For Sale or trade: I have 3 perfectly working oscilloscopes on my bench and willing to get rid of one of them for the right price or trade. The units are : BE Precision 2160 60mhz scope Elenco S-1345 40mhz scope Elenco S-1330 20mhz scope I know what they are worth but not what people are...

Im running a Imax 2000 vertical with a Syrio SY27-4 mounted below it horizontally. Both antennas have their own coax coming down and meeting with a T connector behind the radio.

The receive was better as far as peoples Signal.....I did some reading and decided to try it out and some of the guys I talk to constantly reported that with both connected through a T I am also sounding better then usual. I pulled someone down to 36 and tried each antenna by itself with the...

Ok so yesterday I got my new 4 element yagi beam up on my tower and mounted horizontally underneath my vertical Imax 2000. I got it tuned up great with my SWR at 1.02. Last night when Australia was coming in I was having a hard time pointing the beam at them correctly. I had a T connector on the...

So, making my coax from the radio to the antenna the length of one half the wavelength of 27.385 should change my resonant frequency to be around the right spot?

Ok. So a user on this website who i will leave unnamed unless he says it is ok for me to do otherwise, was extremely generous and allowed me to use his AA-54 Antenna Tuner. Ive read complete through the manual and needless to say am a bit dumbfounded. Ive figured out the whole SWR and range...

Looking to sell ($250 )or perhaps trade this old fella for something newer in the CB category. Excellent condition and working solidly! Has been taken care of and frequently cleaned. Absolutely only blemish is a small piece of plastic missing from the bottom left corner of the Mic stand. Was...

I simply refuse to get into a conversation about needing or not needing an Amp. Ive seen it cause far too many harsh words shared on this battleground we call the internet. I will leave it at my reasoning and say that i understand others dislike for them or choice to not use one. When mobile: I...

Im wondering if Robb is reading another post and then replying to this one?? Anyway, Binrat: Gonna have the battery and alternator checked today. Also gonna check all ground wires to see if something is perhaps loose or not connected properly or maybe even corroded. Again, Im not gonna replace...

Falkor, When i key up there is no dimming. Only when I start to talk into the mic. I NEVER run the stereo and the CB at the same time and in fact if I have the CB in the truck with me I disconnect the stereo system to connect the CB setup. My Trailblazer does in fact have headlights on at all...

Hmm, Yea i havent been inside the amp to see what transistors it uses. I just know I bought it advertised as a 500 watt maximum amp with Low Medium and High Settings. I occasionally run it at the 500 Watt mark when skip is super good and I wanna get on top of the east coasters in my way with...

In my local area ....yes. As I said earlier I live in a mining area. There are hundreds of literal mountains of pure iron ore rock and silica tailings with high concentration of metal ALL around me for 50+ miles. This creates extremely bad conditions when trying to talk locally on the CB when in...

Robb, ive talked across the pond multiple times in the mobile using the Firestik. I guess I dont have any complaints about it. Ive never really wanted to spend money on a top tier auto antenna because I spend such little times using the CB in the mobile. Its more of a long trip companion then...

I bought this Firestik at a local Truckstop and on the packaging it said it was rated to 1000 watts in big orange letters. * Checked the receipt....its a Firestik II FS Series 1000 Watt 5/8 Wave Mobile Antenna. Captain, Yea im not sure what is going on and after reading your post earlier Im...

mb91w126, I have one of those and a 40amp one in my shack right now. Thats actually exaclt what I was planning on using. And Wadena is about 3 and a half hours away from me. We have Walmarts close by though haha! I went out and tried this setup and it did in fact completely take the...

I have the 4foot Firestick going into a heavy duty mag mount with a spring between the mag and the antenna. Is there really that much of a difference between the Wilson and a Firestik?

I should have been a bit more clear. By truck I meant SUV lol. I drive a 2007 Chevy Trailblazer.

I have had people talk to me about using a whip but the only way i would be able to install it is on the ball hitch and that gets used alot pulling trailers with wood or the 4wheeler. My rear door also gets used alot. I refuse to cut a hole in my truck to mount anywhere on the sides. So a whip...
