Best Antenna I brought a MACO 5/8 a IMAX 2000 a 10K and a A99 installed 2 antennas at a time with 100' of the same type Coax RG8U. at 18' and at 36' to the bottom. When out 25 miles to a test spot I used an took readings between each 2 antennas on a A/B switch at the QTH, then took down on of...

29LX I have the Cobra 29 LX LE 50th Anniversary Edition one is as yours is, a Great radio, The 29LELX I have you could hear the weather stations when it was on CB if you put a set of headphones in the ext speaker jack. I was able to tune out that signal when I gave it a real good receive...

Best ears now and then! Back in the day, I had a President Jackson that heard 160+ miles using a K40 antenna ground wave, the receive was pumped up as much as I could pump it up an was using a good pre amp on SSB. Today I have a Galaxy 2517 that I have talked Ground wave 100+ miles on SSB. But...

BM, I have tried and tested an A99 for receive and transmit at 36' to the bottom with and without ground plan radials and found that the radials changed the standing wave some an it was not as flat over the range of frequencies this antenna can cover without using a tuner. In AZ the soil is...

Marconi, Forgot on very important thing, the antennas I installed on her car was a cheap Antenna Specialist 25 dollar trunk mount 40" antenna, I may have bonded the trunk lid to the car with bonding jumpers because that was a practice I did at that time, maybe!..................Oldtimer:)

Marconi, Something that sort of backs up what I was talking about, my wife had a little Dodge Deman I think it was. I installed a 148GTL 12w SSB and I used a Big Stick in my attic in a town home in PV, CA and use to talk with her on Sunday nights when she was coming back from LV, NV on LSB...

Hi, Oldtimer here, One thing I discovered is the size and type of the wire makes a differance in gain, to me that is why an A99 out performs a I-Max 2000 a lot od times, used a .64 R/S ground plane antenna at 18' and could talk to the state line 50+ miles away on a Cobra 2000GTL from Las...

S45HP Stany, I have an S45HP and had a S45 both have very good receives, did have a problem with the Noise Blanker on the the S45HP and called Magumn and sent the radio over to Ca for repairs under warranty, now the S45HP sounds and works like the S45 that I had. Its has very good receive. I...

2970 or N2 Have an N2 it puts out 200 to 225w on peaks also have a 2995DX it puts out around 135 to 160w on peaks, they are both stock and sound very good when I talk back to wife on them. I would think the N2 would have a little better S unit reading when you get out there a ways, but don't no...

Buckshot555, I used a K30 for over a year with good results, but like you stated its not very broad banded, I was using it primaryly on CH 19 & 20 most of the time, cut down the stinger about 3/4 of an inch, had 1 to 1 SWR on about 5 channals and about 2 to 1 + on channal 1 and channal 40 on...

Galaxy 98VHP the best so far! Been running one in my RAV-4 for about 2 months, I get more flowers with this radio than any radio, or radio and AMP combo that I have ever had in my RAV. I tuned the receive in the radio for the RAV, set the gain in the radio (adjusted one pot) in the radio to...

Best 10 meter rig I have tried a lot of 10 meter radios over the last 2 years an am using an S-9 it has very loud audio and a quiet receive, if turned up it will swing to 50+ watts on AM people always come back to me first time on skip so that tells me its loud and clear. Very Good Radio out of...

3900HP I had one about nine months ago, what I found was mostly good, Good receive good output transmit, little drifty on SSB so I unlocked te fine tune so it tracked the cource, then no problem, it has a plug in the back so you can use a counter with it if you want to, the radio looks good and...

I would like to thank everybody that posted on S-9 which AMP subject, there was a lot of good food for thought, I spent the money and got the TS500 and it will just fit where I want to place it where I wll beable to use the preamp from my driving position in the rig.......Oldtimer

Would like thoughs on what Mobile amplifier will work well with a Magumn S-9 ten meter radio?

If you want good AM reception on CB get a CB with a cristal latis filter like a Cobra 148GTL has, AM & SSB will sound real good......Oldtimer

I have 2 RCI 6900F radio's would like to know the Fine tune claifier can be made to track the transmit as well as the recieve so I can tune by ear while driving, Thanks So Much...............Walterb:biggrin:

Galaxy 94HP Fan? I have a new Galaxy 94HP and it has the seal on the side of the radio, so does the Galaxy 94HP have a cooling fan inside like a Galaxy 95T2 has?????..............walterb

Galaxy 2547 Have had one an stock its was OK, Did a lot of mods to the one I had. Viagra Board, Slider, Receive mod, It all worked as it should but had to increase the slide on the Clarifier so I had the enough range on the nob from hot to cold. It sounded good on the air on both AM &...
