I made a few contacts today on a bone stock Realistic TRC-422A and a Sirio Performer 5000!
It's an old radio but, looks almost new. But, not much can be done to one to make it swing that modulation, from what I've read. I wish it could be tuned a bit. Modulation anyway.
I realize this is an old post but, how would a Predator 10k compare to a Sirio Performer 5000?
Does anyone know? Has anyone tested the 2 using everything exactly the same?
Older thread but, I have to reply.
The Tram 3500 Mag Mount and the Sirio Performer 5000 will both do as good, or better, than the Wilson 1000 or 5000, imo. I've had both and, from what I've seen, this is a fact.
Yep. Another very old thread but, I have a triple mag mount. 3 five inch magnets. All I've done to it is change the coax to LMR-240. I have had it on top of my pickup truck cab with the heavy duty barrel spring and 102 inch SS Whip at 80 mph no problems. Works great.
West coast booming in here in South Central Missouri this AM.
Made at least 6 good contacts before it started to drizzle on my end. Most on 28 and 2 on 17.
Anyway, my fun ended but, I'll be keeping an eye, (Ear), on it.
Has anyone bought from Bob's CB lately?
I know this is an older thread but, is Bob's still a good place to deal with in 2022? Are there still good techs there to do an alignment and set dead keys high and low, etc..., in 2022?
If so, I may look for my next radio there.
Thanks in advance.
Another older post but, I hope the MFJ-845 is a good meter because I just ordered one. Can anyone let me know if they have used one and, are they a good meter?
Thanks in advance.
Oh boy. Me and these old post's.
I think CB and Ham, etc...radio is respectable. Very.
It's a wonderful hobby that I still enjoy to this day.
I wish more folks would pick up the hobby. And, be decent about it. Instead of all the cussing, political, nasty talk of any kind. Would just love to see...
27.205 x 18, (18 being half a 11 meter wave length, approx) = 489.69
489.69 x .84, (Velocity Factor), = 411.3396
411.3396 divided by 27.205 = 15.12
My calculations may be wrong but 15.12 feet is a half wave of Times Microwave LMR-400UF considering the velocity factor is .84
That's how I...
I do realize this is an old thread but, I highly recommend Stu at DX Radio Shop in Clyde New York. https://dxradioshopny.com
He aligned my Galaxy DX 94HP and set the low dead key to 2 watts and the high dead key to 10 watts and it forward modulates almost 120 watts when you turn the power up...
