This time instead of hitting preview to stop it from quoting myself, I hit the quote button itself again, and it ended the quote, fabulous. Now I'm wondering, why can't they make a quote feature where all I have to do is "Highlight" the text (Kind of like copy and Pasting), hit the quote...

This is a test, hey Carl, I think I'm getting the hang of it. I had to hit preview to stop it from quoting the whole sentence, thats when quote showed up in brackets with a slash line / . Thanks a bunch Carl, you are indeed smart.

I'm not exactly computer savvy, but for the past few days I'm been trying to use the quote button for quotes, and I just can't get it right. Can someone explain step by step in laymans terms, what do I do after I hit the quote button, when trying to capture a quote ?. Or do I have to type the...

From what I hear, the proprietors went to the Jacksonville break for a few days time. If you leave the info that you require on their answering machines, they will always get back to you. They should be back by now.

In the mobile antenna test, puleeeeezzz test the best of the 5/8 's mobile whips, which are the 5" or 7" Skipshooter antenna, #2, would be the Everhardt Tiger (Sott-5) antenna, and finally #3, which should be the Wilson 5 and 6' Silverload series antennas (IMHO). I know that the Big coils...

Bicardi clear rum and coke, yeah, that's the ticket :twisted: .

One other thing, I think that C2's comments above sounds about 95% accurate, I mean really hitting the nail on the head. If I'm going to run a 5-10K box and higher, Mother nature has better be hanging on my every word, every time I key up, or I'm going to be pissed :x :evil: :evil: :evil: .

Just by watching other cb operators transmit, and hearing the response they get from skipland, and watching them increase their power by increments, using DC transistors and not AC tubes, (Talking from a mobile) in my opinion these are the wattage jumps: 4 watts 16 watts 100 watts 400...

All valid points that everyone made concerning this subject. I think a good all around compromise would be 400 watts pep, since the first 100 watts will make the most dramatic difference. Next would be a good beam, to direct and maximize the signal, or the best omni- directional antenna, that...

GRANT, GRANT, GRANT, GRANT.!!!!!!!

Mine too :P

I was thinking that maybe the reception is better, and that the noise floor was lowered, because of the thicker stinger's surface area. My friends use another term called "Capture area" :?: . I figured capture area refered to only base station antennas, and mobile big coil antennas. I...

Switchkit, I tried the experiment today, and replaced the wilson stinger with the predator stinger, and believe it or not, it actually made a difference. I could hear a little better, not much, but there was a slight improvement. Electrical noise from the alternator, fuel pump etc., was also...

BTW, the Predator stinger will be the exact same length, as the wilson 5000 mag mount, only thicker :idea: .

I have a Predator double coil with a 17" shaft :D . I also have a wilson 5000 mag-mount. I use the predator to shoot skip 40% of the time only because it's a hassle removing the antenna and the 3- pad mag-mount every night, to keep it from being ripped off :x . I use the user friendly...

Jesse James Dallas, Thank you for being so honest about all 3 of the antennas mentioned that you have tried. Now that's what I call, putting it in perspective :D . I didn't know that the coily, or monkey- made didn't make interchangable shafts? :shock: . Most people adjust the SWR of...

Well Doc, and 10k223, thanks for clearing that up. I especially appreciated the comments about mounting the antenna, and support strength, because in a real world I'd like to deal with as less antenna windloading as possible. :)

If anyone else can explain to me, the round coil/ flatcoil differences, please feel free to chime in. Learning as I go. 8)

No problem kale. You do produce a good product, that's why I declared it he winner by decision. I'm just curious, from what I read about the coily antennas, they have flat coils. These flat coils instead of round coils, are supposed to make the launched signal from the antenna a dx killer...
