    Do you really need 18 ft multiples of coax to tune your antenna?

    I recently put up a new Star Duster with 50 feet of Times Microwave LMR-400 and temporarily hooked it up in the basement and had a 1 point nothing SWR needless to say I was very happy about this install so far but rerouting the input from where I wanted to bring the coax in from out side left me...

    RM KL-203 and Repair

    LiL Yeshua: I'm glad to hear they do that much. Mine literally makes the difference between contact and no contact. In these NY mountains you can talk 50 miles in one direction and 1/2 mile the other way and it seems we are always in "the other way" lol My Tacoma is also a 1999 TRD. I like the...

    patriot pat-12 antenna problems

    I also had a Patriot 12 antenna and had high swr's also and the tuning rings could not adjust it down to a workable reading. When I bought that antenna I was just getting back into CB's again and went by price over performance. I have since changed my antenna and no more Chinese coax and I have...

    Galaxy DX 959 opinions

    This 148NW I have not heard much about and yes the 959DX has a few extra things that are nice one being a freq. counter but I sincerely don't think you can call a side mic 148GTL compared to a 959 or any radio that is a 40 channel SSB compared to the 148GTL and the 148GTL will be reduced to...

    Every day Spanish skip.

    I am not into skip talking to much but decided to see where all this Spanish talk on my radio is coming from every day here in N.Y. but this would be hard for I speak very little Spanish practically none. So I fired up everything and started trying to make contacts on am on very crowded...

    Wiring for a 526T to a Cobra 148

    I have been using the 4 to 5 pin adapter jacks mostly because I am not so good with soldering and they are about five dollars. I think "cb tricks.com" has the wiring schematics.

    SWR's up with 10ft. ext.

    I miscalculated a recent antenna install "base" by ordering 50ft.of LMR-400 and ended up needing 60ft. When temporary set up in the basement I had a perfect swr of 1.0. I later lengthened it with a barrel connector and ten more feet of LMR-400 all connectors etc are factory and supposedly top...

    148GTL face plate & diamond plate covers

    Had this for a while and finally did it. I like the aluminum diamond plate,it's a keeper. The face plate I don't know especially since underneath it is a unblemished face plate. Well if anything it's a protective cover for the original.
