...after sitting in a box for 20 years, I pulled it out to see what horrible things I did to it: I lost "all" the screws, the rubber feet, my soldering was disgusting... and I broke a screw off in the base. The screws to the base are tapped 6-24. Try finding those at Ace hardware. I drilled...

Raised and lowered this pain in the rear 7 times. I got it to 1: 2.25 when my shoulders gave out and my semi-patient helper left. With the help of a cheap antenna tuner I'm at 1:1.25 on ch 1 and after retuning 1:1.5 at ch 40 Hooray for cheating!!!! Oh and another thing...every number we...

maybe for static discharge. It's been really dry. Here are some specs for this antenna. 21.6 FEET TALL. RADIAL=4 FT EACH. TOP TUNNING; LAST ROD. If this total length is for 10M operation. How do I calculate the total length for cb operation? Do I cross multiply? "21.6 over 10 = N...

Halcon version of _? 3 horizontal Radial Groundplane ok maybe this isnt an Astroplane "CTE CB Base Antenna 5/8 Wave 3.5 Db Gain Model 242" this is made of aluminum. I have to ground the mast to get the swr set...correct?

I picked up a supposedly 5/8 wave version of the Astroplane made in Italy by Halcon. The instructions are for setting it up for 10M. I have little interest in that. The last pipe is supposed to be 34.5". There is plenty of pipe to extend another 18" beyond 34.5". Anyway...to rough set swr...

I noticed the odd wording but I didn't see anything spammy

Hi Rodger Hooks, I am new here too. As I look at the 50 some odd views of your thread and I'm the first to say hi is a frigging shame. I get the feeling there may be a couple people here that if you asked them what time it is, they would give you this answer: So welcome!!! I am glad to meet...

On a garage sale run a couple days ago I found a very strange (to me) radio. Its called a Pace Roadtalker. it only has 16 channels. The case is very plain and black. The heat sinks on the back of this mobile are enormous. It is a very heavy radio. Is this like a 2M or 136-174mhz like a...

mine doesn't have a chipswitch but there has been some programming done to it before I got it. to answer previous questions. When I key up in swr calibrate mode (little triangle) and turn the adjustment knob, nothing shows up in the display. when I key up in swr measuring mode, nothing...

Hello new guy here. I have 3 Motorola professional radio microphones that I picked up at a garage sale. I believe the radio provides power to the microphone (electret?). I doubt i caN reuse these for cb, but I wanted a better opinion

Hello New Guy here . I have been into since the 1970's. My old call sign was KLW4293. I picked up an HR2510 several years ago and haven't tried to use it. I was very happy with my Grant XL. It is very tired so I brought out the HR2510. it has been in an environmental controlled room for...
