I am replacing everything in my Tacoma but I am Having severe SWR problems as I noted channel 1 comes in at 3.0 swr and channel 40 at 2.5 swr This is a Browning BR-89 it has a stainless steel 16" base and about 2X4" of flat aluminum coil and the whip is stainless as well with 2 set screws...

Back in the day their was plenty of idiots on the radio and many of them were 25 yrs old and less.

I am completely replacing my current CB, coax and radio. What I am wondering about is I am using just a part of a mirror antenna mount "aluminum" for my new antenna fixed to my aluminum tool box which is just behind the rear of the cab bolted to the upper rails of my bed of the truck. It's a...

I have in the past totaly believe in "Marconi" and have followed his advice and it has turned out wonderful!

Here in up state NY and we haven't seen ice in a while thank God! It was 80 the other day and 45 today? Well any way it is gonna be in the 70"s and 80" by next week and should stay that way for a while. The skip is rolling hard we never miss a day UNFORTUNATELY and about 30 other local cb'ers...

I have found the Extreme 2018 to be the best on the NEW market in echo mics. Now I bought a Cobra 29LTD Classic that has a echo board installed in the radio that has a quality echo that just can't be compared to any echo mic in quality sound. I don't know what the maker of the echo board is in...

I was just kidding LiL Yeshua about the coax length on a base station but their is still a lot of mysteries concerning this topic.

The spring is not critical so I will not be using it. Since hearing that a spring does become a antenna basically I think a lot of people may have over looked this factor. This is a shame since I bought a Stainless Steel spring which should have longevity with out corroding but it is not worth...

Gold turds, Enriching their lives, The ignorant??? Wow this stuff seems to have hit the heart and sole for you!? Hey what do you think about base antenna coax it seems that ONLY 10 foot sections should be used !!!!

I haven't read all the posts but it seems you are running a amp into a amp not good something will burn up probably the 500 watt amp first. Also if you are serious about your radio as I think you are you need to get a fixed mount antenna. I have 2 trucks using my TOOL BOX for the ANTENNA MOUNT...

I bought a Browning BR-89 mobile antenna. It has a 16" stainless steel shaft and 2 flat coils made of aluminum and has a total length of 70". It will replace my current antenna that is mounted to my tool box passenger side. 16" is exactly where the first coil on the bottom measures level with...

You can get easily a older Cobra 148GTL remember it's got to be a side mic input basically they are all good if the mic install is on the side. They run around $75.00 sold on ebay and that is half the price of a new one and remember the new ones are nothing compared to the old ones. The Galaxy...

This is also a President radio. It comes stock with many channels lol.

I need to get over my pick up roof with a coil antenna and would like to use a spring to help soften any tree branches etc and help with a little more height and am wondering if the addition of a spring at the base radiates as an antenna which would not be good and does it change the SWR?

Holy Mackerel. The LMR-400 is a great deal and it is the best or at least right up there with the best. It's made in the US and is held to a higher degree of quality which means the copper is 99.99% copper etc not like Chinese crap that has no quality control,

I personally never had any interest in a swing kit but when I turn the wattage down to 2 watts on many of my radio's and with a audio mod they swing almost like a swing kit. Maybe this would be enough to suit you if that radio has that kind of audio swing?

I think that overall for the 148GTL this is pretty cool. Since their is no frequency counter on a 148GTL and I have never owned a separate frequency counter does a in-line counter only read out the frequency when you transmit? If so this is much better since you do not have to key up the mic to...
