My expierience From my experience on this matter, I totally agree. I am not familiar with the new generation of electronics. I find myself getting familiar with the new things FAST and in the hard way! I was out of the "Business" since the late 1980's and recently got back. All the new...

Clear This Up ... Maybe I didn't make myself clear I don't know....I had no part in making the decision on what size PS I needed. There is very little information Available online for the Fat Boy and the amps it needs or anything else for that matter. The RETAILER should have made the...

Thanks...I would have bought whatever HE recommended for it...HE was selling the product...HE should have known what it would require...HE should have made sure of what he sold if he did not know. The only decision I made about it was to buy it and I made a big $150.00 mistake!

I am wondering if I am the only one who has gotten ripped off by the Guy at R#+m%n CB....Bought a amp for my 10 meter from him...told him I preferred a base with built in Power supply. Insisted that I go with mobile amp and use a Pyramid ps26kx. The P.S. is not large enough to pull it. The P.S...

KBM-95## I still have the original license somewhere around here from back in the early 70's...72,73....maybe 74 I don't remember. I used my paws # until I got old enough to get one. KFU-0134 I think it was...I still remember lot of the old call signs. I wish "CB" was not called CB. It should...

Wawasee Black Cat I was into the CB scene from the early 70's through 1988-89? I used a Black cat JB12 made by the Wawasee company. It is a Modulator...NOT an amp. A regular 4 watt CB would drive the thing...I can't remember for sure but it either had 1,2 or 3 tubes. I actually had 2 of them. A...

You'll get it You'll figger it out in no time flat!

Voyage vr9000 Well, to make a long story longer...I hadn't touched a radio in about 30 years. I am pretty much confined to the house due to "Circumstances" beyond my control so, I was thinking about the different things I could do to help get my "Mind" off of "Things"...SO, I thought of...

YES! Yes by all means Used is worth the Gamble if it is not a Large amount invested....The BEST Radios I have ever bought were sight un-seen! I have a Voyage Export that is one of the best if not the best talking radio in the car/truck I have ever owned and I have had a number of 'em over...

after I had done everything else...changing height, location, angle, shortened it by folding back, lengthened it adding wire...everything I could think of from past experience... THEN I followed the 'struction and cut 1.5 inch off each side in equal parts from side to side. The BALUN was what I...

CB Tricks CB Tricks . com would have it ...I have an old Zach that won't come on. Good AM radio

Yep I had never used a Balun before when I built wire antennas...don't know why they included one with this...I bought several years ago...I probably will shelve it and when this cold spell breaks start over with plain wire or try the 102" whip configuration...I tinker too much for my own...

Better than Avanti Sigma 5/8 ?? I have ran a Avanti Sigma 5/8 since 1972 or 73...I've Dx'ed around the country and South America with less than 75 watts with an old White face Johnson and for 8-10 years a Zachary T that has never been opened. I have been out of it since the late 80's, put the...

Here I go again. I found a wire dipole that has a 1:1 Balun ( had it stuck away for several years). I have put it up instead of trying the 102" whip I wrote about earlier. I tried it in an inverted "V" at a 55' angle and 45' angle, tried it horizontal too! I cut it the right length, aprx 8'5"...

Thanks for all the help Guys! I found some old notations from the late 70's, early 80's when I was really "into it" making antennas especially. One thing I tried was to use a length of the 300 ohm twin lead antenna wire like used to be for TV....I see where I tuned and tuned and finally got the...

Overkill?? NAWWWW! Just for a little something to think about...In 1973 or 74 my Dad and I put up our New Avanti Sigma 5/8 Base antenna. (I STILL HAVE AND USE IT) Back then there were only 2 coax available in this area...the RG8 ("the little stuff") and the RG58 ("The BIG STUFF") Well Daddy...

Hello out there everybody. I was in the "Business" from 1972-1986-89? and had to quit due to job travel 50 weeks out of the year (exception od mobile). I have always been one who enjoyed experimenting with antenna set ups, building different antennas and things. I have made several "Wire"...
