The S9 175 is what I am looking for. I need the AM modulation, been there before without it and was not happy. The 2970n2 could do the job too but I not feeling the controls. The Omega is just a tad under powered for my taste. I am used to pushing 4 2879's. I always thought that the Magnum...

Yes this looks like a good choice with the stronger audio on the am side. Not really a fan of the 2970 button controls anyway. Guess some drift is present with all except for the ham rigs. I have hood mixed reviews regarding the Top Gun way back when it first came out. Have these issues...

Nice to talk with you Robb. Thanks for the suggestions.

Ya I understand that the amp chain is a compromise with side ban involved. I learned that with the Jackson which had terrible am modulation.

I previously had a Corbra 148 GTL Philippines built and a Black face President Jackson. Since I have been strictly AM. Thinking about getting back into side band. I have a Styker 440 now for AM. What are some of the top dual mode radios available now. The 148 was solid without drifting the...

Get them above as suggested and it may help to tilt them forward just a bit if you have stacks especially dual. Not a lot mind you but maybe 7 degrees or so. it did with my set up using two predator 10K's with 17" bottom shaft, dual coil.

Actually the antenna is different as is the coax. Same brand coax and went from a regular Predator 10K to the Comp model. Both have the same length bottom shaft of 22in. and both are tuned at the same length for same freq. I have another coax, new, that is already assembled with the ring ends...

I used to see R50 and X0. Now I can only get R57 and X0. I can adjust a bit to get a R53 X5. Which should I go with. I get very small reflect on the cheapo meter at the R57 X0 spot, maybe 1/5 of a watt at 150 DK Antenna is a predator 10K comp mounted via magnet mount on a 4 Runner. I...

You want a fuse at the radio to protect the radio as well as at the battery to protect the car. I used a circuit breaker at the battery end that would switch back on when safe. Transfers use them for the battery in the trailer box. It can over heat on an up hill pull but will turn back on when...

Thanks!!

Well I appreciate the reply. I know you both have been around the corner, so to speak. I know that some radios can monitor another channel but I have never seen the scanner feature incorporated either. He seems to think it was a Ranger model. Thanks again for the help!!

Friend is looking for such a beast. He says he saw one once. Any information? I searched but have come up empty.

Higher the better with the coil. If running power your get a lot less reflect the higher the coil sits. Also know that if the coil gets out of shape your swr will change. Try and keep the overall distance the same between the top and bottom coil, in other words don't let the coil expand or...

Not sideband although one is in the making.

Sounds like the same issues I have with my Peterbilt /Ascert c15 Cat set up. Believe me the RFI is coming through the antenna system , not the coax. Take the antennas off and the noise is gone. I have researched this for year and a half, so far not fixable. By the way if you want you can...

If I disconnect the antenna system the noise isn't present. Yes I have some DC type noise but the noise switch on the radio takes care of most of it. I do believe I have RFI being picked up by the antenna system. All the Acert Cat motors are showing this RFI. At least the handful of...

OK fine. What can I expect to see TX wise. Where will these radios want to be run at dead key? Am I correct in thinking 20 to 25 swinging to just under 100. Humm, should this radio do twice the 440hp model?

Haven't seen any comments on it. DTB do you have them in stock yet?

Tell me about it! I have been chasing this problem for almost 2 years now. I actually got into and higher mileage Peterbilt ( same yr. and engine ) because it had half the RFI. Well as it turns out the engine also had an air to air leak causing a loss of power and manifold pressure. At...
