I do have something goofy going on when receiving LSB. It acts like it is receiving a 3 lb carrier all the time, rest of the modes are fine. I still use it on 38 lsb, been talking on it all day but I am sure I cant hear the weak stations.

I have been hanging in the garage today and thought I would snap another pic of what the station looks like today.

I run a FL2100b and it seems to only be doing 300 watts on sideband. When I tune it, the watts are around 500 or more. I use a Dosy meter, kinda hoping the meter is not reading PEP accurately.

I say buy your 858 Madison, listening to my old Washington is a pleasure. In fact I bought a spare.:)

Well I own the Old President Washington with the 858 and the newer Uniden Washington both and the receive is much quieter and better sounding on the old style. just sayin.

This is becoming a sickness, now I am also running a President Washington with a Turner + 3 b. :tongue_smilie:

Actually that is a Miller High life in a Corona can cooler. I dont drink much Corona although I do have some for those that will, bottles though.

That what I thought KW4HKY was alluding too. Since I purchased the rig already modified I did not "ruin". And I also mostly talk on SSB and the rig hardly gets warm.

Oh is that what he means? I dont think so either in this case. There is a ceiling fan in the garage running all the time and there is a big open space here. Cigarettes may harm electronics if a smoker is in a closed non ventilated room and being chain smoked directly on but that is not the case...

Whoa. why "another good rig ruined"? I bought this rig as it is and have not damaged it? Actually it is in really good shape.

Another "guilty pleasure" :sad:

:sad: My friends come over and laugh at me because i have a radio in my garage. I have enjoyed CB for many years, a guilty pleasure I guess.

Oh yea, that Feq is is my new hangout, I love it. I am 395 from Wisconsin. I will never leave that frequency. I am finally having fun on CB :D

God that was fun, talked all around the World today. I found my new frequency! I am off the key now. What a fun day.

Yep. Thanks for the welcome, my only other CB buddy and I have been jabbering to one another on that freq. And many of the operators are educating us in triple nickel etiquette.:unsure:

Well I guess it is for me, I dont listen up there much...just sayin.

I have been hanging out in my garage for last couple of days listening to 27.555 for back ground noise. This frequency is crazy. Conditions must be good.

As an ex truckdriver I ran lots of radios and antennas in trucks. Mag mounts wont work if you have an aluminum cab like many trucks these days. Unfortanelety the mirror mounts these days aren't very accessible for decent mounting systems either. Also the coax they use is subpar and the routing...

I also run one of these antennas, they work great but don't buy the push mast they sell. It buckled with light winds shortly after I installed it. The antenna appears to be fine though, luckily nobody was standing under it when it came down.
