailed out my radio on Jan 23 and it arrived on Jan 26. Radio currently on the bench to test. Will update results *** SO FAR HE HAS SHIPPED TO ME *** (1) pumped up Realistic radio. One complaint- radio and mic reeked of cigarette smoke. (I dont smoke)...

**** UPDATE **** Freecell called me (about 15 min after this post) and will be shipping my radio out tomorrow. As far as the other equipment, we are working that out. I will update this post when the radio arrives. A good sign. Pump

UPDATE: (2) days have passed since this post and guess what? Nothing has happened! FREECELL has NOT made ANY attempt that I know of to contact me and work this out. FREECELL has NOT even TRIED to: 1. Respond to this post via PM 2. email me 3. Call me via phone. (and if i dont answer if you...
