If you ever hear a RK-56 on a connex 4600 turbo or a Galaxy 95t-2 You would say man that sounds bad. You have to turn down your mic. gain so much it does make sense to have a this noise canceling mic in the first place.
I vote for the astatic 636L best mic for this application.
Clean...
Haven't had time to attack the problem seriously yet, but as soon as I get home from this trip I'm going to get ferrite chokes. and try them out.
Is there a electical mesurement I should go by or just get one that fits the coax size?
I"ve made sure my ground was good and put in a filter...
Is it possible to use a balun for mobile application with a 1/4 wave antenna like the 10k predator?
Is the 10k predator on a mirror mount a unblanced antenna.
will using a balun help in keeping the Rf from leaking out of a coax and causing problems with gauges and sensors in my truck?
CB shop in Eloy Az had some really long francis antennas.
Don't know if it was 8' or the amazer but they seem to be at least that long. CB shop at the 203 exit. Interstate 10. I was in there the other day.
I couldn't positive but about 90% sure it's radiated. If it was conducted wouldn't it be from the hot wire or ground. I don't believe it's conducted.
This installation is on a Semi-truck. so there is no ground plane per-say , unless it's ground planing off my trailer. In other words there...
The fix is not a common mode choke but rather a better installation...
What constitutes a better installation in a mobile situation?
Better grounding of the amp, radio, or antenna, or all the above? I've got everything grounded to the chassis
Is it grounding that causes RF to feed...
Thanks I'm going to get the RG-213 coax. and do that from the radio to amp and out to the antenna. Then if I still have the problem I'll go with the snap on ferrite's. :D
ok this is what I thought I could do with my system.
I'm mobile. the antenna is a 10k predator.
I've got mini 8 coax from radio[with a 2x2290's] to the 4pill amp. From the amp to the antenna i got rg8/u coax.
Do you think that this particular antenna is like the on you mentioned...
So RF chokes are used mainly for current running through the hot wire. Like a filter for alternator noise.
Why do they make them for coax cables then? :?:
Is it to keep RF from leaking out of the cable? :?:
I've seen different sizes of chokes. Some for rg8x and rg8u coax.
Am I...
RF Chokes how do they work?
Where do I install them?
Will it stop the problem I'm having with RF. My radio is messing with a booster sensor on my truck.
Just wondering if a RF Choke or two will help
I got 4600 turbo 12' of coax to a Fatboy amp then 18' to a 10k antenna.
Will...
If you don't know what your doing take it to a tech that knows.
you can hurt yourself. Capacitors can still hold charge even when the amp is not turned on.
Lots of people have died playing with there amps.
Not sure if a 350hd will hold that much charge, but its better safe than sorry.
I've been told and read that a top loaded antenna is the best for a mirror mount; like one use on a semi truck. Simply because it sit up higher and can ground plane of the trailer. Bottom load antennas actually work great if you got a good ground plane like the roof of a car or truck to work...
the loudest radio on the market is the 4600 turbo.
I haven't heard the 4300hp 300 yet; so I can't give an opinion on that one yet.
The 4600 turbo with a 4pill fatboy is even louder; or at least get out farther so it seem louder :lol:
Its apparent that you have not see the 10k antenna its a wonderfully build antenna. that you can play with an modify to you needs. There is no welds on this antenna.
I can say without a doubt that the 10k out performs the wilson. for one thing the 10k is widerbanded than the wilson 5000...
