    CB stuff just not acting right

    Sound bad Sound Bad on ssb? I talked to someone and they told me I was clear. Anyway, so I should grab a dummy load? They don't seem too bad in price. Keep in mind, I'm just a teenager still learning about this stuff. :-)

    CB stuff just not acting right

    Hey again guys. I guess i might as well revive this post rather than make a new one. I'm having issues...again. When i talk on AM, i get good output now, between 3.8 and 5.5 watts deadkey, depending on channel. DK seems high for me, but i don't know what pot it is to adjust it.(bad coax was...

    CB stuff just not acting right

    It is a RM Italy KL200P. Is it possible i am overdriving it and causing it to not act right? My watt meter is a swr and watt combo. Has the little antenna on top of it. I was told these were not true watt meters, but more like a rough idea.

    CB stuff just not acting right

    I checked the power out put without amp inline and on channels 1 and 40. I went in and turned up the power after it messed up to see if it would make a difference. i'm going to try different length coax, because i hear that could mess with it too. If all else fails, i'll grab another final. If...

    CB stuff just not acting right

    Hey everyone! I have a Uniden 980SSB. I love the radio, except one thing. For some reason, i have poor power output. I used to get 4.5 watts AM and up to 13 watts SSB. Now i get only 2.5 watts AM MAXIMUM, but SSB is unchanged. What could be the issue? I have tried and turned the AM power pot all...
