the 959/949 radios transmit the typical power output you get from a single final (2sc1969) CB radio. Expect about 18 watts max when 'peaked'. They do have a good modulation section, so they sound a bit louder than some other currently manufactured cb radios. Modifying them for expanded...

A blind friend asked me to look at his non-working 2950. This is an older model, with the orange display and memory battery. There is a short in the radio. When connected to a power supply, the PS goes into overload protection, even with the radio off. A quick look of the board did not...

I got away with the snap on ones, but in reality it would probably work better being wrapped, but in my case that would have required dropping the tank, yada yada yada.

In response to the electrical noise issue in the mobile, I would suggest you experiment with bonding/grounding. I have 4 vehicles with radios installed and have no problems with alternator whine or ignition noise. One vehicle is a Ford Ranger, known for producing noise from the fuel pump...

I think you meant to say "real appliance operators use a Yaesu or Kenwood..." :P The price of the rig you run has nothing to do with your ability and desire to be a ham. But you are correct in pointing out that this is where ham radio has gone. People think the expensive shiny boxes are...

My understanding is that you could use any of those radios on the amateur band. I do not see any restrictions on equipment listed in Part 97 rules, other than the requirement for transmitter power output & emissions standards. The issue of the 10 meter radios seems to be more with the sale of...

Roger, Good luck and I am sure you will succeed in getting your license. If you buy an antenna, try to plan ahead. If you only need a 2 meter antenna, you might want to look at dual band antennas, or even a tri band antenna, for when your station grows. The most widely used antennas...

Currently, I run a pair of /\/\ GM300 Radius radios for a crossband link. A 45 watt VHF radio programmed with 2 meter simplex and (not so) local repeaters, and a low power UHF radio (turned down to 500 mw) programmed on a 70cm link frequency. These radios are coupled with a /\/\ Rick unit...

I have a Hustler 6BTV and a G5RV. The G5RV does hear better, but it is up around 36 feet and horizontal. The 6BTV is ground mounted as you can see in the link below. My earlier post about my Hustler 6BTV

I don't think these radios will exhibit the loud modulation and "swing" that many CB ops look for in a radio. If you want a louder sounding base radio, the Galaxy DX 2547 is the way to go. That said, there isn't anything wrong with these 1000 style CBs, it's just that you probably won't get a...

Slim, Not sure of the output of these crystal models, but I would guess 15-25 watts max. As for crystals, they would probably cost much more than the radio is worth, and I looked at ICM and they didn't even list that model Midland Crystals Jan Crystal is another source of crystals, but...

Ron, you ol' sandbagger.... won't be long now until you and I can work each other on 80 & 40 meters (probably 40m would work best for us). I am looking forward to seeing you on the HF bands when you get your General ticket.

Slim, That model number is not appearing on any listing I have, so thats why I thought it was the -0375. It may be an older crystal unit. What does the radio look like? Can you post a photo? Is the front bezel trim gray, black or a yellow color? If it is yellow, then it is definitely...
