yeah roger that. Who needs a huge linear. 450 to 600 watts gets you out just fine.
anything bigger would have to be a 16 pill to get a 6db gain or 1S unit.
I guess I shouldn't be giving out this secret. LoL
Oh well, I don't think to many people will be doing this mod. Since It would take alot of money to buy both radios.
Whose crazy enough to do that. LOL But if you already have both radios. HMMMM?
Don't do it. It's not worth it. LOL...
Putting the 2879's in it not worth the price. Well that's up to the individual. My Connex did 600 watts.
Now my new 98VHP does 600 watts with 4 2879's in it.
A 4 pill Galaxy imagine that. HMMMM.
let's see if this post gets deleted. LOL
I agree with DTB. I have a 4300-300 with 4x2879's in it.
It does about 600watts. 590ish. If i whistle real loud it getts to 600.
Ask GRTS about the amp board on these radios he knows about them.
CB tricks has the mod for the 2879's swap.
Is it worth the money thats up to you. You...
The 1446's have been changed to 2879's and the radio does scream! :D
With the SD1446's It did 325 watts on high and I thought that when I put the 2879's in it. I wasn't getting the wattage that it was suppose to, since the meter I was using was reading about 400 to 425 watts, but I just put...
I know this is an Aug 3 post but I felt I need to reply, since I have one of these wonderful radios.
The 4300-300 I have is doing 600 watts peak and it's just one bodacious radio. :D
I probably should keep this sort of thing a secret, since I don't want everyone to get one, :wink: but...
I'm sure what you said is all true and correct, but in layman terms and what most truckdrivers call loud is exactly what I said. They want a radio that is loud like one with 100% modulation like you stated but they also want one that will reach out and touch someone.
Also echo boards are...
I had bought some ArmorFlex coax and for some reason couldn't get the SWR on my antenna to come down to a reasonable level.
Just my experience with the stuff.
For a Semi-truck this antenna would not be quite as effecient as a top loaded antenna. With it's small shaft the load of this atenna is considered a bottom load antennna. Which is not as good as a top loaded antenna IMHO. Always try to get the load of your antenna as high as possible.
