    K40 BCmax with standard 148

    Got the antennas, Man they are beasts. I wont have the heavy duty mounts till the 16th so I will have to use my old antenna for now. I will say this, If they work half as good as they look it will be great...:D I am gonna get the 148 setup tomorrow and my TS plumbed.

    Max input for TS DX500...Not DX500V

    Hey all, i got my new truck and will be using my buddy's 148 with my TS DX500. My Galaxy 99 puffed the key up circuit and I want to avoid this. My Dx500 is the old one without the knob (Not a 500V). What is the max input (output from radio) that will work. I am now back to seperate components...

    Lookin for a new radio to run with the TS DX500

    A new issue has risen, I finally picked up my new truck and it has been set up for a radio (Off the upper console at windsheild...Peterbilt) and a amp behind the passenger seat. Its already set up. So, Now I am back to the Amp/Radio combo. I really like the rCI 69ffb4 but the $$ are a tough one...

    Adjusting echo on the rci 69ffb4

    Yea, Thats what I was thinking but then my brain takes over and I start thinkin of different ideas. I am comftable with a soldering iron but I think I will leave the new radio alone.

    K40 BCmax with standard 148

    I ordered the k40 bcmax for my rig. I wont be able to pick up my rci for a few weeks. I want to get the antennas all mounted and ready to go cause I will be back to work the week after next. Will they work ok for communicating with my fellow drivers and the loaders for now using a cobra...

    Adjusting echo on the rci 69ffb4

    Very cool. I actually thought about it some more. Maybe fab a trick little plate to attach to the outside that would carry the control. Would love to see a pic if you can get one.

    Adjusting echo on the rci 69ffb4

    Probably a stupid question, Just wondering, Has anyone plumbed off the internal controls and put controls on the outside, say on the side of the radio with echo or any other internally adjusted item that wasn't on the front of the radio. Just wondering if anyone has.

    Adjusting echo on the rci 69ffb4

    I am waiting to get this radio and was wondering how easy it is to adjust the echo from the inside. Is it just a trim pot? It is my understanding that it comes stock with a bit to much. Thanks

    Lookin for a new radio to run with the TS DX500

    All of your points are defenitly being taken. I think My main Problem with the Seperate amp is where to put it. The TS is kinda big. With my Galaxy 99, I had it attached to the radio hanging off the cb mount in my truck. That mount eventually cracked. Can I mount it somewhere else and run longer...

    Lookin for a new radio to run with the TS DX500

    Actually most all of that. I want to be able to use a radio like the rci to its potential and to understand what I am doin. I am on the road a lot and have a lot of time to do this. At first, a few years ago I just wanted a cb for truckin but lately I have become very interested in what else is...

    Liquid cooled antenna...Any good?

    Actually, I think it looks lame and I personally wouldnt do it. If a loader hits my antennas he should look for another job!!
