I have an Astatic 636 4 pin and have can get a deal on a Road Devil power mic. Is there anything to gain? With todays new radios (mic gain control) is it even necessary? Also do they make that power mic in (non) flamboyant red?

So all know my on going issue with reception with my puny little radio and magnet mount antenna. I tried to upgrade today to a slightly larger antenna. Its a Maxrad 2700. Its 52" from base to tip. It has small solid stem and coiled spring. Whip starts out pretty thick and tapers as it goes up. I...
Ok thanks all I know it sounded crazy. Just didn't want to run a super long antenna. Not getting any decent reception in my area with my little wil.

I like this wireless mic but does it make you sound to amateur? Can you have a selector switch to have 2 mics connected so when you want to be low key you can flip switch and when you want more power switch to a power mic or do you have to keep plugging and un plugging?

So if the needle pegs switch to 100w setting and lets say its 100 watts the needle will be on the "1" in 100w mode? What does the F.S scale on the bottom of both meters mean?

Its an astatic pdc2. I only have a 10w/100 switch and a fwd/switch. The knob on the side will allow me to set swr scale to the set position but the watt scale I see no way to calibrate it even tho it had a set notch on the scale just like on the swr meter

I was told to put the little antenna on the Astatic so I can read power. The little Roadpro doesn't have a small antenna. Whats that deal?

I went and parked at a park and ride today. Just a few hundred feet from i95. I was able to get some radio checks from the bearcat and the connex but nothing from the brand new stock cobra 29 lx that started this whole mess. This was my intital purchase band before getting my antenna set at all...
I had placed the magmount near the front edge of my trunk lid. I am going to move it out to center. Also my coax is about 18'ft long. I have it just strung out in the vehicle since I wasn't sure how to run it. The distance from my radio to antenna is about 9 feet. Should I route my antenna coax...
I have a bearcat 980ssb. Stock and brand new. I have a lil will magnet mount and a hustler 43" magnet mount. I am only 3 miles off i95 and although I could here people no one confirmed my radio check. I was getting 1.3 swrs on 1 1.6 on channel 40 and around 1 swr on 19. Went to the radio shop to...
No I think you need to read what I said. I did not make any derogatory remarks about the repair facility. I merely stated that maybe he should of ask that question before he made a purchase. Ie, buying a car and going home then asking people if the dealership and the car are of any quality. As...
Hey all haven't picked up a cb mic in 15 years. I went into a truck stop the other day and ended up with 2.
1. Cobra 29lx
2. Uniden Bearcat 990ssb
