    Connex 3300hp. couple questions from the new guy.

    That makes more sense amp wise. I’ll probably keep the connex around but amp my uniden Grant xl because I don’t need a crazy amount of watts. The Grant can swing 15 watts but I can turn it down to a quarter watt for a small amp. Still totally agree with the antenna upgrade. I just didn’t...

    Connex 3300hp. couple questions from the new guy.

    I will agree on clean. I don’t really care for some folks on the radio thats blurred through 4 channels and sound like crap. Ive actually been thinking on a maco V58. I have in storage an Antron 99 with a fire stick on top. However I don’t have a way to set the standard wave for the antenna...

    First thread and need help.

    Hello, I have a bunch of radios i need to work on and I’m still learning. I’m still diagnosing with a lack of tools. My current radio that just decided to stop is a Philippine uniden Grant xl. The situation: I was running the radio last night and I was receiving well. I had some locals out...
