Buy a yaesu 8800 or 8900. They are the best crossband capable radios on the market. Kenwoods are good but they have a 2 minute time out timer if the repeater you are listening to does not drop the crossbander shuts off until the repeater drops. That means it wont receive or transmitt anything...

Are you using new coax or some old stuff you had kicking around that could of maybe been damaged? Seems like you did your math correct because the figures you gave for the length of each leg seems on point for 28.400MHZ. I would be concerned about the coax. If the coax is in good shape and there...

That predator site is good to go..its still used by many. He backs his products 100% if purchased directly from him.

You should change the name of the thread from " 28am and the gang" to " who cares about John Denver" because that all who is referred to in this thread.

A free 10k is always good to go. I had to cut about 3 inches off my wip. If you go to short a new wip is about 10 bucks. I have my 10k hard mounted on a Gunny626 puck. Google him. He makes them and also sells the coax needed for the mount. My SWR is perfect. Its a good strong rugged mount. I...

Pro: Great Mobile HF rig when run w the ATAS120 CON: 25w AM I dont have much to complain about this radio. I ran it in my truck w good success for 2 yrs. I put it in my house on a dipole and it did ok. Its my first HF radio so i cant compare it to anything else. So my opinion is its a...

Kale backs everything 100%.

Lol

Duct tape solves everything. Try that.

Maybe you should define your operating style..ssb? AM? Cb? HAMRADIO? I will assume this amp is for CB and for AM since thats what most of the amp questions come from is AM CBers and w that said, Dave Made all the way. If your into SSB then stay away from Dave Made. If for SSB maybe you would...

I think his question was " what other radios do you truckers use besides CBs?". And not what a particular antenna was. I have talked to many truckers (short and long haul) on 2m repeaters (but mostly simplex) and also on HF. You would be surprised how many do have their ham tickets.. i spend...

Is it on frequency?? What AM band are you trying to listen too? And is it what you are hearing that is muffled or is it what they are hearing on your tx that is muffled? I know this may sound stupid but are you on AM and trying to listen to a side band signal?? Other than that and makeing...

Ps.. i am extreamly greatfull for where i am today.

KNOCK ON WOOD! just the opposite has happened to me.. I got out of the Marines 11yrs ago. Thought i could and would land me a state police job sfter getting out. I took the state police exam while still serving in the Marines and scored a 98 on the test. Got out of the corps and never even...

People ran wips on the bumper for decades.. it will be fine. .But as for that HR2600..now thats a bad ass radio and sure is a talker..if you are an 11m guy, get an astatic m6b on that bad boy and it will scream.. i ran that radio from around 1992 to 2005. Best AM talking radio i ever owned..

I came across a church PA system once while talking AM DX (11m) my mom came running out yelling at me. When she went back in i couldnt resist keying up and stating " this is god speaking." Followed by " evil laugh" with the end of my evil laugh dragged on w a long duration echo. :oops: This was...

I have all of mine (GRE 600, GTX 900, 857D, FT8900 and Magnum S9) all mounted in or on my Havis Shields radio console. The radios are bolted down inside it w the brains of the radios mounted under the rear seat. The wires all run under the carpet. The console is bolted down from inside the...

I had the same problem but with a few different radios..except, it was my house.. i have aluminum siding.. set my swr for various radios and when i pull out of the driveway my swr completly changes.. now i drive my truck out back.(i have a big yard). I tune my swr out in the open and away from...

Those bolts shown above will work too. Just make sure its grounded properly. This antenna is very picky..but if its grounded right, it will work the balls. Ps and dont try and tune it under a tree. I couldnt get mine to tune for several hours one day. To make a long story short, the tip of...

I have ran that mount for about 6yrs now with out any problems..i run it on my rear tail gate on a ford exploder.. thats all i recomend using...i open and close my rear gate many times a day w that mount and antenna on to let my dog in and out of the back. Not one issue of stress on the mount or...
