LOL, that thing is pricey!!!!!

Why this over the Maco 5/8's???

My brother is getting back into the CB deal. He just got a Bearcat 980SSB from Walmart DOT COM site. Figured it would have come bone stock but it does 20-25 on AM and up to 20W on SSB with 12.5V supply so its likely not bone stock. Anyway, I have not bought a vertical CB antenna in over 2...

I get up over 405 often.

I know what you mean. I normally only get to have a real conversation early in them morning between 5-7AM. Not long after that its just how you explained. during the day I only have long QSO's on 40 or 80 meter, sometimes 160 meter.

I always use silicon based thermal grease/paste, even on my custom computer builds. You are right I have seen to many with dried up issues and also thermal paste creep which is a huge issue with exposed electrical connections because some of that stuff is conductive. ALWAYS USE SILICON BASED!!!!!!!!

I am on 37LSB, 426 in the TX Bayou

I understand, I like to make and repair all my stuff as well. I see them on eBay and Amazon but they have the wire, I dont see just the jack plug by itself. https://www.amazon.com/Cutesliving-Yaesu-CT-167-FTM-100D-FTM-200DE/dp/B0DQTW8SLS/?tag=worradfor-20

That link I posted is the TEN pin!!!! Yaesu FT-950 10 Pin Amplifier Relay Cable With ALC - NEW

You can get them from CW-Man on eBay, I have a lot of his products. https://www.ebay.com/itm/315061991274?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5336136228&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1

I will call again.

I am on 375 listening now.

I am in NE Texas, in the Caddo Lake Valley Bayou area

I just put out a couple calls

I will be monitoring 37LSB, 426 in the TX Bayou, Gator Tamin today, LOL

Yes, just have my analyzer connected to it. No need to put a radio on it until the antenna is right. Its an air variable like out of a Ham tube amp. Use that then measure its capacitance so its quicker with the vacuum variable. Air is just for tunning with the analyzer, Rig Expert AA-650 ZOOM.

Awesome!!!! I thought mine needed to be closer to the tin roof and not 12 inches away. I have not got to revisit this yet as I had some amps that came in for repair but I will get back to it and let y'all know. Thank you shockwave for this info, that helps for sure. I have the Rig expert AA-650...

Seen a few videos of machines like this, its pretty impressive!!!

I am already there, will be most of the day. 426 in the Texas Bayou

I fallow the solar data daily!!! Got to keep up on the HF band conditions. Love it when 80M and 15M is good.
