    Ham Radio Question

    Check price of Stryker 955 and second hand IC-718 for example. 718 will eat that toy for a breakfast. On the other hand, if you already have some export CB 10m with ticket is yours. Just tune your antenna for 10m band. Mike

    steel whip bandwith and all these new fangled radios

    For 12m just make antenna longer by adding some wire at the top. For 15m capacitance hat maybe? Or just antenna tuner. Mike

    Galaxy DX99V from dual to single final possible?

    Make power adjustment proper way. Set ALC as before. In place of red cross add 1kOhm pot. (Just lift one leg of the resistor and add pot.). Adjust output power to desired lvl. Done. Mike

    Galaxy DX99V from dual to single final possible?

    There is other way, but I need what board you have in your DX99V. Old and new are single final based on schematics here: https://cbtricks.org/radios/galaxy/dx99v/

    Galaxy DX99V from dual to single final possible?

    Just compare schematics 1 final vs 2 finals. Personally I don't see any benefit from that modification. Mike

    Sirio Monsoon Antenna

    Low radiation angle for excellent DX. Strictly depended on mounting height. Can be skywave. Poor element joining with sheet metal screws. It seems, that is not DC grounded antenna. I doubt user can see a difference comparing to other, similar length antenna. Mike
