Yes, I am an active member of WranglerForum.com. They all use the same basic setup of a Firestik mounted to the rear license plate frame, or the like. Very few people are looking to use their CB other than off road, never mind SSB'ing. I am looking for distance. Edit: I do Psycho, it is a...

Hey guys. For almost two years I have been running a Firestik II on the back of my Wrangler, mounted to a mast with a K-4A stud. I sanded the bottom of the mount point like I was told to do. Of course it is steel and rusts up fast, and I imagine that is not good for a proper ground. I...

Thanks a lot guys.

Anyone know this?

Well I did 500 miles with it yesterday and had nothing but good reports down the east coast, whereas before I got pretty much nothing. I used a 3' Lil Wil and was talking clearly to another guy from New Haven to some 40 miles south of NYC on Rt. 95. That is some 120 miles I figure. I had...

Ya know, I really should have contacted Galaxy. I should have known better than to bring it to a shop instead of having warranty work done to it. His prices in general are quite high, but I will see tomorrow when I get it back if it was worth it. Couple hundred bucks is meaningless in the...

I just talked to the fella for a while. Let me try to explain a bit: The service itself was a $20 part, plus $75 worth of labor. The clarifer, peak and tune + SSB tuning, meter etc. was what I requested that was not included in the service. He did not call me because the service price was...

That's what I thought. Anyone have an idea what I should have paid? I have $560 into this radio. That's insanity. It makes no sense.

Hey everyone. Last month I bought a DX-99v2 and did the conversion myself. I brought it to a guy here in Massachusetts who has been doing CBs for 30 years or so. I was having all sorts of problems on SSB...no one could hear me and I could not hear anyone. So long story short, he did $250...

Conversion works fine. I have not had time to really test it out yet. The needle does not swing like my 979 does even with VR16 cranked. It stays in the middle pretty much.

I will have to report back next week or so. Hope turns out ok!

Thank you very much. I have a few CB's, actually a Cobra 29 I could practice on that needs a final that it will probably never get. Thanks for your help my friend.

Hey everyone. I am going to convert my DX-99v2 when it comes in next week or so. I know it is rather simple to do, but I have never touched a radio with a soldering iron before. I have a fine tip iron here at the office I will use. I have installed a few car stereos etc. so I have...

Thanks fellas. I was wondering about the lack of a carrier signal and the modulation meter. I am new here as you can probably tell. Will most likely be looking for a place to do a proper tune on this thing. Suggestions welcome. Of course I'll search the forum too.

First I am wondering why the modulation meter does not move in SSB. It seems no one can hear me when I speak. This is a new radio and has not been touched on the inside. Second, when the cover is off and the faceplate facing me which direction should I turn the pot to increase/decrease...
