Too bad he didn't have a gun to protect himself. For those in the US get used to that, uselessly chatting on the phone with the police while someone trys to kill you will soon be the norm here too.

Center channel speakers and front/rears from old surround sound systems do ok as external speakers. Right frequency range and all that . . . .

Thanks. Right now an Imax 2000.

Handheld CBs in a car are barely line of sight (can you say faraday cage?) Antenna needs to be on the outside of the car. In the case an alternative would be a bullhorn, cheaper than CB handheld with no external antenna and probably talks further.

Imax vertical, dipole horizontal.

I would but they were all lost in a tragic boating accident.

Did some quasi scientific testing . . . . Tip top of IMAX level with plane of dipole hung in attic. Locals hitting me at 9 using the IMAX, barely moving needle on dipole. IMAX outside, about 75 feet from house. Dipole located in attic. Other than feedline and antenna, all else...

What else do I need to buy? I have a tuner - do I need a keying interface?

Want to be able to run it on 110v so that limits it some. Say $1000?

Dead key I believe 5-50 watts. Consensus of the locals is that a tube amp tolerates more and gives a cleaner signal in terms of bleed over and interference problems - suggestions for a tube amp for the RCI 2995DX? From what I read so far, it should not be a "sweep tube" type - so no RM...

Two questions . . . . Not trying to be a smart ass. Question - if the 200 is garbage why make both models? And At least on amazon, the 200 sells for more than the 203. Why?

Dacron is nice . . . . as long as you don't live anywhere with squirrels. Little buggers made a habit of chewing through mine.

I painted my IMAX grey . . . . . . disappears in the trees.

I was thinking of going with the bigger box and not running it wide open; crank it back a bit. But it seems like good practice to have everything set up for knobs turned all the way to the right. The 400 idea sounds interesting though; using the more effective power level means fewer...

I'll be running a 2547 and I guess I'll just turn down the power. Guys are telling me I need an 80 amp power supply though - you didn't trip the 50?

Look up ram mounts. They have a laptop mount that bolts to the passenger seat bolts with a post the comes up. Mount a different platform on the post (they make a universal one for ham equipment) and you are good to go. Maybe $150 though. Other option is this...

Guys at the quack shack seem to have them for a reasonable price . . . but I know what you mean - 667v plus an 80 amp power supply comes in around $700. That's why I was originally looking at RM - seemed a bit cheaper but not all that much. Maybe $50 or so all told.

Issue for me was the length of the whip - having that big whip from the 1000 or 5000 on top of an already big pickup . . . . well I might have to hang a warning light on it for airplanes. I like mine but no basis for comparison Vs the other models.
