ok...so can anyone TELL me how to add the delay to the box?

saw this little widget on ebay and wanted an opinion: http://cgi.ebay.com/Wilson-Cb-Ham-Radio-Antenna-Mobile-magnet-Ground-plane-/120668750444?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c186b026c my gut is telling me i'd be better off spending the $5 on an ice cream cone than this. anyway what do you...

Good Morning. I have a Fatboy 1x4 without delay. was wondering how complicated to would be to put it in?

i have the mag on the roof and the r's are 1.2 problem is that i really wanted the antenna on a trunk lip mount for aesthetic purposes. i tried the mag on the trunk and the r's were 1.7 for some reason the antenna simply doesnt like to be mounted with the trunk lip

actually we didnt bend the lmr in that hair-pin bend. just stuck it right through the hole (the part where you'd normally make that u-turn bend) and ran the lmr into the trunk. I checked continuity with the set screws to the chassis and it all checked out and I tried strapping a ground to...

I have a Wilson 5K Magnamount and got a new car (2009 Nissan Altima) and thought a trunk lip mount would look a lot better so I got a trunk lip mount (originally from a Wilson 1000) from a friend. I changed out the coax to LMR 400, installed the trunk mount and screwed on my 5K base & whip...

here's a silly question...is your radio grounded? if not run a wire (preferable a flat braid with eyelets on the ends)from a screw on the radio cover to the screw on any electric outlet's switchplate. that will cut noise. anso you will want to ground your power supply to the radio as well...

deb's decals on ebay. she has them for the older 148's with side mic. she has all crazy and special ones and she also has the one wich is wha i got--a factory stock 148 faceplate. i got a new bezel and a deb's decal and now this 1992 148 looks like a 2009! i think she sells them for around...

tried running straps from the set screw itself directly to the chassis--no help. someone suggested that the trunk on the altima is aluminum. didnt think that should make a difference though as the magnet works on the trunk. my buddy has a chrysler 300 which has an aluminum trunk and his...

just for the heck of it i am going to try re-grounding out the trunk. while i did verify metal-to-metal contact from the wilson's screws to the chassis with a meter maybe the path simply isnt good enough. i'm going to re-strap the trunk lid itself and also run a strap from the set screw to the...

yea rob looks like i dont have much of a choice anymore since no matter what since the trunk lip mount simply will not work. now it's just becomming more of an obsession with finding out the cause of the problem

Hi Doc...and yes puzzling is the better word. I can say that the coax is not shorted because i tested everything with the meter and all is as it is supposed to be. as far as the trunk lip mount it is the soda can looking one...the typical wilson one, we got around the sharp bend by simply not...

thank you gentlement for the interesting responses. now to address them: as far as the coax bend in the trunk lip, when the lrm was installed we did not bend it for the reason you mentioned, so that part is not the problem. there was DEFINATE metal to metal contact which was verified with a...

I have a Wilson 5000 Magnamount and a trunk lip mount. I was using the magnamount on the trunk and wanted to switch it to a lip mount and change the coax to lmr 240. I had the coax rewired and after installing the lip mount my swr was 19 (nineteen) on an mfj analyzer!. tried the magnamount on...

2 nights ago was the first time i have used extra channels in around 15 or so years. me and 2 others headded up to channel 50 (27.505). After a few minutes they told me i sounded distorted (like i was slipping away)and eventually i lost them. My friends did catch me however it was on channel 47...

My friend said it is very easy to make a remote switch for an amp (fat boy)..simply get a stereo mic plug (the big suckers) and run the center conductor to one side of the switch and the shield to the other. plug in and Presto! remote switch. well i tried it and it's not working. can anyone...

I have a 148 made in the Philippines (side mic socket). I have channels in it now but when I looked around for mods there didnt really seem to be much out there that I found...just soemthing about an audio limiter which can be cut and one or two pots for power. can anyone direct me to a good...

actualy just invested a few minutes into the problem and i think i found the culprit. the problem isnt the mic or mic connector but the mic socket in the radio. when i fiddled around with the socket it seemed to stop the problem. guess theres a loose wire inside. will deal with that over the...

driving down the road not doing anything--just sandbagging. all of a sudden without warning the 959 rodger beep starts beeping continuously. the TX/RX LED seemed to be stuck on both (LED was both red & yellow). weird. when i keyed ther mic i could transmit however upon unkeying the beep...

looked up the NVIS antennas. seems like it could be a good solution to my problem; however I am only seeing info. on them for ham. can they be used for CB? if so where's a good place to get one (or build one)
