Mine behaves like all my Ham Radios, its about a 4-ish power multiplication factor, example, 5W swings to 20, while 20 swings to 80. This keeps your audio in check as well so you dont sound like a Turd with super swing audio junk sound from the old CB days of cutting limiters as such, LOL.

I know what you mean. You can trip out a PLL WAY beyond the limits of a CB radio's RF ability. Its just hard to understand why AM can do 100+Watts on 15M but only 10-14 Watts on 15M, while CW and FM do 50+ Watts on 15M. Seems as if 15M SSB should do more. This is why I was wondering if there is...

I hear ya. Its just strange it makes 100+W on AM but only 10-14W on 15M SSB. I figured it might be a bug in the HI SWR detection circuit or something when using SSB. I figured if the internal amp can make 100+W 15M AM it should do way more then what I get on SSB. No big deal in the shop as I...

So has anyone found a fix for the low power on 15M?? Mine does 10-14W SSB, 50W FM, and 100+W on AM. I have the newest model with the newest firmware. I have the SWR deal disabled as well so I can use my LDG auto tuner. Even into my paint can dummy load its still only 10-14W on SSB. I have two of...

sure I would like to hear about them!!

This is info I was looking for!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Just paid my 25 BUX, this is wonderful now!!!!!!!

I call them contesters with no contest keeping in practice! LOL. I heard Kuwait yesterday on 28.5??, he was pretty busy. I at least like to exchange working condition and such. I think I irritate some when I go into that and dont just give them a call sign and 59 report. I will also do the 59...

Why the preference for the Sirio 2016 over the Maco 5/8's??? What does it have over the Maco? Only asking because I am not familiar with this brand at all nor have I heard anyone say they use it. I am not doubting anyone, I just dont know why its better.

LOL, that thing is pricey!!!!!

Why this over the Maco 5/8's???

My brother is getting back into the CB deal. He just got a Bearcat 980SSB from Walmart DOT COM site. Figured it would have come bone stock but it does 20-25 on AM and up to 20W on SSB with 12.5V supply so its likely not bone stock. Anyway, I have not bought a vertical CB antenna in over 2...

I get up over 405 often.

I know what you mean. I normally only get to have a real conversation early in them morning between 5-7AM. Not long after that its just how you explained. during the day I only have long QSO's on 40 or 80 meter, sometimes 160 meter.

I always use silicon based thermal grease/paste, even on my custom computer builds. You are right I have seen to many with dried up issues and also thermal paste creep which is a huge issue with exposed electrical connections because some of that stuff is conductive. ALWAYS USE SILICON BASED!!!!!!!!

I am on 37LSB, 426 in the TX Bayou

I understand, I like to make and repair all my stuff as well. I see them on eBay and Amazon but they have the wire, I dont see just the jack plug by itself. https://www.amazon.com/Cutesliving-Yaesu-CT-167-FTM-100D-FTM-200DE/dp/B0DQTW8SLS/?tag=worradfor-20

That link I posted is the TEN pin!!!! Yaesu FT-950 10 Pin Amplifier Relay Cable With ALC - NEW

You can get them from CW-Man on eBay, I have a lot of his products. https://www.ebay.com/itm/315061991274?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5336136228&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1
