    Triple Zero is making a racket right now on 27.205 am (ch 20). And he got down right there. Again.

    MIC STUDIO SOUND HELP

    But you can make the audio sound better than it does with a cb style mic. The radio of course does matter: The 2995 I have can pass from 400 to 5000 Hz. My cobra 29 does from 300 to 3000 Hz My Galaxy 2547 only does 300 to 2500 Hz A cobra 2000 does from 300 to 3000 Hz This is an...

    Dead Galaxy DX2517

    I think that feature is there for commercial use - think warehouse with a PA system that also uses cb.

    So I have a 2995DX on the way . . . . which amp?

    No "key" included. Again, not sure that technology is still being used.

    Chinese aircraft carrier design leaked

    "I don't know where you get your stuff in Canada but, if I were to go home today and throw away everything with a "made in China" or other asian country label on it there would be nothing left except my dogs and a bag of potatos." I'd still have: - all my cars - all my tools - all my...

    Amplifier Power Connection

    That amp draws 4 or 5 amps dk, don't think I saw it get past 10 on peaks. 20 amps more than enough.

    2995DX - Frequency Counter Port = RF Sample Port

    The Ranger 2995dx has a port for a frequency counter. Does anyone have the radio and knows how this works? Is this a full RF Sample port (RX and TX) that a scope can be connected to? Or is it TX only? Hard to tell from manual.

    Would a tube amp help vs transistor? If so why?

    just some useful info on different shops

    The rating system is arbitrary. And even in those defined categories the rating itself is arbirary. Example - gives Bells 3 stars because they are "expensive" and he has an old site. Personally, I dont care about the site, although a newer sie does look more professional. I care about decent...

    Neighbor complaining about noise in his surround sound system . . .

    New filter in place. Turned down modulation well under 100%. I'll check with him this weekend to see if he heard anything. After that I'll give him or help him install chokes around the surround sound amp . . . . after that . . . . .not sure.

    Neighbor complaining about noise in his surround sound system . . .

    How do you make one - I have a few coils at base of antenna, not sure it qualifies As a choke.

    Neighbor complaining about noise in his surround sound system . . .

    stock radio 3 swing 8 maybe and a 2 pill with 2290's - based on my watt meter I wasn't over driving it as far what it is supposed to do. Max watts out were about 150 or so with a 50 dk out the amp. Neighbors house further from antenna than mine, at least 100 yards from antenna. No interference...

    Neighbor complaining about noise in his surround sound system . . .

    Added an inexpensive low pass filter I had laying around, marginal impact to SWR. Not sure it helped. Also ordered one that was highly recommended on hamnet - bencher ya-1 which I will swap in when it arrives. Other than that anything else I can do on my end? Antenna make a difference...

    Base station help

    I was thinking in terms of improving what the baseline is. I agree none of things are optimal but they will work to some extent and most likely better than what is in place now. For instance, I've run a mag mount off a filing cabinet, wasn't as good as an IMAX 2000, 50 feet in the air but...

    Base station help

    Recommendations: - put the antenna outdoors on the biggest piece of horizontal metal you can find, top of ac unit or as someone suggested, a cookie sheet. - alternately switch to something that doesn't need a ground plane, A 108" metal whip, fiberglass antenna etc and mount outside - dipole...
