Buddy called me tonight and said he put talkback into a new Cobra 29. Said he put a resistor across the ext spk and pa on board worked fine. Then he decided to make it variable so he tied the rf gain pot wires together and ran 2 wires to it and back to where he took out his original talkback...

I have never run a vertical at less than 40 ft at the feed point. Last cycle I ran a A99 at 40 ft. Worked the world on ssb without much work. Usually ran around 400-500 watts but also did it with 100 or less from time to time. Usually I chased DX above 27.405. Always SSB... I'm in the Midwest...

Ran a few in the past with and without ground plane.. saw no real difference. My only advice would be to get it up as high as possible.. it will work fine for what it is...

My first SSB rig was a 122 (trc-465). Added an expo 120 kit for extra channels and opened the clarifier. Worked the world on that little rig.. with a 4 pill and an omni. I still have it on a shelf in the closet. I will never let it go...sentimental value.

Great to work you today. Conditions were up and down but when you were up you were in the red on my 2950 in the mobile. So the barefoot 980 and Antron works just fine. 73 630 South central Illinois Tony

By law they have to resolve the issue to the best of their ability.. As Capt stated call your local utility give them the physical location of the pole. Most of our poles will be labeled with tag pole #. Also all transformer and overhead equipment poles will have a device number on the pole as...

Don't know if it the "Best" 2 meter mobile but the Larsen nmo 2/70 has always been a well performing mobile antenna. Comet and Diamond make some jumbo high gain mobile antennas but sometimes they don't hold up as well with mobile abuse.. I have limited experience with 2 meter only mobile...

You can take it a step further with explaining when and where the Got down occurred with "I just got down right there"

Heard them on 10 ssb Sunday. 5/7 signal at times. I had no luck working them yet. Op was working 25 to as much as 40 up split.. huge pile up. Even when I figured out where he was listening, my 100 w and Imax at 40 ft just didn't cut the mustard unfortunately..

That's very unfortunate news. You might consider a Yaesu rotor. I ran a G800 model for years with no issues until about 2 yrs ago. It was a mid 90s model and had never been touched. The potentiometer final let loose in it.. this was expected since it was starting to act squirrely. This is a...

I know I figured Capt... that was just my weird sense of humor showing.

I have no experience with the RM brand filter but I had a para dynamics years ago that had little affect on filtering anything at my old home. I picked up an old Bencher YA-1 low pass filter. Much higher quality unit that actually filters..

I read in the description "I do place identifiers in all my electronics." So... does he place LoJack inside?

The answer to all these comments about the loud harsh noise between transmissions on FM...is......drumroll.....SQUELCH!

It's unfortunate what .425 has turned into. Last cycle it was a great hang out with few if any asshats.. now that's about all you hear..

It's cool that you're trying to revive 10 AM. I have worked a handful of AM stations through the years but I usually forget to even roll through the 29.100 area of the band. For me it's always SSB or 29.600 simplex with the occasional repeater work... Guess I need to listen there more often...

Like a bunch of guys that have NO concept of what working split is.

This will create one of largest pileups ever seen..

The internet and YouTube are your friends for the information needed for correct measurements and installation. I did my 1/2 hardline N connectors with simple hand tools. Use a sharp knife and take your time.

The frequencies you list seem odd.. when adding. 0015 to all things would make more sense. 98% of all contacts I've made on 11 meters have been on even 5's of flats... 27.515, 27.435, 27.425, 27.420...etc. Might want to investigate this. Compare to another radio..settings...alignment. Anyway...
