The HOUSE should come with them at that price. At least... the DOG should !!!!!!

I was just looking through my local Facebook Marketplace for CB gear.... (right here in my little Deer Park, TX) Found a guy selling 2 radios... A Cobra 21 (plain old 23 channel), and A Cobra 25LTD... $150 EACH!!!!!!!

yeah.... but it is ROUND so I fall off of it a lot!!!!!!!!!! ;)

See if this will do ya !!!!

I have a question. As far as the meter goes I took it out and ran it through it's basic paces and it works like it should. Then I thought about something...... I used a DMM to check continuity between the BLK banana jack and the "safety ground" on the line cord. TOTALLY OPEN!!!!! No...

An "antenna guy" after my own heart! How do you do with that????

I have one of those!!!! We went to buy a new van one time. Myself, wife, two boys. He wouldn't hit the mark she wanted... I got up and left the table and went out to our car. About a half hour later, one of our boys came out to the car grinning. I asked how it was going. He said "mom's...

And, if I am understanding what I have read before about biasing of the RF final, you DO need it there. I am thinking that it serves as an RF choke to keep RF from splitting down into R56. The addition of the choke makes it a higher impedance path to the RF that is "just passin' through" to...

I did get a DC block.... as the DC spec on this thing is 5v MAX. The one I bought is 50v and I will use insane care beyond that. I do intend to get at least a 40 dB 10 watt and a 10 and 20 dB behind that just to throw in a bag. For the bench I have a 40 dB sampler with a 300 watt dummy...

I do need to research the PC software angle. I am just hoping that I can find a solution that works for me. I am one of those techie types that runs Linux full time at home. I do have Win10 available (but I have to reboot the laptop to get there), and I do have Wine( it is a "Windows...

https://www2.randl.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16_16990&products_id=75872 This is it. A radio and electronics business in Ohio...... I ordered it online 6/4 and the delivery was made on Saturday 6/8.... I am in the Houston, TX area. That was pretty quick I think. And...if you...

Well it came in, and the first thing I did was run self-test... which worked. But I came back the next day and ran...and it failed self test #3 which was a "signal level" issue. After researching... one of the first things suggested by the make is..... put a full charge on it!!!! And it...

i REALLY think that THIS is s true statement. The cell phone "gets around" the chance where somebody might not be listening at the time you need help.

Yes sir. I got one of those a couple of months ago. While I DID get it to serve my needs in antenna adjustment.... I thought that it MIGHT serve as a spectrum analyzer at LEAST in looking for harmonics. THEN I found the video on YT from IMSAIMAN about using a NanoVNA for a spectrum...

Once upon a time....... one could key up on CH9 and ask for a REACT monitor (at least in my area!) and have a reasonable chance of getting an answer FROM REACT or even just somebody who kept a radio on 9 when they weren't doing anything else. These days???????? I don't think there is a chance...

and, seriously... you don't need to screw the transistor to the heat sink.... the adhesive on the pads is enough? May have to look in to that...... Thanks!!!

I wonder if that would be sensitive enough to temp difference to compare a "mica" transistor insulator and one of these "silpat" insulators that just "stick on"? I've heard of those and even seen sheets for sale.... but my age makes me a little bit wary..... ;)

I know that they are not a fine lab instrument... but considering that my work is pretty much "hobby level on steroids" I believe it will do fine. I actually have an old 500 MHz Hameg 5006 (w/tracking generator) on the bench. IT is plenty fast as far as scanning. It is just so old that it...

With the language I use.... In the traffic I see..... I don't think VOX is a good idea for me
