Digital phone modes of operation are quite amazing. If not magical. The audio quality is far better then ssb,am,fm..but only at communication quality. I did some 60+ mile 2m ssb from base to mobile. Even on CB it removed all static and power line noise 10's of miles beyond AM,FM or SSB range. I...

Found this gem..a bargain at 1/2 the price. https://www.ebay.com/itm/JoGunn-SUPER-SINNER-10-11-METER-RV-VAN-4DOOR-TRUCK-SUV-ANTENNA/223397298481?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

He showed me his mobile DDRR antenna years ago...man does he get out. Pretty sure it doesn't have the gain of a 1/4 wave type. But what do I know. Call him, he loves to talk...and actually knows what he's talking about. My friend has a commercial made 11m version we used as a "luggage rack"...

If they built them right, everyone here would be bitching about the price.

Love my AOR digital modem. Zero use on 11. But back in 2003 we had a bunch of guys messing with it. It's amazing the range of a stock 12watt ssb radio.

I don't think you'ld notice a difference on a radio meter. A field strength meter 50 yards out would be a better test. My money it's a cunt hair difference.

Let me know the songs name...or how it goes. I'll send a link if I can.

Yep..

Yep..Now I remember why I went with yagi's. Can be a real mess. Hell I have to replace an element every now and again on my yagi.

I've heard nothing but good stuff about Signal Engineering over the years. Let us know how it works out. I also wanted to try out the L8.

Kinda interesting. How do you say mudduck stomper in Italian?

Go right ahead. It doesn't change a thing, and I sprayed many over the years.

Yep. Just good people. Miss talking with Chris. Can't tell you how many times he filled my 2 hr plus commute home...then he still be talking some. He had tons of ideas out of the box. Little drama too..Why do CB/Ham tech just love drama. Guess that could be it's own thead.

That's nuts. Remember to take it off before putting you car in drive!

I was told it was a 1/2 wave. 007 has one. Handles big power and get out pretty good.

I bought a well used 250amp battery charger as into pair of 8v scrubber batteries in series. In "start" mode it ran about 17vdc into the batteries...Did that for many years. Just keep the batteries outside! If you hear any AC..add water. I remember whole setup cost me $50. Still have the charger.

Commercial stations can go as high as 120%. However SW use 100% or less due to selective fading. I run less carrier and more mod to REDUCE the load to my transmitter. The carrier does nothing but make quiet and run up your electric bill. A little slang ain't a bad thing. But when push comes to...

A friend since the 90's..RIP. I only met 2 radio techs that could fix, or figure out anything electronic.... smoked way too much.

Been down that road. If you simply want to be loud, by all means go ahead. Just don't pinch that carrier too much. And forget about any wideband audio. Generally speaking...those mods sound like crap above around 160--200% on a typical CB receiver. But many exceptions to that exist. With all...

If you have overhead power lines...move. or change hobbies.
