    Hi guys! Getting back into mobile with the FT891 and ATAS120A in my F150. I can't find anything on the KiralinkFT program. Did it die? 73, Brett

    Imax 2000 and added coil?

    Hey Riverman, good to see you here! Glad the Wolf River has been working well for you. My thought for the Imax was it is a lot more wire in the air than a 102" whip, which is a good thing. Seems easy enough to mount it in the ground, and hold up to Texas winds. All the portable setups I...

    Imax 2000 and added coil?

    I already have an end fed random wire to do that. It is difficult to get in the air sometimes. Adding a coil is common enough, except typically with a 102" whip, or one of those MFJ telescopic things (which are pretty fragile). I may have to just try it and see. 73, Brett

    Imax 2000 and added coil?

    Magnum repair?

    Hi folks, long time, no see! I used to be on here a lot. Got my ticket years ago and kind of got away from CB. New job has me driving a lot, so my interest in having a mobile in my truck is back. Just curious who works on the old Magnum Omegaforce S45HP and 275HP rigs? My trusted local guy...

    What band is best mobile

    When the bands play right, 40 is very good for these distances during the day. Of course it goes long in the evenings, but during the day you can sometimes get about 300 miles out, and anything in between. Lots of fun! 73, Brett

    Vintage Lafayette HB-333 CB Base Radio

    Is the Lafayette like the old Robyn/Gemtronics/Teaberry models? They were all pretty much the same, IIRC.

    Terms on Amateur Band...??

    I think Bob85 nailed it... signal and readability. Although I have NEVER heard anyone say that after a signal report. And Blackcat360 is correct... EVERY signal is 5/9 on a contest weekend. Again? Again, again? Prefix please? K5AB...? Ok, K5ABC, you are 5 and 9! :ROFLMAO: 73, Brett
