Hey Rod, I was across town the other day we made contact. Driving home from work and stuck in slow traffic on the 6Pro in my truck. I have been dreaming of an 8 pill Carl Built, but it's going to have to wait until spring. We will see. Definitely looking forward to making contact with members on...

Hey @Brother DXer , great talking to you and thanks for the contact. I am surprised you could hear me because my antenna is pointed at the North West corner. I can't point it at you because my house is in the way. Always nice talking to forum members. 73&51 Chris

The best way to listen to your transmit audio, is with a second radio with earphones and no antenna. I use a Cobra 148 as a station monitor and give my audio a quick check every time I power up.

This thread is for Black Friday Deals, if you find something good post it up. This one is on Amazon.

I have Hawaii coming into the side of my beam. If I turn my beam, it will be pointed at my house, oh well.

Yes, when set to electret it sends voltage on the audio wire. So for a dynamic or power mic it would be best to set it to dynamic. Although I don't think it would hurt anything if it was set wrong.

The 955+ can use an electret mic, and is selectable in the menu. The best mic is DIY with the element from a telephone handset. Second choice is a Uniden BC645 for less than $20 on Amazon.

Looks like it's too close to the ladder rack?

"At seven pm, the main hatch way gave in, he said "Fellas, it's been good to know ya."" This still gives me chills as we remember that fateful November day. But what really happened?

The trick is to buy your wife something BEFORE you buy yourself something. ;)

I have a couple of the Powermax 100A supplies, really clean and adjustable voltage. Can power your RV, charge your batteries and run your radios/ amps. https://powermaxconverters.com/product/pm3-12v-series/

I was just thinking that the chances would be good that a failed capacitor is the cause. Guessing that the radio is approaching 40 years old, the capacitors need to be changed anyway.

A radio that old would be a good candidate for a total recap.
