    Alternator may be too small

    I had a 2×4 fatboy, it didn't bleed over because it was properly installed. I favor class c amps over AB amps, I think they perform better. If the 8 pill is too much then I may go back to the 2×4. Thanls

    Alternator may be too small

    I drive a 2012 Kenworth T700 with a paccar motor in it. These motors have small alternators on them. About 125 amps. I want to run an 8 pill but I'm afraid the alternator is too small. I thought about getting a motor maul but want to check my options before I go that route. Its a company...

    Now what?

    So I took my magnum S9 to a CB shop at exit 104 in Rutherford Glen VA. I needed it peaked and tuned and converted to 11 meter. I took it in the shop and he turned it up but the tech said he couldn't match the frequency numbers on my radio to match his bench radio. So I got a radio check and...

    Alternator in big truck

    The link I posted was off the internet. It showed a "T" shaped antenna typically known as a flat side antenna. The original link was from the website of the manufacturer of an antenna known as Black Al Capone. He too calls his antennas flat side. Now I'm pretty sure in your technical world these...

    To clip or not to clip. That is the ?

    So I have this Brand new magnum S9, and I'm almost certain it will need a peak and tune. What should I tell the tech when I arrive? Leave the amc limiter alone or clip it? What else if anything should I expect aside from converting from 11 meter to 10. Thanks folks for your help. 355

    Magnum S9 and LMR400

    Yea most people use a mini 8 or 213 coax, this LMR stuff seems like overkill. A bit Extreme but I'm curious how it will work! It certainly can't hurt. I like the solid copper semiconductor as apposed to braided. This should be interesting ...or maybe not. But stay tuned

    Magnum S9 and LMR400

    A friend of mine gave me 18' of LMR 400 with connectors already attached. So I guess I'll go ahead and use it. 18' just happens to be the length he gave me. If it were 5' I would've taken that too! Or 20000'. A gift of free coax was given to me.what am I gonna do not accept. "Oh no its not...

    Alternator in big truck

    Why don't you enlighten me Mr Kor. I don't ever proclaim to know everything ...that's why I'm on here. The only dumb question is the one not asked. I bought a " T" shaped antenna from a fella at a break in NC one year. I was told it was known as a flat side non omni directional antenna. The Guy...

    Alternator in big truck

    Am band. Mostly. And on 19 when I need information. As you may know, getting out on 19 is not so easily done these days. Every Tom, Dick and Red Head is running import radios with 500 Watt amps or better. The good ole days of asking for information on a standard CB radio are dead. Allow me to...
