I really like the 160M band!!! You really have to be pretty dedicated if you want to talk there due to the antenna length issue. I use a multiband 572 foot loop fed with 600 ohm up at 50-70 feet.

I like to match my voltage when I stack them, I would think there might be issues if you dont. MegaWatts are nice units.

Amazon for most of my stuff but I still use eBay a lot as well.

Hello, I have searched and cannot find a receive mod for the 2970N4. If its there I dont find it. I had one years ago and sold it but I dont remember the receive being so bad, its not even close to my AT quad 6. Is there any mods out there????? Also it has some blacked out 2sc2879's and the...

Really enjoyed reading this post. Lots of great info given to help you get this buttoned up. I am a DIY guy too. I love to get junk amps for cheap and work on them every now and then. I have learned a lot from this tinkering since the late 80's in my high school days. I am still not a pro...

Thats nice Bud!! I mean Bud like Buddy!! Right!!

Nice set-up!!!! For the money that rat shack meter works really good and it covers a lot of power. The SWR is on the money with my MFJ. I got a second one because of its size to mount permanent in my mobile. The meter is a little small but it works well.

The Imax 2000 and the Antron 99 are a breeze to set-up. If looking for a hassel free setup it would be one of these. They do not require any measuring at all, all the parts screw together, and are easy to get a low SWR reading. The Imax is the better of the two but will cost just a bit more. I...

Is this the same Doc from CB radio talk???? Thanks for the info Sir. I have a coil of 3/8 copper tube but will be using #10 copper wire for the final build. This weekend I am going to be making my coil out of #10 copper wire. The 3/8 tube is much larger so I cant really copy it for number of...

My fav is just a plain old Cobra Cam 89.

I have the newer 2995DX and LOVE it!!!! Receive is top shelf to. I got mine in like new condition for $425.00 to my door less the mic. At that price I could not turn it down. The memory and the scan memory are way KEWL as well. Kerry

Thats a real nice build. I am working on an open air coil type. Very similar to yours. Does anyone have any open air coil experiences? I am going the copper material way once I get all the little bugs worked out. This way I can sweat every joint and solder every connection. The price on this...

Anyone have any spec's on an open air coil 5/8's or .64 base antenna. I have mocked up on like booty's but I have been trying to get an open air coil to work. I can get as good as 1.7 SWR with radials at 90 degrees, I think I am needing to go 30-45 degrees on the radials. Anyway I am looking for...

This has been a very informative thread!!!! I am glad I found this forum. Peakaboo is even on here! This is where he hides from the other forum LOL.

I am not sure?? I am new to this forum. Its a bit different then CB talk. I want to tell you cbdoctor that your MOD has worked wonderful for me. I have installed it in MANY Galaxy type radios. I have never had anyone say they didnt like it or someone say it sounds bad. I have taken the top...

This is a good MOD!! It works well. The first time heard the difference in one of the local guys radio I had to know what was done. This was like a decade(+) ago. My little Galaxy DX55V got a healthy dose of sounding good done to it!!!!!! Its still a part of my shack, I was talking on it today...

Hello Bill, I have been promoting and using your npc/rc mod for a real long time. I have been going back to your old site(I-40 exit 220) forever looking to see if its got new info. For the heck of it today I was searching the mod and google lead me here. By the way that site is in bad working...
