    mosfet mods

    I think I remember what you are talking about Switch, when you say management asked for it to stop. If I remember correctly, which I may not, Happy Hammer had said that Justin was leaving the forum for good and everyone should pretty much stop commenting on him. Someone called Hammer on that and...

    Whats this coax in a fruit jar stuff?

    Let me see if I can sum up what rich is saying, and if I'm mistaken he can correct me. Basically there are three scenarios. 1. No grounding but good static disapation on the system. Charge doesn't collect due to static disapation and hopefully no lightning strike. If no strike, no damage...

    IS THIS FOR REAL ? UNIDEN PRO 177 AM/SSB ?

    Mabey they just opened it up, saw "uniden" on the board, and said "this is one of those vintage, rare, collectable, hard to find unidens."

    Upcoming "NEW TIME CHANGES"

    Well like I said, I have an analog watch so it's no big deal to me to change the time manually at all. I change the date manually 5 times a year and the time twice a year. The big deal might be that if someone's watch switches on the wrong day and they are not aware of it, they may be late...

    Uniden PC76XL

    It is a size difference. It should have read cobra 25/uniden 76 and cobra 29/uniden 78. The cases aren't interchangeable. I think I remember the only "functional" difference was extra knob for delta tune. Uniden's website has the owner's manuals in pdf format if you want the exact dimensions and...

    Upcoming "NEW TIME CHANGES"

    I use an analog watch, so this doesn't apply to me, but I am curious. Do digital watches usually adjust automatically for daylight savings time? If so, are the watch makers doing anything for those whose watches aren't compatible? I assume that those watches that set themselves by the atomic...

    Hunting a port-a-lab

    They have shown up on ebay quite a bit recently. I look under courier for a couple of models of radios that I have yet to find good deals on, but I have seen port-a-labs quite a bit.

    cobra 150 any good

    I hate those LED traffic signals! I remember not long ago there was some talk about interfering transformers (maybe in the antenna section) and what people tried to get the power company to address it. Has anyone tried to get their DOT to fix the interference caused by the strobing traffic...

    RMS TO PEP

    It doesn't seem like you guys are really in disagreement, except for terminology. Isn't this just a case of Freecell saying he doesn't condone the term RMS power and Ken saying that while it is not a technically correct term, it is the best descriptor available to get the point across with fewer...

    cobra 29 which final is better

    I think the EKL mod would be the way to go. The parts are easy to find and cheap, whereas the 1969 is getting harder to find and more expensive. Other than that, you can get similar results out of either one.

    Newbie needs help with antenna

    120 pounds of crap in a 100 pound box equals 220 pounds, now that is heavy. I can do antenna math! woo-hoo!

    CB's are coming in handy today

    bit-pit, I have a friend down there right now. She played in the ultimate frisbee world championship in Perth a couple months ago and came in fourth. She decided to stay a few more months and really get to travel around and see your homeland. She is loving it! She was telling me how strange it...

    10K vs wilson 5000 ??

    That looks like a freudian slip. They probably do buy engineers who will agree with the claims they make. I like both my wilson and 10K, but have no real numbers on either. I'm just making the point that wilson's engineers and testers are not impartial. Just because a guy builds his own antennas...

    10K vs wilson 5000 ??

    I believe the original post was asking about [predator] 10k vs wilson 5000. But somehow it became comparing wilson 1000 vs 5000.

    STRYKER EXPERT NEEDED

    I'm offended by that remark. Please don't lump him in there with us fine hillbillies, we have standards (low as they may be). Maybe use redneck in the future- they won't be offended by it so long as you type it fast because they read real slow.
