    And same to you Brother DXer and everyone else ! Hey while I'm at it has anyone heard from Unit 399 ? I can't remember seeing any posts from him lately. I hope he's OK.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Now that you mentioned it I think I need to crank up the ALC. You might be right about extreme temp swings and failed displays because my old one has to be 5-6 YO with no problems but it has been in the house most of the times because I was in new radio discovery mode most of the time. LOL

    Dosy Tc-4001-P

    This one was my first Dosy and it occupies my bench most of the time.

    Dosy Tc-4001-P

    I have 3 different Dosy meters and have never burnt up a radio using them but I consider them Home Owner Grade equipment. I had my first one calibrated to a Bird meter at a local radio repair shop and set the other 2 to match the first. But then again I never figured on going into business with...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Thanks I have to laugh because I have too much on my plate at the moment to open the radio up but the solar site said DX was good for 10-12 meters today so had to try the radio out today barefoot with hot activity going on. I made a good contact with East Texas today on 39 lsb and the guy was...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Do you have the number of the pot for turning down the dead key because I might consider doing that simple mod. As far as the rest of the mods I bookmarked them in my Uniden folder in my CB folder for future resource info. As I type the 980 has been barking out clear dx on 37lsb for sometime...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Yes how often do you find a brand new SSB radio for $100 bucks especially one with a good NBer and the Weather band.. I still hate the menu feature but set it and forget it. I haven't found a perfect radio yet and probably never will. Happy DXing ! Oh yes at least the controls are Fat Finger...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    You know it's all your fault ! LOL I bought that $100 980 the next day because I couldn't shake the urge to try it. I took the power cord from my other 980 so I could try it on the way home and couldn't get over how good the NB was but couldn't get a radio check all the way home but could hear...

    Changing brake pads requires subscription.....

    Let's hope their sales plummet severely to teach them a lesson !

    Basically the same here. Go to the youngest daughters in the morning to be with her and the grandsons and oldest daughter and granddaughters in the late afternoon. Merry Xmas to all members and may your stockings be filled with joy !

    Your are a Realist telling the truth. It is a special sickness that gets us where we are today. LOL

    11 meter is very quiet?

    The only reason to go to fleabay is if you like working on radios because it is a gamble. I don't work on them so I need something with a warranty.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I laugh because I was thinking of you today when I went to Flying J's today to get a couple coax T connectors and found their stock of CB antennas and accessories was gone. So I talked to a lady manager and I guess that stuff doesn't move fast enough but she did show me she had some new CB...

    Why is the KL 200 P slightly higher in price than the KL.203 P at Cooper Electronics?

    My KL 300P is Blue if that makes a difference.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I notice my McKinley doesn't like the cold either just like the Galaxies. It has to warm up to get on Frequency.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Which President radio, is it the McKinley ?

    Why is the KL 200 P slightly higher in price than the KL.203 P at Cooper Electronics?

    And what your saying is the KL 200P might be a little better amp for talking 10 meter radio. I think I heard that somewhere else along the line in my exploration.

    Why is the KL 200 P slightly higher in price than the KL.203 P at Cooper Electronics?

    Thank you, so what I get out of this is my first decision to buy the kl 200P because it was a better build wasn't totally wrong,but I later bought a 2nd amp and it was a KL 203P so I have both and I'll probably will never know the difference because I'm not technical enough ! LOL So let me...

    Why is the KL 200 P slightly higher in price than the KL.203 P at Cooper Electronics?
