    2879 How much drive?

    Nope looking for good clean audio. I get great reports now from 50 feet away or 20 miles up the road on a good day. This is the answer I was looking for thanks. Looks like I will be keeping my good old 29. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    2879 How much drive?

    I understand that. I have my dk set I wanna know how much drive the pill can safely handle. For example could the pill handle a 40 watt forward swing from a Galaxy 55 and not over do it and make it sound like crap. I am asking because I am looking for a new radio but I am not sure what to...

    Go halfway down the rod with the stinger and use the stinger to rub the shielding off. Then flip the rod to use the other half. Everyone should do it this way. Better control. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Texas star dx667v turbo mod

    When I read threads like this I wonder we try to drive these amps with these big watt radios when keydowns are won with Cobra 29s. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Don't worry about it. I have not been posting here long but I have lurked here a while and some members have a stick up their bum and no sense of humor. I will probably take crap for saying this but I always prefer truth to lies. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Build your own amp

    My friend who got me started in radio told me with a good set of plans building an amp is not hard. Understanding what you are doing is. If you don't understand what a part does and why it does it you can't trouble shoot potential problems. I understand why you want to do it. In any hobby it...

    Audio drop off when amp is turned on

    We opened the amp up yesterday and it looked like the relay was hanging up. Took it over to a local guy and he fixed it up. Thanks for trying to help. I'm new and I guess I don't explain things to good. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Is it me or are CBers cheaper than hams?

    Off topic a bit but I have noticed that radio people in general over value their equipment. Asking almost retail prices for used equipment. Meh I guess people are paying. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Audio drop off when amp is turned on

    He said it was common. I was curious though. If the delay is to long is it a problem that should be fixed or just let it go? **Sorry about the multi post. I have not figured out how to multi quote on my phone. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Audio drop off when amp is turned on

    No not while modulating. The meter on the radio. Like the radio is getting no signal for a second. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
